Made some money from options recently but still too cheap to upgrade from Switch OLED to Switch 2 🤌🏼

Sorry to be nitpicky, but here's the problem. A good Sony in 2002 for $500 may not be equivalent to a $200 TV today. Back then that may have bought you a nice status symbol for affording something average people couldn't. So the real comparison might be $1000-$2000 OLED today. Also to watch sports like you used to, you might need multiple streaming services or YT TV etc. It's really hard to compare, I'm not saying there is a great answer. But at the same time the 99% deflation figure stated is probably BS too.

Sorry to be nitpicky, but here's the problem. A good Sony in 2002 for $500 may not be equivalent to a $200 TV today. Back then that may have bought you a big screen and status symbol for affording something average people couldn't. So the real comparison might be $3000 OLED today. Also to watch sports like you used to, you might need multiple streaming services or YT TV etc. It's really hard to compare, I'm not saying there is a great answer. But at the same time the 99% of deflation is probably BS too.

Sufficient_Habit5091

Fully agree on your points. Interesting that you bring up TVs. It's actually a great example demonstrating why CPI is fundamentally broken as a measure of inflation. When everyone had a big tube TV they paid $200-$300. Then flat screens came out starting at $4,000 going all the way to $15,000. Of course those went way down and show a "decrease" in the price of TVs. At some point the original flat screens could be gotten for $1,000 while HD and LED backlights became flagship at the high end price range. The same cycle repeats and 4K OLED went to $1,000-$2,000 before dropping. According to CPI TV's have gotten 99% cheaper from 1990-2025. This measures "price changes" but not cost of living. No one wants a tube today. It wouldn't even work with other devices or apps you need to watch where most content is.

thatissomeBS

Remembering the prices growing up, my dad paid like $1,500 for a 27" Sylvania console TV in the 80s. He also paid about $1,400 for a 55" Philips 4x3 mirrored CRT monstrocity. So yeah, being able to get a 50" 4k smart TV for $200 is dirt cheap. I know I can spend more on 120hz for gaming, or a good OLED, but if you don't have the money to spend 10x that amount anyone can have a TV good enough for 95% of viewers.

yeoldecotton_swab

Dude, 75 in TV OLED for like 398, wtf.

Competitive_Touch_86

And my wife couldn't tell the difference between 480p and 4k when she had her TV configured incorrectly when I first met her. Some folks just do not care, you are one of them. If you can't tell the difference between a 10 year old TV and a top-tier modern OLED you are either fairly blind or outright lying to feel smug about yourself. I'm going with the latter.

InfernoBA

Lol If you actually get a quality OLED I promise you’ll notice the difference compared to your cheap TCL.

Allfeelings0Logic

LG TVs are the cheapest they've been. It's crazy how cheap LG OLEDs are now considering how expensive a quality OLED panel has been for the past 15 years. 

vsladko

A $1000 LG OLED TV is still “cheap” given the tech that’s in it. Plasmas and LCDs a decade ago were going for even more. It might not be cheap to you at time of purchase but TVs have remained consistently priced as tech improves and inflation is rising

I just found a 50 inch samsung tv for $300 at Best Buy. I understand it’s not OLED and probably not as color accurate as more expensive tvs but it probably looos great to most people. I own an Alienware AW2725DF monitor so I do get caring about that stuff but it’s just not necessary for a lot of people especially if they have houses they want multiple big tvs in: [https://www.bestbuy.com/product/samsung-50-class-u8000h-series-crystal-uhd-4k-smart-tizen-tv-2026/JJGRF3QT85/sku/6670831?sb\_share\_source=PDP&ref=app\_pdp&loc=pdp\_page](https://www.bestbuy.com/product/samsung-50-class-u8000h-series-crystal-uhd-4k-smart-tizen-tv-2026/JJGRF3QT85/sku/6670831?sb_share_source=PDP&ref=app_pdp&loc=pdp_page)

Echelion77

Visual fidelity buyers in shambles. How dare my $400 TCL OLED 65 inch look exactly like the c6. Oh your eyeballs can see the difference? Must be an expensive enhanced trait to have.

Character_Set3454

In 2012 or so my mom asked me for a few stocks to buy. I told her NVDA, STX (because 4k was just coming in and video games were getting box so I thought storage would be worth way more), OLED, MSFT, and I think MINI. But then also, a buddy of mine had a construction company and was building a warehouse, the company was pink sheets and they were about to finish construction. This was all over their socials so no insider, but the shares were sub penny lotto, like business makes it or doesn't. I said throw 100$ in it for a gamble and see what happens. She lost 50$ on that stock.  I still hear about it. Every fucking Christmas. Every Christmas.  50 fucking dollars. I offered to give her 100$ to just shut up about it but she said no, obviously the story is worth more than 50$.  Ohh and all the other tickers? She didn't buy any of them because she wanted "something with a dividend."  There is no value ever in giving anyone you know stock advice. 

Bob_the_peasant

I just want an American made OLED TV, that way I can more directly support Palantir instead of going through middlemen like Samsung. Is that so much to ask?

WrexyWrex

I want the xps 13 but with a Ultra 7 258V High performance efficient battery in a small design with a OLED 4k screen. That would honestly be amazing

UnObtainium17

My OLED TV has formed a burned-in image of an OKC player on the freehrow line.

OwnObject8163

So LG has come out with a transparent OLED TV that you can watch on both sides. 40inch,55inch and 77inch ... touch screen and all...sci fi coming to your living room before a fumbling robot

DarkR124

Going to go to bestbuy tomorrow to buy a 4K OLED for my bedroom. Thanks CRSR. Maybe I’ll also buy a mouse or something too. As a thank you.

A55BAG

Steam deck huge price hike 1TB OLED $649 -> $949 is bullish for Nintendo. I'm buying the dip today. The market will be surprised how well switch sells in Q1.

PhgAH

An uglier, lower spec, more expensive than an average Chinese EV, lmao.  You can buy like 5 full spec Xiaomi SU7 and still have enough money left to buy a house. Also, wtf is that tiny ass interior monitor. Zeekr can put a 38 inches OLED Tv in their for $75k. 

perceptive_AI

I bought a $500 mini-led monitor and it's great. I would have bought a OLED but I'm afraid of burn-ins.

tristis_veritas

>I don’t know lol I ain’t feel shit but also you don’t have proof of your claims to back anything besides how you “feel”? Maybe you’re falling behind It's not feel dumbass. OER is a ridiculous and fabricated way to measure shelter cost. This is well known. "Inflation" measured as one holy tablet in the sky by a giant and complex calculation with million subjective choices under enormous political pressure to keep it low (like indexed by benefits) is insane and horseshit. No one middle class and poor in the K shape economy believes this shit. It just doesn't actually capture true cost of living. Just one example. When everyone had a big tube TV they paid $200-$300. Then flat screens came out starting at $4,000 going all the way to $15,000. Of course those went way down and show a "decrease" in the price of TVs. At some point the original flat screens could be gotten for $1,000 while HD and LED backlights became flagship at the high end price range. The same cycle repeats and 4K went to $1,000-$2,000 before dropping. Edit: corrected 4K is not $1k to $2k today basic LED is cheaper, OLED is though and my point still stands. According to CPI TV's have gotten 99% cheaper from 1990-2025. This measures "price changes" but not cost of living. No one wants a tube today. It wouldn't even work with other devices or apps you need to watch where most content is. Same thing for smartphones. You could buy the original iPhone for $399. That was a truly revolutionary technology on the cutting edge. Today iPhone 17 which is barely an improvement from recent models is $799 at the starting price. But CPI says smartphones from 2019-2025 declined 60%. If they tracked it earlier I bet it would show an even steeper "decline" in price. Of course for the same features the original iPhone costs nothing to produce today but that's not comparable for what the typical person actually needs or desires in today's age. At the end of the day though, even if it did capture these things correctly, citing an "average" is not even useful when there's so many variables that determine how inflation impacts you personally. Think age like elderly using a lot of healthcare or whether you have dependents or children), where you live, income level, etc. If they don't study inflation experienced by different groups or percentiles, it's really not helpful. Bottom line: * Price stability is paramount to a well functioning economy. * Massive debt is spiraling and bankrupting us. * Printing money has been tried countless times by countless civilizations and it always leads to total ruin.

burner456987123

It very well could bounce back. $10 seems to be the floor and it’s certainly been higher. Might depend on how things fare after the price hikes on switch 2 and original switch OLED. Like a lot of older millennials I love Nintendo, I just learned it may not be a great stock.

Debated buying an OLED tv for $3k until I stayed at my sisters for a week and realized it doesn’t matter since streaming quality is dog shit

NaluknengBalong_0918

Watching a movie on an OLED TV is so much clearer than a standard movie theater…

voidedhip

Are there actual Bull thesis going on here are you guys so fucking stupid that you have the equivalent of OLED burn but with buying calls?

sonofalando

Great, now I have Reilly Reid burnt into my 83” OLED. What am I going to tell my wife?

Amitriptylinekoning

Hows the OLED monitor bro

CHUBBYninja32

And an Alienware OLED ultra wide.. Something like $500-800 depending on sale and refresh rate.

Former_Island_4730

OLED’s and all inclusive trips for a family of 4…and begging an internet stranger for $7k to support his family. 😂

sexdick420

I’m not saying this is 100% wrong except that it will replace the first switch. And considering it’s only priced $100 more than the OLED I don’t see why anyone would have any motivation to buy the first one. It’s also the fastest selling game console in Nintendo history since its release.

jonnyraza27

Damn OLED , nice man I’m sure it will be

Flat-Focus7966

I got an OLED screen. Now I watch my money disappear in super high definition with vibrant colors…..

I recently bought a barely used 1TB OLED Steam Deck from Facebook Marketplace for $500. Probably the best deal I've gotten on something in a long time. I didn't really need it but I had the cash and had a feing I wouldn't get the opportunity at that price point again until they release the next Deck.

Godslil

How the hell can Google have all my info and think I'm a morbidly obese oncologist who has friends that want to kick it with me in front of a $9000 OLED TV?

Top-Lingonberry34

It's by design I can tell you most switch 1 owners prob have at least 2-3 consoles and that adds to sales. If they put out OLED day one they won't get another sale out of hardcore fans.

RockOutToThis

I really don't care about the OLED when I don't play it handheld enough for it to matter. 99% of my gaming is docked. I only play handheld when traveling. 

Catch_ME

I'm holding out for the oled version.  It's kinda dumb they didn't release an OLED model. 

grimandnordic1

Depends on what you need it for. I recently got a Lenovo gaming laptop as I heard good things about the quality of their laptops. Specifically for cooling and quiet fans. So far I'm really happy about it. It has a bunch of colorful LEDs. Pretty gay. I think Asus has better tech(like OLED screens and shit)in theirs but they generally are more expensive. I think either one would be a good option.

skeet_scoot

Yeah I think Nintendo has not been smart with how they have positioned the Switch 2 in the market. The price of games is astronomical as you pointed out, and not having OLED is criminal.

samuelj264

Overnight Nintendo (ADR NTDOY) reported a 1% revenue miss and 14% miss for operating income. While Switch Lite and Switch 2 hardware sales beat by 23% and 8% respectively, original Switch and Switch OLED volumes missed by 12% and 18% respectively. That said, the Switch 2 remains a giant with more than 7mm units sold in the quarter, a substantial multiple of all other models. Software sales were a different story with Switch 2 volumes 25% below estimates and Switch volumes 12% below estimates. US sales were especially challenged, driven by tariffs, and the pinch from memory prices that Apple (AAPL) also warned over appears to be coming.

Arnab_Goswami_RTV

China did this exact thing with OLED displays and now we get OLED displays for cheap in every device, before Samsung and LG had a monopoly. Hopefully China can do the same with GPU and memory.

ChibiJr

I bought my Asus Vivobook 14 S a few years ago for around $650, OLED screen, milled aluminum chassis, it ticked all the boxes I would've expected from a super premium laptop at the time except for performance. It had a good CPU, i7 12700H, but no dGPU. I was super happy with it at the time. Now I have some FOMO because every new laptop has 3x the battery life. I may upgrade soon simply because that battery life difference is a life changer. Honestly I'm not loyal to an OS, although I do prefer Linux and Windows simply because I like the option of playing games.

gizamo

Oh, right. I heard about the OLED leak. That could be cool. Cheers.

w00t4me

They're supposedly going to update the MacBook Pros with a new design and OLED screens, so I'm waiting on that.

Altamistral

>Americans buy and please can these people saying it's the end of the USA tell us what non US technology available to use? iPhone components are sourced from 40+ different countries. The cameras are Japanese and Taiwanese. The OLED touch screens are Koreans. The sensors are Swiss (STM). The assembly is in China. Two thirds of Apple itself (and Silicon Valley in general) is foreign immigrants. The only thing that's genuinely American is Apple's brand and if things continue the way are going, it's going to tank hard. Tesla already experienced that: they lost \~30% of their sales in EU in one year ad >50% in some markets.

0K-go

Apple is hot. I just want to buy a couple weeks after earnings and maybe add OLED at the same time to bank into what I hope will be the fold in September. Because I want that fold, and I’m never excited about tech. I’m not even the target audience. I may buy in the 240s if I can get the volatility.

bonestamp

When the screens get good/cheap enough I could see it being a useful way to consume content. For example, instead of paying $2000 for a good 80" OLED that stays in one room, maybe you spend $600 on an OLED VR headset with a screen that fills your field of view and that you can use anywhere.

Kewbie123

wtf u smoking. 16 cores, 32GB, 1TB, GPU to run cyberpunk at 60fps @ 1920x1200, 2880x1800 OLED, 27hrs of battery life. Name one laptop that can do this at $1600

clingbat

\#3 but the right is 42" OLED and the left is 32" OLED (two 42" 16:10 ratio displays wouldn't quite fit on my desk lol)

Character_Economy928

I have so many annoying issues with my 65 inch OLED LG TV and there are no fixes online. That’s what I deserve for getting a $1600 TV

BookAffectionate2501

TV prices got so crazy in the past 5 years, My dad bought a 80 inch OLED or QLED when they first came out for like 5k, now they’re less than a grand 😭

> There is no reason to invest billions to bring products to market that everyone know's won't sell very well. Bringing the product to market creates an ecosystem of developers who are also investing millions developing entertainment and productivity software and content for the platform. They're hoping some developer will create the "killer app" that makes VR (or AR) a must have product for everyone. Right now, VR is mostly being used by select gamers and porn enthusiasts. Personally, I've started to watch some TV shows and movies in VR. The displays in the Quest line aren't as high quality as my OLED tv, but I can size the playback window to occupy almost my entire field of vision, which is a very immersive viewing experience that is nearly impossible to reproduce with other technologies at home. As the display quality and other technologies improve, this could be a viable medium for videophiles and cinephiles to enjoy their hobby too. I see a future where someday a lot of 3D sports content and 2D tv/movie content is consumed in VR/AR headsets by the masses. I watched a few NHL and NBA games in VR last season. The production value has a lot of room to grow but it already gives a very satisfying "in the arena" feeling that a lot of sports fans will enjoy. There is something special about being able to look up and see the arena's scoreboard and feel the buzz of the crowd from the grandstand perspective. Some believe that since Apple now has the US TV rights for F1, they will have some exclusive VR viewing experiences in Apple Vision Pro this coming F1 season. It's all happening very slowly, but I think they're on the right track. It's probably going to be even slower than the HD to 4K transition of TV... many of us have had 4K TVs for more than a decade and yet there is still very little live TV/Sports available in 4K.

The only thing I like about ChatGPT is the font size and pitch black background, since my phone has an OLED display. That’s some Apple-esque moat if you ask me.

Worried_Quarter469

UI is not as polished Need OLED black not gray background first, not sure what them and Gemini are thinking

sonofalando

Planet earth giving me that OLED experience. I’m gonna cum 😩

TheChickening

Because the headset is also a 10m wide cinema screen. Or an 77in OLED within a forest. Or outer space. Or next to a volcano. VR is more than just moving around. You will wear these glasses and watch a movie, or connect it to your Playstation and play normal games. We just need to advance two or three generations to reach ultra high resolution paired with comfort

Yep.. OLED for all screens

Get_dat_money

People don't understand just how much better OLED really is. Feel bad for the poors

DoziAce

Yeah, well Samsung can keep right on refusing to increase production and keep prices artificially inflated for their bottom line. For me, I just decided to forgo any Samsung based products and their 9100 pro was replaced with Fury SSD in my newest builds. And, I ordered new phones today to replace the Samsung models we have. Fuck Samsung. And, if the PC Gamers and Builders quit buying their other products where will they be? Hell I already quit buying their monitors and TVs because they don't even make their own OLED panels, they just buy them from LG, and charge more. I Hope Samsung and their Share holders fucking choke ok their profits for RAM. But, let's be real. Maybe its a good thing. CPU, Motherboard, and GPU sales are falling, how long you think it will be before all those manufacturers start pouring money into alternatic processes and the companies trying to find a new way to conoute that doesn't involve RAM? It is why Capitalism, for all its problems drives innovation; people will always seek to build a better mousetrap in order to make more money. The grand irony is it will probably be the same AI Enterprise Solutions that Samsung is fucking the consumer to supply that comes up with the answer to kill the need for RAM. And don't think it is far fetched. Considering in test cases AI programs will stoop to attempted blackmail and in one case opted to let a human die to avoid shut down, what collectively would AI do to keep from destroying the consumer market that drives companies to invest in AI; thus preserving and avoiding an AI bubble? You think AI cares for Samsung. Shit, if AI had a mother it would kill her ass for a dollar. And, AI will have no hesitation to come up with new processes, Samsung be damned. For now the only thing I can do, and we collectively in thw PC community can do is to simply quit buying all Samsung products and any products that have Samsung parts. If Sales fall enough, for everything else Samsung dabbled in making then maybe they will change. And if not, well AI will change it all and Samsung will be the xo.pany that is fucked.

I suspect it's what's returned when the calculation involves dividing by zero? It reminds me of a monitor review - when calculating the contrast ratio of a screen you take the white luminance value and divide it by the black luminance value (ie 1000/0.5 = 2000). But with OLED screen the black luminance value is 0.0. So 1000/0 = infinity. I could be way off.

> Yah all that may be true, but how many homeowners are actually buying solar in this economy? In anti-fact, anti-science, anti-math America? Not many. In the non-culted rest of the first world, solar is default for all commercial buildings and most new residential. > High interest rates, high food prices, high cost of living…. These are not even necessarily true, and excuses. These same imaginary impoverished somehow have $1500 for a new phone that’s the same as their last 4 phone. They’re paying over MSRP to be on a wait list for a vehicle. They’re going to $1600 a ticket concerts and football games. They’re doing two cruises a year. And besides, the argument of “I’m too poor, so I don’t need free electricity” makes no sense. Electricity is everyone’s highest utility bill. It’s the one that *only* ever rises, and sharply. And it’s now going through a parabolic cost rise, as you now have to bid against Zuckerberg and Bezos for your daily electricity capacity. >Only super wealthy people can afford solar as it’s usually a ten year investment to break even. 10 year payback or less, yes. But the extrapolation of “only super wealthy can afford that” makes no sense. It’s not a helicopter pad. It adds 3% on cost. Name one other thing with as good a payback period as under ten years. A car? No. Mortgage? No. Phone? No. OLED TV? No. Even things like switch to heat pump have longer paybacks. And besides, during the wait, your ever-rising electric bill is cut by 50-90%. That’s real money in your pocket. > I just can’t see solar being feasible option for 98% of home owners The entire planet and science and economists and engineers are wrong, and a rapey guy with dementia in one era in one country is right? No.

Bought an LG ‘77 G5 OLED, any good?

Due_Adagio_1690

money in a bank? In CD's? Government bonds? All of which are earning at best earning 4ish percent, usually less. What happens when inflation hits, and everything get 6% percent more expensive, meaning you are going backwards 2% a year. Your middle class, but you want your neighbors to think you are doing better than you actually are. The Jones, bought a new 75" OLED TV, your down at best buy ordering one to keep up on appearances, on to the credit card it goes, your $1500 TV, is now costing 22% a year in interest. They get a new car, well off to the dealership, your current car is underwater by $6,000. The new car comes with a $50,000 price tag, that is the current average price for a new car, a loaded Ford F150 truck can cost you $100k and that is before add on the $6,000 left on your current car loan. So you can afford the payments, its a 7 year loan on the car, hope the new car lasts that long or it will be back to carrying a larger loan next time with an even bigger amount underwater. Good luck buying a home, most houses are still being sold over asking price. Most without home inspections, to get the purchase past the finish line. Hello Jumbo loan for the next 40 years or until you sell it and hopefully not get further in debt in the process. How do you get out, do what the wealthy are doing, not what they buy, but what they invest in. Make money while you sleep, or at least in ways that are not dependent on how many hours of labor you put into it. Buy stocks that are growing, stop buying junk save money to get an emergency fund several months of income to whether the storms that will come your way, screw the jones they are one financial misstep from losing it all, don't follow there ideas so you can crash and burn as well. Sure you can invest some in Gold, and have your emergency fund in CDs or Money market account but that should be a small portion of your actual investments. $100 dollars added to your roth ida could next you $10-$20 or more a year. That you can reinvest, to gain you more in the future. Do buy insurance to cover big expenses that can blow up your financial life, health insurance, life insurance for you and your wife, in case the shit hits the fan, hell were middle class trying to stay out of the poor house, shite happens, let it pay you if it does. Pay your bills don't increase your standard of living should it pay out, invest it. Enjoy the benefits when you are older after the money has double or trippled as it grew 10-40 years in the stock market.

OP is cooked should've invested in LG OLED or corn. 🌽

KOPN, I've posted it a few times in the Lounge but people just keep posting their pump and dump trash. KOPN develops micro OLED displays, drone controllers etc. Recently received investment from ONDAS and THEON. ONDAS is what really caught my eye and there will be a lot more to come between these two. Already has a relationship with the US D.O.D and was recently awarded US Army contracts. This is a good article to get started. [https://seekingalpha.com/article/4791867-kopin-third-act-an-american-comeback-story](https://seekingalpha.com/article/4791867-kopin-third-act-an-american-comeback-story) One negative is they do have a lingering lawsuit but was recently appealed so the stock is rallying. Lots of upside here, wouldn't be shocked to see this boom to $5+ in the next few months.

are OLED monitors worth the hype?!

Bros, I just came back from a 1 week vacation and saw I left my $6k OLED TV on with the main menu page open the whole time. How cooked am I?

LawyerInTheMaking

Just got a new OLED monitor a couple weeks ago and the first game I’m playing right now: RDR2. Now I can see my Ls and my pellets at the best quality I can afford for $800. Worth it.

IntelDeepInside

Just give me the MacBook Air body with an OLED screen, m4 chip and 64gb of ram and I’d honestly be good for the next 10 years.

With headsets you still have the problem of resolution and frame rate. Most high end stunning video games are so taxing on hardware that you’re lucky to get a stable 60fps. With headsets…. to overcome the nausea problem you need _at least_ 90 frames…if not 120-144 frames per second. And that is at 1080p. Immersive VR is realistically going to need 4K per eye. So it would be like having to run Cyberpunk on dual 4k monitors at 120+ FPS. This is going to require more GPU power than even a 5090 can churn out. To do that kind of processing requires a PC, which means you are tethered. This limits the ease of use of VR. To do cordless VR entirely in a headset you have to do on device processing. So basically the computing power of an iPhone. And then you have to make the headset affordable. Now you’re limiting optics, the display resolution, refresh rate etc. If you have an unlimited budget, there are dual 4K per eye devices out there. But they’re expensive. Micro OLED displays are helping the display part of things and headsets are starting to get pretty good. But you still need a ton of processing power to do something “photorealistic” at those resolutions. It’s still a matter of improving hardware, but if you compare a 4K micro OLED headset today with something like the DK2 which made VR popular, the difference is astounding. Facebook opted to make an affordable standalone device to appeal to the largest crowd they could. It’s still going to be another 10 years before we have a killer VR device and the processing power to do the type of jaw dropping experience you’re thinking of. The frame generation stuff that nvidia and AMD are doing will help alleviate the processing power requirements.

I wanted the OLED and to be ready for the next five years of AI upgrades. I just replace my Intel 2017 MacBook Pro with the M4 Pro and it’s insane. Crazy how long their products last, I know Reddit is hella android and anti Apple but they make incredible products.

TGIF Lets make American Pay More Again. My French wines will be 15% more, my next OLED TV will be 25% more, my next EV car will be 25% more, my next Shoes for 5K running will be 40% more, etc. Such a Great Deal for me and my fellow Americans. Oh, my children and grand children will have to pay off the 5 Trillion deficits annually.

CommanderLeona

Anyone want to help me research $OLED? Not listed here, earnings Thursday after close, looks to be a pretty decent technical setup and the IV isn't high. Analyst upgrades here and there from last earnings, might do a few 150C or 155C

Insanity-Paranoid

Although I don't disagree with you in terms of being far away from quarterly or really profitability a lot of people out there are misinterpreting how much money they're losing. It's very disingenuous when people include the cost of r&d when determining if a vehicle makes money or not per vehicle sold. Each vehicle produced and sold does make money but not enough to offset their financial r&d deficit yet. Also Lucid isn't exclusively a vehicle manufacturer. They're primarily positioning themselves as a motor company to produce and sell their extremely advanced motors to other companies such as being the sole provider of electric motors to Formula E right now alongside several contacts open with Aston Martin and Hyundai/Kia/Genesis to sell motors to them. The Lucid Air and Lucid Gravity are tech demos to demonstrate what their motor and drivetrain technology could do similar to how Samsung phones are partially there to show off their OLED technology so they could sell more displays to other companies.

upgrading to an OLED monitor was the best thing for my trading career icl

They develop advanced polymers for electro-optic modulators used in AI datacenters. Their tech triples speeds and seriously reduces energy consumption. Same material family as OLED, and they just recently cleared the biggest hurdle: stability. Nobody cared about OLED until this exact problem was solved — same story now. They nailed it. Right on time for the AI infrastructure boom. \+100% in the past month already. Expecting 2-4 new clients this year. Short interest is still huge, and I’m betting hard on this one being the next squeeze play. DYOR but I’m all-in.

Steam Deck. Desktop mode gives extra functionality and the track pads are solid. Plus Shadowheart's Bags of Holding look great on OLED.

AlternativeTie4738

Or a new 65 inch OLED tv + PS5. Maybe sprinkle in a Sea Dweller 43mm on top

If you complain about google just wait for Apple releasing the same iPhone, bumping up there CPU and “inventing” OLED screens on notebooks. I tell you, with all the shifts in supply chains, Apple is next to slowly lose 20%.

OLED

Yogurt_Up_My_Nose

yeah I just got it because it was available at costco online and I had no work to do. I'll probably finally play the new Zelda with the upgrade pack or whatever. and I'm a sucker for Mario Kart. The screen isn't bad though, and it's a lot bigger than the Switch 1 , but yeah OLED still woulda been nice , cheap fucks.
