Samsung's 23" OLED TV

[Delta2]

Given just how long we've been looking at prototype OLED panels at trade shows (and trade shows alone), we're understandably skeptical about a few new claims regarding availability. For whatever it's worth, MegaWhat.tv has reported that the display will actually be on store shelves in 2010 (yeah, that's next year), bringing with it a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, DVI / HDMI inputs and a total depth of just 1.6 centimeters. Furthermore, it's said to suck down 40 percent less energy compared to an equivalent LCD, but you can rest assured that you'll pay for that luxury up front. In related news, Smarthouse is suggesting that senior Panasonic executives have said that it is currently "researching" HD OLED TV and should have one on the market within two years. Not to be a Debbie Downer or anything, but we'll wait until we see progress at CES 2010 before getting too hopeful.

This is definitely something that I would love, but the initial price point will be way too high - hopefully it will be a reality soon, and prices should be reasonable within 5 years - I know, wishful thinking!

I'd say 5 years is about right, Number Six.
Sub-30'' OLED TVs should become affordable in that time, or less (providing more companies will "switch" to this technology)


BTW
I find it funny that you state "no man is just a number" while your nick is "Number Six"

I haven't drooled this much over technology since CD players. I used to listen to records all the time when I was a little kid - absolutely hated cassettes and 8-track because of the hiss - the thought of clean sounding music was too much to resist. My first CD player was the Sony D5, I saw a picture of it on the cover of Popular Science floating above a hand - I paid $280 for it. My first CD was Billy Joel - The Nylon Curtain. When OLED becomes a reality, I'm going to have the same reaction - I was almost tempted to buy that 11" Sony, but it was too small - 23" is also small but watchable.

From the cult TV show The Prisoner - 1967. His rant was that no man is just a number, but that is all he was to society. Unfortunately, this is even truer today than it was 42 years ago. I can certainly relate to this concept, and I do rant against it the way that the Prisoner did, but I am not as successful at it as he was

On a side note, I also wanted CAPTAIN DUNSEL - but it was already taken by a 1 post wonder - maybe Baldrick could make it available............
