OLEDs Finally Get Big
They used to max out at about 7-inch but today Samsung announced they'll offer a 17-inch OLED monitor next year. The monitor will be about 1/3 as thick as an LCD monitor and consumes less power too. We wish it were a widescreen, but instead Samsung is sticking with a high resolution standard format 1600 x 1200 resolution.
Not to be outdone, Seiko Epson showed off a 40-inch OLED screen at a press conference today. Just when we finally had our hearts set on Philips' 40-inch LCOS HD TV, isn't it a gadget junky's curse to learn something even more trick is coming along? It all depends on how long you can wait. Philips' LCOS model should be in stores this year (the 60-inch model is already on sale), but should Seiko Epson deign to grace us with this display, it probably won't be available until 2007.
