Sony's new OLED TV wowed audiences at last month's Consumer Electronics Show and now it's available for purchase -- that is, if you can justify spending $2,500 for an 11-inch TV.
According to Sony and Abt, a Chicago retailer that's stocking it, major benefits include: a super-thin 3mm screen (half the thickness of a standard CD jewel case), better color, and a 1,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio that's about 1,000 times better than the average LCD TV. These and other features are achieved through the use of an organic material that emits light, rather than depending on a backlight like other HDTV technologies.
The buzz about this thing is so great that I'd almost consider buying it just to have the coolest HDTV around. Problem is that Sony will undoubtedly come out with an OLED that's twice the size by next year's CES, leaving anyone who buys this one with an 11-inch TV. Think about exactly how small that is...
