>> this is not an easy task and so explains why lcd's as of now display truer colors

OLEDs have better color gamut and contrast than LCDs (without local dimming), making the colors better than LCDs.

OLEDs have larger color gamut, but larger is not always better.

“The Color Gamut is not only much larger than the Standard Color Gamut, which leads to distorted and exaggerated colors, but the Color Gamut is quite lopsided, with Green being a lot more saturated than Red or Blue, which adds a Green color caste to many images. Samsung has not bothered to correct or calibrate their display colors to bring them into closer agreement with the Standard sRGB / Rec.709 Color Gamut, so many images appear over saturated and gaudy.”http://www.displaymate.com/Smartphone_ShootOut_2.htm

what i meant to explain was, this.. the LED's fade over time. hence their color changes over time. and making two LED's display the same color and making them time equally is a very challenging job, some thing which current day technology is unable to do. yes, led's have a bigger color gamut, but the accuracy is definitely to b improved. gamut is the range, while accuracy is the exact color required i.e precision
