So here's the thing, even though Black Friday and Cyber Monday are officially in the rear view mirror (with record online spending this year, no less), it's not as though retailers are slowing down with the deluge of deals.

The cream of the crop when it comes to widely available TV technology is still OLED, though it comes at a pricing premium compared to LCD and, in most cases, mini LED as well. However, OLED is much more affordable these days than it was just a few short years ago, a fact that's highlighted by LG's new B4 OLED TV...

At some point, micro LED technology has the potential to disrupt the TV display landscape by potentially dethroning OLED in image quality while completely avoiding OLED's biggest weaknesses, such as the risk of permanent image retention (burn-in).

You may not have noticed, but incredibly large TVs are coming within grasp of ordinary individuals rather than being relegated to those who scored big on Bitcoin, or otherwise amassed a fortune. No, we're not talking about 65-inch, 75-inch, or even 85-inch TVs, all of which no longer necessarily command a king's...
