rAVe HomeAV Edition — Volume 20, Issue 11

June 7, 2023 | Volume: 20 | Issue: 11

Lee Distad writes about how to temper the need to win. Sometimes it’s not enough to simply close a deal — the ego demands someone come out on top. But is that always great for business and for you?

Gary Kayye also writes a column this time about how LG Display will supply high-end TV panels to Samsung Electronics. What is this about and what does it mean for both brands? Check it out here.

This is the last you’ll hear from me before InfoComm, #AVtweeps. So I hope you’ll register using code “RAVE,” and I’ll see you there. If not, I hope to see you during our rePLAY InfoComm event June 27-29, 1-4 p.m. EDT.

P.S. We’ve announced the winners of our 2023 rAVe Readers’ Choice Awards! Check them out here.

COLUMNS

+ Tempering The Need To Win [Lee Distad]

“It’s not enough for me to win; others must lose.” That’s when it’s not enough to close the deal; your ego demands that you come out on top, triumphant. Just remember that when it’s your ego talking to you, it often lies. Being triumphant may not always end up meeting your own best interests, believe it or not.

+ LG Display to Supply High-End TV Panels to Samsung Electronics — What Does This Mean? [Gary Kayye]

In a wild twist of fate, Reuters is reporting that, “South Korea’s LG Display Co Ltd (034220.KS) will start supplying high-end TV panels to Samsung Electronic Co Ltd (005930.KS) from as early as this quarter, three sources said, in a deal that would help the loss-making flat-screen maker turn profitable.” Well, what do we have here? It’s all about BLACK. The truth is that other than LEDs, no other direct-view display technology delivers black-black, than OLED.
