What's news worthy:
According to Sony: "OLED's light-emitting structure prevents light emission when reproducing shades of black: OLED technology reproduces very deep
blacks and can control all the phases of light emission, expressing colors and subtleties that conventional displays cannot match."
This means that the black levels will be better than LCD and the brightness will be better than Plasmas. That doesn't say much but it is a start. Having seen a couple of
these up close. They are very impressive. At the CES show the Sony OLED TVs, are absolutely brilliant in every aspect.
These screens almost seemed 3D to me. Watching the screen you could see how the screen was fluid. I have an LCD at home a top end LCD and after getting back
from looking at these OLED's from Sony I don't think I will be able to ever look with pride at my high end LCD television again.
Originally it was thought that the screens would start coming out in large formats last year. Unfortunately that has happened yet but when the CEO of Sony says OLED
"defined the company for 2008" you know that it means serious business. I would wager that we will start seeing large screen OLED coming on out in Aug of
2008.
The first screen they're coming out with is an 11" screen for $2500.00. I really don't expect them to sell very many at that price. But In talking with the product manager
at the show I think they are just setting the stage for the large screens to be priced at about $6K-$8K and seem like a great deal when they come out.
Installation:
I got a good view of the back of a couple of these this time. And it looks like they are using a abnormal whole pattern (as in none) on the back of the screen.
I think this will create a new market for ultra-thin wall mounts for installation. I think the frames will have to be more like picture frames. The mounts will
need to be smaller than one quarter of an inch for flat mounted installations otherwise it's just going to look very strange. The installation of these will be tricky as
the ultra thin design of the OLED TV is very nice but it's going to be hard to keep that look when installing it on a tilt, cantilever or articulating arm wall
mount. I think the best way to install the OLED TV to keep their ultra-thin profile is going to be to install a recessed wall plate that goes back about 2-4 inches
to make room for the mounts and to keep a slim line look to the installation of the OLED TV. In my discussions with others I believe future large screen OLED
TV will have a separate media receiver and a proprietary cable that will go from the receiver to the TV. To help the OLED TV keep its slim design and make it
wall mountable.

More News On Sony's OLED Televisions:
USA Today recently had an article on the OLED TV:
The writer starts off with a whiz bang statement....
"It carries a geeky name and an extraordinarily steep price for a television with just an 11-inch screen.
But Sony's super-thin XEL-1 OLED Digital TV may well provide a glimpse of the future of television technology. Now commercially available for — yikes — $2,500, the set has a panel
that is a remarkably thin 3 millimeters, just over one-tenth of an inch."
OK We get it you don't get it... It's about picture quality. I'm sure if you have a TV Mr. USA Today writer you have a cheap one that if your lucky outputs at 720P and furthermore your only
about a year behind the times on reporting this... Why would you take the time to slam something that so obviously outside your realm of understanding?
Statements like:
"Even if you can afford it and no matter how thin or impressive the picture, the display is smaller than most laptop screens. For the same loot, you can choose a nice 50-inch flat-panel TV.
Those are the sets that anchor home theaters, not one better suited for a desktop or upscale bathroom."
OK What are you talking about?
It's clear to me in your writing of this article you've never seen a the TV or you just don't appreciate cutting edge technology. Here's the facts. OLED TV will change how people view TV
today, once the content can support It's resolutions.
The masses will still be purchasing $500 42" Vizio screens while those who bought this technology will be shelling out cash to purchase the best they can afford. A few years ago people
where paying $20K for a plasma television. A few years from now people will be spending the same for the latest technology as long as it is a significant advancement over the previous
standards.
OLED TV still have some growing up to do but they are the next big technology around the corner. We've already installed some beta and alpha productions of OLED and with the access
we have had to these units besides a few corporate insiders I can tell you, NOTHING WILL BEAT OLED in the near future. I would even anticipate a big announcement about roll outs by
the end of this year.
I'm sorry to go off an a tangent but I keep reading these bad articles. It's obvious to me that these writers are just borrowing from other sources and regurgitating what they hear or read in
there own words, really not providing any value.
At HD Installers we are impressed with Sony's efforts to provide a superior product to the consumers and we are looking forward to providing professional installation services for the
complete OLED line from all manufactures when they come out. OLED televisions in 10 years will replace Plasma's who knows whats after that 3D projectors maybe?
