Is this like the microLED announcements that keep hitting saying "Any day now" for commercial viability? Or just some startup company trying to get bought up by LG/Samsung/Sony?

I'm betting on the second option.

A cutting edge start up out of the mid-west with display technology that has both military and civilian applications........

Jordan Belfort wants to sell you some of their stock before it's too late!

My 42" LG C3 can already sear my eyeballs.

I don't think I need anything brighter.

I would welcome greater assurances of no image retention though, and I imagine if these screens can be run at that level of brightness, they must be more resistant to image retention at lower settings.

Micro LED will be replacing OLED. It's just superior in every way. You can buy one now if you have the money. Remember when Plasma first came out? It was stupid expensive for even a 42" panel. Then large format LCD with LED full array was the next big thing that was stupid expensive. Then OLED. They're pushing OLED to it's limit in terms of brightness and performance. Not much headroom left for improvement.

Give it time. Once the manufacturing is perfected it'll become mainstream.

Oh I remember. It's "any day now", not entirely vaporware.

Heck, OLED still isn't quite there yet, but it's getting close.
