I've had my notebook running 1920x1200 and I'd never go to any display running less than this. I'm glad to see that this OLED tv/monitor has a healthy amount of pixels on it.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/Dec 19th 2005 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/Dec 19th 2005 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/Dec 19th 2005 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/Dec 19th 2005 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/
In order to boost the oh so important megapixel value, a common marketing trick is to count each of the red, green and blue sub-pixels; giving you a value roughly three times the real number.

If megapixels are that important to the consumer, rather than comparing new TVs to cameras, they should compare them to their old TV. Their top of the line NTSC set that served them well for the last 20 years is only 0.36MP and a jump to 2.3MP is actually pretty damn good.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/Dec 19th 2005 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/
Regardless, this is the most gadget-lust inducing monitor I've seen since LCDs first became available. Thinner, faster, and at 16:10 it can display all manner of widescreen formats natively while still being PC-compatible. I WANT ONE.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/Dec 19th 2005 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/
My guess is that they got the resolution wrong, if it's a TV (since TVs are typically 16:9) -- and that they got the pel count wrong if it's a computer monitor (since monitors are typically 16:10).]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/

A "4 megapixel" camera is really only 1 megapixel of full-color detail. Our eyes are more sensitive to luminance than color detail, though, so this is probably a reasonable compromise. I still think they ought to have to be more honest in their product labelling, though.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/samsungs-21-inch-oled-tv-is-the-worlds-largest-for-now/

Jump to page 19 for the bottom line:

Pros: OLED is lighter, brighter, faster, huge viewing angle, more power efficient than LCDs, and eventually will be cheaper to manufacture.

Cons: Lifetime, sunlight readability, current production costs.

Next step: compare OLED to SED (Surface-Conduction Electron-emitter Display). See http://hdtv.engadget.com/entry/1234000150026155/]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:09AM
