- j3ff86, on 04/20/2009, -1/+19You mean LED backlit LCD's?
1) True black levels, no local dimming nonsense and zero bleed.
2) Almost 0ms response time.
3) Viewable from any angle and maintains the image.
4) Better colors than any LCD panel type (including IPS). - inactive, on 04/20/2009, -1/+14OLED doesn't require a backlight, so it requires much less power and can be built much thinner. LED TVs are just like regular LCD TVs, but with a LCD backlight instead of a traditional fluorescent backlight.
- anexanhume, on 04/20/2009, -0/+12To expand on what is said above.
5) At capacity, OLED will be cheaper to produce than LCD
6) The display technology allows for even thinner, lighter displays.
7) Panels can be bendable with no damage sustained. - Chooxo, on 04/20/2009, -1/+13Hurray for rumours of things that might be unveiled!
- j3ff86, on 04/20/2009, -1/+9They are cheaper to produce, look at the $210 Cowon S9. Sony are just being *****.

- Zaxcomp, on 04/20/2009, -0/+5No display can make the crap programming look good.
- kingofnexus, on 04/20/2009, -1/+6Let's hope that larger doesn't mean just 12".
- Topher06, on 04/20/2009, -0/+4Well, at least Sony is the only company trying to bring OLED TV to market. Wait 5 years once the rest of the industry catches up and you can buy your generic mexican TV for 1/4 the price and 1/20th the quality.
- woofers07, on 04/20/2009, -0/+4Should you really start a serious article with, "If you get your rocks off over..."
- AndrewWiggin, on 04/20/2009, -0/+3"2nd Generation Sony OLED TV Unveiled This September"
Unveiled this September? How can it be past tense but it hasn't happened yet and is still only a rumor? - insanewriters, on 04/20/2009, -3/+6Weren't we promised that OLED-based displays were going to be cheaper than LED? Or just cheaper to produce?
- BrendanSheehan, on 04/20/2009, -0/+3"2nd Generation Sony OLED TV Unveiled This September"
What is this meant to mean. 2nd gen. Anyone can put those words together. Does it mean an OLED that's big enough for someone to watch TV? - anexanhume, on 04/20/2009, -1/+4At capacity, it will be cheaper. The volume isn't there yet.
- anexanhume, on 04/20/2009, -0/+3Phantom, 1 was addressed, and as for 2, that's being worked on.
Remember the start of LCDs? Ghosting city, terrible for games and fast movement. - Jektal, on 04/20/2009, -1/+3Have you tried changing the font?
- FDisk, on 04/20/2009, -1/+3I WANT Laser!
- inactive, on 04/20/2009, -0/+2and only twice the length of my man!
- RoboDonut, on 04/20/2009, -0/+2@PhantomRogue: OLED is much cheaper to produce. They're expensive right now because they need cash for research and development (to extend lifespan, among other things). Once they've gone mainstream you can expect them to be several times cheaper than a comparable LCD display because of their simplicity.
- 80hd, on 04/20/2009, -1/+3Hopefully this means that active matrix or faster PWM technology is coming. All the OLED's I've seen have an annoying strobe effect that is visible any time your eyes move across the screen. If this and durability issues are fixed, OLED could sweep the market and I'd be totally happy to see it happen
- FDisk, on 04/21/2009, -0/+1Yea, those sold in millions. /rolleyes
- Rudegar, on 04/20/2009, -2/+3goto line 129;
- gingerboy, on 04/20/2009, -0/+1- for now
- winterspan, on 04/20/2009, -0/+1"Unfortunately, theoretical expectations are often trumped by realistic expectation"'
That goes without saying of any new technology... But it sounds to me that you've never even seen an OLED in real life. Even the tiny Sony XEL-1 is absolutely mindblowing. Yes, AMOLEDs can be made incredibly thin and sip on power, but the real benefit is the incredible contrast and color saturation you get from the direct-emission/lack of a backlight. Like anything new, it will certainly take time to come down in price for the average person, just like thin LCD/PLASMA HDTVs did over the past decade or so.. - Rudegar, on 04/20/2009, -0/+1but only twice the price my man!
- lear, on 04/21/2009, -0/+1the word can be past tense and still mean future. for example that can be read:
"2nd Generation Sony OLED TV will be Unveiled This September" - PhantomRogue, on 04/20/2009, -0/+1They are Cheaper to Mass produce, but They aren't anywhere near there yet. At a pricetag of 2,500 dollars for an 11 inch TV, they WONT be selling many in he near future. I would love to have one, but price point negates their possible adoption. When Plasma/LCd had the huge pricepoint it was at the 50 inch plus market, not 11 inch Market.
And im not saying OLED will never take off, I hope to hell it does (Specially love the almost instant response time), but I just mentioned a few points that are keeping them from being the "New In Thing" for at least a few years. - surfacewound, on 04/20/2009, -0/+1It's 11" and $2500:
http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet ... - AndrewWiggin, on 04/20/2009, -0/+1That doesn't make sense! The volume would be there so fast if they were the same price, let alone cheaper.
It's probably the case that in 5 to 10 years the parts to make it are expected to decrease to below the parts to make LEDs. - j3ff86, on 04/20/2009, -0/+1I was implicitly comparing it to other portable media players of the same size and capacity, but with LCD screens, like the $280 16gb ipod touch and the $250 16gb Samsung P2. But I guess I will have to spell things out for people like you next time.
"They are cheaper to produce, look at the $210 Cowon S9 compared to other PMP's"
Happy? - BrokenVisage, on 04/20/2009, -1/+2So... it was unveiled *this* September? Meaning it already happened, just 5 months from now?
- jturan, on 04/20/2009, -0/+1I think we're really to the point of diminishing returns here. Are the OLED's theoretically much better in picture quality and smaller in size than their LED, LCD, and increasingly less available PDP counterparts? Yes. Unfortunately, theoretical expectations are often trumped by realistic expectations, and those realistic expectations are that most people 1) can't afford these given the state of the economy, 2) half of those that can afford it are happy with the current crop of extremely thin LED and LCD displays on the market, and 3) the other half of those that can afford them probably have no idea how to get the best picture quality out of them (aka, those that buy it and hook up a $250 HDMI Monster cable to it because the Best Buy sales rep told them they needed it).
- Krakus, on 04/21/2009, -0/+0It's called the future perfect tense, chief.
Does anyone learn a foreign language anymore these days? - WibWobble, on 04/20/2009, -2/+2Future telling title...
- nedzeve, on 04/20/2009, -2/+2And possibly electrocution....
- ahhell, on 04/20/2009, -3/+3***** Sony.
- borninda818, on 04/20/2009, -3/+3google, perhaps
- inactive, on 04/20/2009, -5/+5"If you get your rocks off over TVs that you can't have and can never afford..."
CAUTION: May result in your arrest. - Topher06, on 04/20/2009, -2/+1How is a MP3 player screen the same as a TV? You do realize that the price for making a display increases with the size of the display, so a 2" screen costs far less then making a 10" or 20" or 50" display, this is true of LCD, plasma, or OLED. Then throw in all the tech that a TV needs over what an MP3 player needs.
whose an ignorant *****? - Wag3Slav3, on 04/20/2009, -2/+1You mean 1/4th the price and twice the quality. Sony = ***** for the last 5 years.
- philz, on 04/20/2009, -2/+1Ooops, you somehow forgot to say that's just a rumor...
- scoottie, on 04/20/2009, -3/+2Wake me up when its something that Samsung is releasing
- PhantomRogue, on 04/20/2009, -3/+2and the Downsides...
1) Cost - Very Expensive (but what new Technology isnt)
2) Lifespan on OLED's are very short. The Blue LED has a lifetime of about 7,000 hours. Regular LCD TVs average 60,000 - BobDle, on 04/20/2009, -3/+2***** yes. that is all.
- overnine9k, on 04/20/2009, -3/+1More overpriced crap from Sony.
- alpha94, on 04/20/2009, -3/+1Author of this article has some kind of chip on their shoulder about TV's and new technology. Time to find a new place to work?
