过去几年,我们经常被问一个问题:音频这个媒介有什么独特优势?我们一般会这么回答:在耳边说话更能入脑入心,也更适合长时间一心二用的场景。这话当然没错,但背后一个更大的事实是:大多数时间,我们还是通过眼睛来获取信息。而很多时候,眼睛可以约等于一个硬件——屏幕。屏幕是我们当代生活的“基础设施”,它覆盖了我们的日常生活,同时,消费电子产品对屏幕的依赖程度和要求也都越来越高。但大多数人不了解的是,屏幕——或者准确地说,显示面板——这个行业,其实是一个非常残酷的行业。它重资产、有周期,并且有着残酷的技术迭代节奏,你可能投入数百亿元才能拿到入场券,且仍有可能赔本。而本期节目的主角TCL,在2009年毅然投身于此。在此之前,它更有名的身份是“彩电大王”,但行业的残酷现状让TCL创始人、董事长李东生决定从终端产品向上转型,生产屏幕这个核心零部件。如今TCL通过TCL实业、TCL科技两个产业集团,核心业务已扩展到了智能终端、半导体显示和新能源光伏,更是屏幕行业的巨头之一。从造好一块屏幕到定义一块好屏,这条转型之路或许能帮助我们理解究竟何为“长期主义”——背后往往需要精准的选择和极致的执行。感谢TCL对本期节目的支持。| 主播 |肖文杰、约小亚| 时间轴 |00:33 全球每年生产的屏幕有3-4亿平方米04:25 什么叫卡脖子,这就叫卡脖子07:35 转型做屏幕一旦失败,之前20多年全部抹平11:13 你必须正确预判三年后消费者需要什么样的屏幕14:10 面对先发优势,如何寻找突破口17:54 Mini LED,TCL找到的最优解26:25 OLED时代还要选择:用什么生产方式?34:32 AI时代的屏幕,会是什么样的?| 延伸资料 |液晶 VS 等离子大战这是上世纪末到2000年代初的“平板电视之战”。当时全球彩电行业正从笨重的CRT显像管过渡到“平板时代”,谁能主导新技术,谁就能拿下未来十年的电视市场。液晶电视(LCD)和等离子电视(PDP)互相竞争,代表了两种完全不同的显示原理:等离子屏通过让气体放电产生等离子体,再激发荧光粉发光,色彩鲜艳、对比度高、响应速度快;液晶屏则靠液晶分子在电场控制下改变透光率,再配合背光源显示画面,亮度高、能耗低。 最终液晶胜出,原因是成本更低、寿命更长、能耗更小,且容易做成小尺寸产品。到2010年前后,等离子几乎全面退出市场。 也因此,押注等离子的日本企业(如松下、夏普等)在面板行业逐渐式微,押注液晶的三星、LG等企业至今仍是面板行业的领先者。而包括TCL在内的中国企业在这个过程中也逐渐积累液晶面板的技术实力。LCD(Liquid Crystal Display,液晶显示)液晶屏是一种“光阀技术”,液晶本身不会发光,它像百叶窗一样,通过电信号控制光线是否通过。背后有一层背光模组提供白光,前方则是由液晶层、彩色滤光片和偏光片组成的结构。LCD 的优势是成熟、便宜、亮度高、功耗低,广泛用于电视、显示器和手机;缺点是对比度和响应速度有限,黑色不够纯。更关键的是,不够轻便。OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode,有机发光二极管)与LCD不同,OLED 是自发光技术:每个像素都能自己发光,不需要背光源。它的优点包括:l 黑色纯粹,对比度极高(因为像素能完全关闭);l 屏幕更薄、更柔性,可以做成曲面或可折叠屏;l 响应速度快,适合高端影像或游戏显示。缺点是寿命有限(特别是蓝光像素),且成本高、烧屏风险存在。OLED 蒸镀法蒸镀法是目前主流高端 OLED 屏幕(尤其是智能手机)采用的生产工艺,主要由日本的 Canon Tokki 公司设备垄断。它的流程可以理解为在真空腔里“蒸出一层极薄的光”。以下是核心原理:先在玻璃或柔性塑料基板上形成电极等底层结构;然后把红、绿、蓝三种有机发光材料放入蒸镀源中,加热到它们汽化;在真空状态下,材料分子像“烟雾”一样沉积到基板上,形成极薄的发光层;通过高精度金属掩膜版(Fine Metal Mask, FMM)来“印”出每个像素的位置和颜色。蒸镀法精度高,能实现极细微的像素结构,是现阶段高 PPI 手机屏的主流选择;但掩膜需要极高精度加工,成本昂贵,且难以做得足够大,所以蒸镀法不适合生产大尺寸电视;此外,材料利用率极低——只有约 30% 的有机材料能真正沉积到屏幕上,其余都浪费在真空腔壁上;因此,这是一种昂贵但成熟、适合小尺寸高端产品的工艺。目前三星和LG仍是蒸镀路线的主导者。OLED印刷法印刷法是另一种OLED制造思路,被视为下一代低成本解决方案,可适用于全尺寸。它像喷墨打印机一样,把有机发光材料“喷”到基板上,形成图案。优点是材料浪费少、成本低、适合全尺寸产品;缺点是供应链不成熟,材料、设备开发成本高。TCL华星是全球最积极推动印刷OLED技术的企业之一。一块屏幕的主要参数一块显示屏的“好坏”,通常由以下几项核心参数决定:l 分辨率(Resolution):画面像素的多少,越高越清晰。l 刷新率(Refresh Rate):每秒画面更新次数,影响流畅度,游戏屏幕常见120Hz、240Hz。l 对比度(Contrast Ratio):最亮与最暗的亮度比,越高越“通透”。l 亮度(Brightness):屏幕发光强度,单位是nits,户外可读性关键指标。l 色域(Color Gamut):能显示的颜色范围,如sRGB、DCI-P3,越广越鲜艳。l 响应时间(Response Time):像素由亮变暗的速度,越短越不拖影。《万物生生》,秦朔、戚德志著,中信出版社,2021年晚点LatePost,《印刷OLED屏幕正式量产,TCL 华星的11年开发历程》经济观察报,《赢家在上游:谁在定义一块“电竞好屏”?》《商业就是这样》鼓起勇气开设听友群啦。欢迎添加节目同名微信,加入听友群,一起讨论有意思的商业现象。微信号:thatisbiz为了营造更好的讨论环境,我们准备了两个小问题,请在添加微信后回答:1,你最喜欢《商业就是这样》的哪期节目?为什么?2,你希望听到《商业就是这样》聊哪个话题?期待与你交流!| 后期制作 |kk| 声音设计 |刘三菜| 收听方式 |你可以通过小宇宙、苹果播客、Spotify、喜马拉雅、网易云音乐、QQ 音乐、荔枝、豆瓣等平台收听节目。| 认识我们 |微信公众号:第一财经 YiMagazine联系我们:thatisbiz@yicai.com

In this talk, Jogen reflects on what it means to protect the innate brightness of the heart-mind. He describes this luminosity not as a metaphor for “choosing happiness,” but as a living reality that shines through when the shrouds of distraction, anxiety, resentment, and tribalized thinking are set aside. Drawing from personal stories, contemporary struggles, and the wisdom of Zen practice, Jogen explores how meditation, ethical behavior, and stepping outside the “flock” of busyness and opinion can safeguard this transcendent okayness. The invitation is to discover and continually uncover the bright mind that is already present, intimate, and sustaining.This talk was given on September 17th 2025 at Heart of Wisdom Zen Temple. ★ Support this podcast ★

On this week's show we take a look at the Longevity Burn-In Test Results From 100 TVs that RTINGS.com has been tracking for the last two years. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: I spent three months with Telly, the free TV that's always showing ads Ring announces 4K doorbell with Alexa+ AI greetings and new Search Party feature for pets 33 Years Ago Today Cartoon Network Premieres: A Milestone in Animation History NBCUniversal Shuts Down Its Cable Network Apps on Roku TVs & Roku Players To Promote Peacock Other: Is Google TV's New Interface Better? Full Redesign Review Sports on TV Today: Where to Watch or Stream Games - Sports Media Watch Longevity Burn-In Test Updates And Results From 100 TVs RTINGS.com has been conducting an accelerated longevity test for over two years. We've covered it periodically but haven't provided an update recently. In today's show, we'll summarize the key findings and discuss their implications for consumers. 1. Introduction to the Test Methodology and Purpose RTINGS.com conducts an extensive longevity and burn-in test on over 100 TVs to assess their durability under real-world usage conditions. The purpose is to evaluate how modern displays, particularly OLED and LED models, hold up over time, focusing on issues like image retention and permanent burn-in that can degrade picture quality. The methodology involves running TVs for thousands of hours in a simulated accelerated aging scenario, including static content like CNN tickers, sports scores, and video games to mimic common usage patterns that risk burn-in. Tests are performed in a controlled environment at 50% brightness (except for high-end OLEDs at 100% for stress testing), with periodic photo documentation and measurements of uniformity, color accuracy, and brightness retention. This ongoing project, started in 2019, aims to provide data-driven insights into TV lifespan beyond short-term reviews. 2. Key Results and Findings The test has yielded detailed observations on burn-in susceptibility across various TV brands and panel types, with over 18,000 hours of cumulative runtime as of the latest update. Here's an expanded breakdown: OLED Performance and Burn-In Incidence: OLED TVs, known for perfect blacks but vulnerable to burn-in from static elements, showed mixed results. The LG C8 (2018 model) exhibited permanent burn-in after just 8,850 hours, with visible CNN ticker ghosts in dark scenes, marking it as one of the earliest failures. In contrast, the LG G4 (2024) and Sony A95L (2023) QD-OLEDs remained burn-in free after 5,000+ hours, though minor temporary image retention appeared in high-stress tests. The Samsung S95B QD-OLED burned in after 9,000 hours, displaying HUD elements from racing games, while the LG G2 showed no permanent damage after 14,000 hours but had noticeable retention. LED and Mini-LED Durability: LED TVs generally fared better against burn-in. The TCL QM8 QLED (2023) and Hisense U8/U8N (2024) showed no burn-in after 5,000–7,000 hours, with only temporary retention in extreme cases. However, the Samsung QN90A (2021) developed subtle uniformity issues after 10,000 hours, but no true burn-in. Budget LEDs like the Hisense A6G lasted without issues up to 12,000 hours. Brightness and Color Degradation: Across all panels, brightness dropped by 20–50% over 10,000+ hours; for example, the LG CX lost 40% peak brightness. Color accuracy shifted slightly, with OLEDs maintaining better DeltaE scores (

On this week's show we look at an article from What Hi-Fi titled “I just tested one of 2025's best small OLEDs – and it proves most companies are focusing on the wrong thing”. And that thing is brightness. We look at what would make a perfect TV. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Major TV streaming service abruptly hikes prices 33% Everything you need to know about new ESPN streamer You Don't Actually Own That Movie You Just “Bought.” Brightness Isn't Everything We saw an article over at What Hi-Fi titled “I just tested one of 2025's best small OLEDs – and it proves most companies are focusing on the wrong thing” and thought there is a lot of truth to what the author is saying. So today will expand on this article with the HT Guys take.  The author argues that TV manufacturers like LG, Samsung, and Sony focus too much on making OLED TVs brighter to compete with Mini LED sets. After testing 2025's top small OLED TVs, he believes brightness isn't the key to a great viewing experience. Instead, authenticity, color accuracy, and balanced performance are more important for delivering a cinematic experience true to the director's vision. Here are six takeaways from the article: The Brightness Obsession: A Misguided Priority? The What Hi-Fi? article criticizes the TV industry's focus on maximizing brightness, which can harm picture quality. In tests comparing 48-inch OLEDs (LG C5, Samsung S90F, Panasonic Z90B), brighter screens often lost subtle details and immersion. For instance, in Dune: Part Two's desert scene, an overly bright TV turned nuanced red and orange dune shades into stark white, flattening the image. OLED TVs were historically dimmer than LED TVs, but new tech like Micro Lens Array and QD-OLED has boosted their brightness to 2000-3000 nits, closing the gap. However, the focus on brightness often overshadows OLED's strengths—precise light control, deep blacks, and vibrant colors. The What Hi-Fi? review notes that manufacturers prioritize specs over overall picture quality, while the Panasonic Z90B shows a better balance. The Panasonic Z90B: A Lesson in Balance The 48-inch Panasonic Z90B excels in cinematic authenticity, prioritizing accurate colors and contrast over exaggerated brightness. In Civil War, it delivers precise highlights in dark scenes, and in Oppenheimer, it maintains natural skin tones and subtle details in low light, outperforming competitors that lose color depth. Panasonic's approach aligns with what serious movie fans crave: a picture that immerses you in the story, not one that distracts with exaggerated brightness. The Z90B's ability to retain detail in both bright and dark scenes, like the sparkling desert dunes or the intricate chandelier in a White House scene, shows that controlled brightness—used only where needed—creates a more three-dimensional, authentic image. This echoes sentiments from TechRadar, which praises Panasonic's focus on “filmmaker-approved” accuracy over flashy specs, a philosophy rooted in the brand's collaboration with Hollywood colorists to tune its TVs for true-to-life visuals. The Small OLED Advantage: Why Size Matters Small OLEDs, like the 48-inch models tested, are often overlooked in a market obsessed with supersized screens. Yet, as What Hi-Fi? notes, these TVs are “severely underrated” for their versatility. They're ideal for space-constrained homes, secondary rooms like bedrooms, or even as high-end gaming monitors thanks to their dense pixel structure, which delivers sharper images. The LG C5, for instance, boasts four HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 4K/144Hz gaming, making it a powerhouse for both movies and interactive entertainment. However, small OLEDs face unique challenges. Their denser pixel layouts generate more heat, which can limit brightness and risk burn-in if not managed properly. What Hi-Fi? suggests that adding heatsinks, as seen in some larger models, could unlock more brightness headroom for 42- and 48-inch sets without sacrificing quality. This could make small OLEDs even more competitive, offering flagship-level performance in compact packages. The Audio Achilles' Heel One glaring flaw across all tested OLEDs—LG C5, Samsung S90F, and even the Z90B—is their underwhelming built-in audio. The LG C5's 2.2-channel 40W speakers sounded flat and centralized, while the Samsung S90F's 2.1.2 60W system lacked power, allowing testers to hold conversations at max volume. What Hi-Fi? is blunt: for a true home cinema experience, a separate soundsystem is non-negotiable. We have been saying this for a number of years now, TVs, especially smaller ones, prioritize aesthetics over speaker space. What Manufacturers Should Learn The author tested 2025 OLED TVs and found that brightness isn't everything. LG and Samsung make great TVs like the C5 and S90F, but Panasonic's Z90B stands out by using brightness carefully to improve contrast and depth. Panasonic's Z95B flagship prioritizes performance over a super-slim design, a choice the author supports.  Afterall, a three-inch-thick TV is still about 90% thinner than our first rear projection HDTVs of the same screen size. What Hi-Fi? emphasizes that 48-inch models like the Z90B and C5 are “Goldilocks” options—cinematic yet practical for most homes. Manufacturers should invest in optimizing these sizes, incorporating technologies like heatsinks to boost performance and addressing audio shortcomings with better built-in solutions or seamless soundbar integration. The Future of OLED: A Balanced Approach Looking ahead, the TV landscape is evolving. Emerging technologies like PHOLED and “true” QLED promise even brighter, more vibrant displays without the burn-in risks of traditional OLEDs. But brightness alone won't win over cinephiles. The future of TVs lies in balancing these advancements with authenticity, ensuring that MicroLED or next-gen OLED panels prioritize cinematic immersion over raw specs. For now, the Panasonic Z90B sets a high bar. Its “as the director intended” philosophy proves that a TV doesn't need to be the brightest to be the best. If manufacturers shift their focus to color accuracy, controlled contrast, and practical features like better audio and small-screen optimization, they'll deliver what viewers truly want: a window into the filmmaker's vision, not a spotlight that blinds it.

First off...the legislation came into force recently but was enacted some time ago (26 October 2023) under the Conservative Government but time was given for tech companies to react and for the body charged with enforcing it (Ofcom) to get its act together. As such it should be Michelle Donelan who is the target for the ire as Peter Kyle can only deal with what has been legislated. I would contend that Gareth is guilty of shooting the messenger here. Turning to age verification and the bit about a Government ID system...off the top of my head I can think of at least 5 Government Departments where I am already uniquely identified....by NI Number, Driver's Licence Number, Passport Number, UTR (Unique Taxpayer Reference), National Health Number. None of the departments/systems seem to talk to each other (except that there is a link between Passport and Driving Licence systems for the sharing of pictures) and each stores the same information about me. Given that everyone is given a NI number around the time of their 16th birthday this would seem to be the logical place for any age verification call to be made. But then again when has logic applied to anything that gets done in this country. Ian Barton on Rclone A kind of super powerful version of rsync. A command-line programme to manage files on cloud storage. It is a feature-rich alternative to cloud vendors' web storage interfaces. Over 70 cloud storage products support rclone including S3 object stores, business and consumer file storage services - as well as standard transfer protocols. Rclone has powerful cloud equivalents to the unix commands rsync, cp, mv, mount, ls, ncdu, tree, rm, and cat. Rclone's familiar syntax includes shell pipeline support, and --dry-run protection. It is used at the command line, in scripts or via its API. Users call rclone "The Swiss army knife of cloud storage" and "Technology indistinguishable from magic". I use it to download all my documents and photos to a server at home, which makes sure there are at least two backups of every document (there are two computers that each have a backup). Because rclone has so many options it can be difficult at the start. However, some Googling will usually find a script that does what you want. AJ Santos on YouTube now second only to BBC as media destination YouTube has become the UK's second most-watched media service, behind only the BBC, according to Ofcom's annual report. 20% of Generation Alpha - aged four to 15 - turn to YouTube first when switching on their SmartTV.

Many have viewed O'Keeffe's abstract oil paintings as erotic. She blithely dismissed those assumptions in her lifetime. And while her work was praised by women artists and second wave American feminists as proof of their own potential, she refused that identification. Her work was her work and her accomplishments were her accomplishments. She did not want to lead or represent anyone but herself. Known as the mother of American modernism, film directors Paul and Ellen Wagner say that Georgia O'Keeffe has been treated as a myth. Their documentary Georgia O'Keeffe: the Brightness of Light brings her to life in all of her complexities. Later in the show: Do you ever find yourself humming a favorite nursery rhyme to yourself or recalling a fairy tale to get through a tough time? Margaret Meehan says there's a more sinister side to the classics. She remixes and explores those stories in her ceramic work to ask who were we taught to fear? To respect? How were we taught to be? And: Along the Roanoke River Greenway, cardinals, songsparrows and American redstarts are chirping their late Spring tune. Through her watercolor wildlife portraits, Lucinda Rowe captures the spectacular mundane of the local ecosystem.
