chucky2 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 The solution to LCD tech 'black glow' is to use OLED as the TV world has done for the last short few years now. The drawback is unlike LCD tech, OLED can suffer burn-in, which isn't good when for years on end you have the same buttons in the same position on the screen. It also is not as bright as LCD...not sure if that's an issue for full sun viewing. MicroLCD (or is it MicroLED?) is being looked at by at least one manufacturer, which might get us the best of both worlds, however it's no where near prime time (for non-automotive use at that) so it'll be a while before the perfect solution is found...

No no no, you got it all wrong..... this is all part of GM's master plan, 1. Build ugly Silverados 2. Force GM buyers into better looking and more expensive Sierras 3. in the meantime, $10K-$15K on the hood should clear up any misconceptions.... So far, Ford and FCA have been completely duped and outmaneuvered...... All designed to distract form recent plant closures and massive increase in Mexican production (and before anyone jumps in to correct me, I'm taking sarcasm to another level...)
