An OLED Screen Could Make the iMac Relevant Again
Over the last few generations, Apple’s all-in-one desktop has languished with repeat refreshes that have left it sinking into obscurity. Korean news site The Elec (via MacRumors and read with machine translation) reports that Apple may be working with LG to source a new 27-inch penta-tandem OLED display for its next iMacs. According to The Elec’s unnamed supply chain sources, the screen would also employ the latest RGB strip technology, which helps reduce fuzziness around text that you can sometimes get on OLED screens.
