engadget.com — Sony is finally ready to move an OLED TV into production sometime "within 2007." Sorry, it's not the 27-incher, yet, their first production unit will throw 1024 x 600 pixels across that wee 11-inch, 1M:1 contrast panel capable of 8-bit RGB color and covering more than 100% of the NTSC color gamut. Oh, and it's only 3-mm thick.

no it won't, not at 1024x600 resolution.

You're forgetting that there's no standard way to measure contrast ratio. They basically just invent numbers.

@Osjpr:It is a new technology and they are making headway on expanding how long the displays will last. Give it time and they will definitely be a very solid rival for LCD. The significantly lower production cost and energy consumption alone make it very promising for laptops and phone displays. Everyone is replacing those every 2-3 years anyways.I am not familiar with the components in the OLED displays. Does anyone know if they are more toxic than what is currently in LCD (mercury), Plasma (xenon and neon gas) or CRT (you don't even want to know, let's just say don't ever break one open)

What a terrible design, it looks like its about to eat me.

Imagine the nightblindness and slamming into a deer from it.

i disagree with digging down mywhitenoise. 5 hours a day of watching a tv screen (for entertainment of course) is excessive. There's a whole world outside your home, and an awful lot of more worthwhile things to see and do. I should know, I'm stuck with ME, but I still make myself go outside and enjoy the world (traveling, cycling, swimming etc)

why would you need special content to benefit from the improved colour accuracy, contrast ratio and viewing angles? they're simply less destructive than current panels

@ub3rMy bad. It is 525, but the last 45 or so aren't used in the image, they're used for various other aspects of picture quality. If you hook an SDTV to a computer via S-Video, the resolution is very close, or identical to 480x360. My mistake.
