I really was wondering when OLEDs would become a suitable replacement to LCDs. They are so vibrant and save so much more power. ]]>Jan 25th 2008 8:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/toshiba-and-panasonic-double-oled-lifespan-exceeds-lcds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/toshiba-and-panasonic-double-oled-lifespan-exceeds-lcds/]]>Jan 25th 2008 8:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/toshiba-and-panasonic-double-oled-lifespan-exceeds-lcds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/toshiba-and-panasonic-double-oled-lifespan-exceeds-lcds/Jan 25th 2008 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/toshiba-and-panasonic-double-oled-lifespan-exceeds-lcds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/toshiba-and-panasonic-double-oled-lifespan-exceeds-lcds/

In some LCD's, I think the "lifetime" refers to how long it takes before the CCFL back light is at 50% brightness. That's a big difference, I say. But then, at 50% brightness, your TV still works -- put it in a dark room, and it'll still look good. And, if manufacturers were kind, replacing a CCFL back light should cost around $15, if that. Of course, most manufacturers are jerks and do what they can to remove the DIY repair option...

If you had LED back lighting, the lifetime would be a bit longer...but LED's sometimes fry themselves. If manufacturers were jerks, the LED backlight would be one big huge unit that cost $100's of dollars. If they were decent, it'd be easy to replace one burned out $2 LED. Again, most manufacturers aren't decent in this sense...

With OLED, what does "lifetime" mean? Pixels are half as bright? Pixels are dead completely? 20% of the pixels are dead? All the blue sub-pixels are at 20% brightness so the colors look uniformly crappy?

I love the idea of OLED, but I also like *specifics* about what these developments mean in the real world. Dealing with a dim back-light on an LCD is one thing...but an OLED panel isn't going to have a cheap replaceable component to bring the TV back to life, so what exactly can I expect at the end of my OLED's "life" in 10 years?]]>Jan 25th 2008 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/toshiba-and-panasonic-double-oled-lifespan-exceeds-lcds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/toshiba-and-panasonic-double-oled-lifespan-exceeds-lcds/Jan 25th 2008 3:36PM
