OLED SCREEN

Although I'm quite happy with our new Beoviasion 8's, I thought some of the members might find the Sony XEL-1 interesting.
Quite thin, HDMI ( but no Ethernet )

Thanks for the post. I am interested in this new technology. Best wishes.

OLED very interesting..... it doesnt need glass and a flexible plastic substrate can be used for the display- so when production ramps up= very cheap to make in time!
The problem is that at present blue organics have a full life of approx 14K hours ( plamsa is 60K even to half life and lcd much more)
So disadvantage is cost, lifetime at the present and the technologies very speedy move to half life- giving reduced brightness and a yellow tinge- buying one now will result in buying another very soon!
Very small size but it is just a matter of time before there will be big televisions in Oled :-)
Don't you think that for $2.5k it should have more HDMI ports? Are those HDMIs 1.3? If not, they should be. Does it support surround sound? If not, there should be a module, I think. Otherwise Sony is dead in the water.
The life time of a oled screen is very short (at this moment)!
