World's first OLED HDTV available for order

Sony's XEL-1 OLED HDTV is now available for order. To recap, OLED (organic light emitting diode) is a quantum leap beyond current LCD and plasma display technology. The picture is amazing. Consider this spec on the XEL-1: it has a 1,000,000: 1 contrast ratio, meaning that blacks show up as deep black, not a dark gray. (yes, that is one million to one) By comparison, an LCD display is doing pretty good if it is rated at 2,000:1. Also, there is no blur artifact from fast moving video. And, the panel is only 3 mm (not cm) thin. Of course, being first on the block (or in the world, actually) will cost you. Sony's 11.1 inch panel will set you back $2499, but it is undeniably stunning. Sony XEL-1 OLED HDTV
