?? I don't get all the hooplah... If you took a standard LCD panel, and then built its guts into the stand instead of the back of the panel like they have done here, it would only be about 1mm thicker then an OLED display. Likewise, if you put the guts of this thing on the back of the panel instead of the base, it wouldn't be that much smaller then a standard LCD display, so what is everyone wetting themselves over?
I'm all for new technology, but it would be nice if there was some kind of real benefit to it that justified the ungodly price tag.
More efficient power consumption, ungodly picture in terms of brightness and contrast, no viewing angle issues, no frame rate issues. LCD is shit by comparison. If you're a fan of CRT and recognize it still represents the best in picture display quality, then you'd be happy with OLED.
The ungodly price tag is a given with all new tech. You could pay $10k for a small plasma tv way back when. Prices come down eventually.
