First OLED TV Introduced (in Japan)
Source: Dailytech
The device will cost ¥200,000, or around $1,744 USD — about twice the price of a 40″ LCD TV in Japan.
Overall (base included) the device has measurements of 287×253×140mm and weighs in at 2 kg (4.4 pounds). It sports a 1080p input resolution, though the screen only measures 960×540, so it downscales the image to fit the screen.
One of its more impressive features is a sharp 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio and the fact that it accomplishes it while only consuming 45W of power (according to Sony, this represents a 40 percent power reduction over conventional LCD monitors).
Sony touts the device as a display revolution. They claim that the device has very fast response times –up to 1,000 times that of LCD displays — though no test information was presented to support these claims.
what i do like about LCD TV’s is that the cost keeps dropping each year .~~
despite the improvement in technology, CRT still beats LCD when it comes to contrast ratio;*~
LCD TV’s have very poor contrast ratio if we compare it with CRT televisions,””
i just wish that LCD TVs would have more contrast and brighter colors like CRTs`.*
