Still left wanting more after checking out Sony's 82-inch 4K display? How's about a 27-inch OLED that's about as thick as two credit cards stacked together? 'Course, Sony's already offering up an 11-inch version for those with cash to burn, but this one's not nearly as ready to sneak into your home. Still, you know you can't resist taking a peek, so jump on through and start dreaming, alright? 
oh my if only i could afford that
Drool!
wow shes really cute, screw the TV..lol
same reaction I had lol
Don't you mean... DON'T screw the TV?
is it two or three credit cards thick because thats a huge deal breaker for me.
Why? You'll have to max them all out to buy it anyway.
I agree with bender. My 27" Olevia is around 4". Still not bad considering...crts.
Ohhh so sexy.
wow i didnt care for the OLED hype much, but WOW that looks amazing. cannot judge the picture but the thinness really makes it an amazing product. hopefully that 27" gets to average consumer prices within two years.
me wanty....me wanty.....
Wow, that thing is godly. LOL at all the other 9mm screens. The sony is only 3mm!
wow.. so thin, and stylish, and sexy........
oh, and i guess the TV's not bad either
But will it run longer than 5000 hours, Veronica?

i'm still waiting for the day when i'll have to put up a display using wallpaper paste.
I'd like to see some high resolution photos.
how much of a dealbreaker is thickness, really. I mean, it's cool that they CAN do it, but if I was going to buy one, pretty much every other aspect of it would matter more to me than thickness.
i'd imagine transporting such a display would be a huge pain in the ass, as an uneven load on the display would probably break it.
WoWsers! Such a sight for sore eyes! I bet you'd sell your soul for one hot mama! But all is worth it! As for the TV I'd probably just get a loan for it!! XD
Best comment ever! I had to avert myself from spitting all over my screen! Hahahaha
SO HOT!! i'm not talking about the woman.
WOW!!! I sooooo want that for my PC Monitor, lol. That's so sexy! The woman is too!
Veronica's not so familiar with the metric system I suppose. That's not even close to 3 mm. More like 30 mm, and that's like 10-15 credit cards.
Yes! I'd definately buy a television of that size and specs... when the price drops. I use a 24" 1080p computer monitor as a television, and picture quality on that size of a television is just as important to me as on the big-screens.
Also, I hope these OLED televisions pave the way to OLED screens in laptops.
What's an oh-lead? O L E D, someone help her out on the techie speak.
How familiar are you with the concept of "Google"?

How familiar are you with the concept of actually reading (and understanding) a comment before hitting "reply" ?
Really? I used to work at Eastman Kodak (where this technology originated) and we pronounced it Oh-Led just as much as O.L.E.D. It's not as correct, but very easy to pronounce in mid-sentence, unlike the staccato pronunciation of discrete initials. Just like LASER/layzer, SCSI/scuzzy, RFID/arphid, WYSIWYG/wizzywig, QWERTY/kwertie, LAN/lahn, etc, etc. I don't believe for a second that you pronounce each character in any of the final three.

Um... I can see no technical reason why it must be O-L-E-D and not Oh-Lead. I'm a serious techie and I've been saying Oh-Lead all along.
Less volition please. It's the key to getting people to like you.
I'm in the industry ya'll monkey nutz and have been for the past 12 years, and about the only ones who refer to LEDs and OLEDS as "leads" are the Brits and the HK'rs that still harken back to the UK occupation of Hong Kong. She doesn't seem like she's got either a Mandarin, Canton or Brit accent. And, if you fanboys can chill for a bit and sheath your weaps protecting your online GF you'd see the sarcasm of my comment. Yeesh.
Crap, i'm one of those double-posters.
Yeah, that's the weird thing about light emitting diodes; throughout my entire education I never heard another engineer pronounce LED as "led" (rhymes with dead) only ever "el-ee-dee." Then again, I don't really care what you call it as long as I can understand what you are talking about.
It's a rule of length. Generally, TLAs (three-letter acronyms) are short enough to be pronounced as the three separate letters (CIA, WPM, LED, etc), while anything longer isn't. Then again, the whole pseudoword pronounciation thing pretty much only has to do with the Computer Era, and OUR acronyms. In any case, I believe fully in "Oh-Lead".
