Sony OLED digital TV


Get ready for the OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) TV - another major innovation from Sony. Having the model number: XEL-1, it is an industry first. Many industry experts predict that it will soon replace the LCD and plasma screen technologies.

Coming back to the TV, the display panel is only 3 mm thick (or should I say thin) and weighs only 1.9 kg. Though I haven't tested it out yet, reviews say that the picture quality is amazing - unlike anything we have seen before.

You can now buy the XEL-1 for $2,499.99 on the Sony Style online store. However, Engadget reports that it is available for a lower price at $1748 at Sam's club.

OLED will be the next big thing. A computer with flexible screen is in the making. Soon, all advertisement boards will be OLED screen.

I saw it a few months ago in austria during an home cinema event - the picture was quite amazing...

...on the hdtv source - unfortunately they were not able to switch to annother source - so it is hard to say what the thing can or not...

the most interesting thing will be the length of the lifetime...

Only 3mm! That's insane! Back in the day, you couldn't have anything less than around 500mm thick, and now look at us. Also, the name Organic Light Emitting Diode sounds amazing in itself.
