OLEDs are a bust for larger panels, they dont last as long, and cost too much... OLEDs for a smartphone that you are going to replace in 1-2 years makes sense though

[blazeballer11]

OLED technology is just too expensive to be available for consumers right now, and the self-illuminating pixels are just amazing. When the prices are reduced to a reasonable price... say 6 digits starting with a 3, max (3xxx .xx), I would love to purchase a TV and view its gorgeous picture

LCD is NOT close in quality to OLED. LCD suffers from the need to be back-lit and has poor viewing angles. OLED has self-illuminating pixels so has neither problem.

Without a doubt though, these new Sony TVs are the most gorgeous I've ever seen.

Let's hope Sony's finally figured out how to eradicate back-light blooming. Realistically, I expect an improvement over the 2010 model, but I doubt it'll be totally gone. I think pixel-for-pixel local-dimming would be the only real way to achieve that.

[23GrandMasterK]

@gorillapancake Pixel-for-Pixel local-dimming will never be achieved with LED-LCD. OLED in one form or another will be that solution though. It just may be 3 or 4 years away though, sadly.

[gorillapancake]

@23GrandMasterK

I know it would never happen. I was just making a point about LED's fatal flaw.

Who knows how long OLED will take to arrive, if ever?

I feel stuck, because I love the qualities of Panasonic plasmas, but Sony has far superior image processing. Neither TV is completely satisfying.

[23GrandMasterK]

@gorillapancake I'm prettu sure OLED will make it to the market. There's really nothing else on the horizon and LCD panes (with LED backlight or CCFL) are maxing out their potential regardless of the processor. 

[gorillapancake]

@23GrandMasterK

I know! And I'm not seeing Panasonic's processing getting any better.

So, at the moment, you can't win.

[hippievogelei]

@23GrandMasterK oled is already made by sony in 2008(the 12 or 14'' oled screen costing 4k grand)

My dream TV! Sony #FTW

[blazeballer11]

oled?

[evildwarf]

@blazeballer11 It says LCD right in the title. Newer LCDs are very close in quality to OLED displays and are much, much cheaper to produce, so I don't think OLED will get much of a chance on the TV market. On cellphones and small gadgets is where the technology will really flourish.

[blazeballer11]

@evildwarf Yes, I know it says LCD in the title, but I was just saying... the screen seems way too thin for LCD. I have no idea what they could have possibly done, but maybe OLED backlighting instead of LED backlighting? I dont know... but I do agree with you when you said OLED will really flourish in mobile gadgets vs. large TV's... if TV's are released now, prices would be extraordinary... but like all technology, prices fall.

[blazeballer11]

@blazeballer11 Scratch that, the screen if definitly an LED screen

[abuammrah]
