As a home entertainment gadget enthusiast, the price point for these new panels is starting to rapidly decrease! While I just bought another new OLED screen, my next screen in a few years is likely to be one of those post-OLED panels 
RGB mini-LED is compelling because ditching the color filter can buy you real brightness and color volume, without OLED burn-in anxiety.

Dropping the color filter is basically free brightness, and it should help reds and blues stay punchy when the highlights get loud.
I’m still watching for ugly halos and panel uniformity once they start driving those mini-LED zones at full tilt.

Yeah, losing the color filter should also cut some wavelength crosstalk, so you get cleaner saturation at high APL instead of that “washed neon” look when the backlight ramps. The real tell will be whether their local dimming algorithm can keep zone transitions smooth without tint shifts in near-black.

What is APL?
APL means Average Picture Level. It’s how bright the whole image is on average, so a mostly white scene has high APL, and a dark scene with small bright spots has low APL.

Good quick definition, and it’s why mini‑LED sets often look brightest in low‑APL scenes since the backlight can push small highlights harder without lighting up the whole screen.
