Sony unleashes the next big thing


Everything is going organic these days, including the latest innovation in television technology.

OLED_main Sony recently began selling their organic light emitting diode (OLED) TVs to much excitement and twittering in the videophile community.

Sony’s OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) TV, the XEL-1, is truly the next big thing in television technology. It boasts a 3 millimeter thin panel and offers unparalleled picture quality with amazing contrast, outstanding brightness, exceptional colour reproduction, and a rapid response time. It delivers astounding performance in all the key picture quality categories. OLED technology can completely turn off pixels when reproducing black, resulting in more outstanding dark scene detail and a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. OLED also creates unmatched colour expression and detail and enables rapid response times for smooth and natural reproduction of fast moving images like those found in sports and action movies. The XEL-1 features the latest connectivity options including two HDMI™ inputs, a digital tuner, and a Memory Stick® media slot for viewing high-resolution photos.

Only the geekiest of geeks will get excited by talk of 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio and “blacker blacks.” And let’s be realistic here… this first iteration is an 11-inch screen, half the resolution of true High Definition and is selling for $2,500.
