OLED

What's that you say?

This week at CES 2008 Sony and Samsung displayed their much ballyhoo'd first gen Organic light-emitting diode TV's with Sony to be the first to the US market this month with 11 inches of goodness for $2,500.

'What's the big deal' you say?
  • OLED screens are only 3mm thick
  • Contrast ratio is 1,000,000 to 1. (Comparitively, the market leading Pioneer Kuros LCD has a contrast ratio of about 15,000/20,000 to 1.)
  • Very deep blacks
  • Bright colors
  • Excellent response times with a clear blur free picture

Samsung and Sony also displayed prototype 31 & 27 inchers as well. Hopefully we'll see these at the local Best Buy soon.

Stay tuned!
