OLED = organic light-emitting diode.This is an amazing new technology that will enable extremely thin TV's with a contrast ratio that is about 100 times greater than the best consumer LCD's or Plasma's on the market today, thanks to the fact that they have no backlight. An advantageous side note of this means they are extremely power efficient. With tested response times of up to 0.01ms, which far exceed today's best. They are much brighter, with more vivid colors than existing TV's too.A few issues remain to get this technology to the mainstream, the big issue being the organic material used has a relatively short lifespan. However this issue is being addressed, and as of recently the 11" version just hit the world market for real. Though at $2,499 it is "very expensive", even if it's technically cheaper to manufacture than any other TV technologies.Expect full sized OLED TV's to hit the mainstream market in 2010, at somewhat affordable [i.e. not cheap] prices. Expect 30" models to start to appear in 2009.P.S. Wil Wheaton = Wesley Crusher= slight idiot (who happens to be spot on here)

You rock!27" though right?

Ok. I've just come back from training at Sony HQ just outside London..(I work for Curry's... and because of the whole company overhaul we are having they are actually giving us the training we want! Finally) and the lecturer actually managed to get to show us a little 11" OLED.... all I will say is WOW!. Picture quality is unreal (even in Standard Def) and the response is so fluid.This is the future. The 11" should be out in the UK by the end of the year hopefully. But they have a 26" coming.

so expensive but so high tech

Yeah, but Sony has a production model. Samsung has a few of its own, and LG and a bunch of Japanese companies are already in the works toward mass producing 37" and larger by 2010 or 2011. Just wait. OLED is going the way of LCD. I remember not too long ago when LCDs were darn expensive. Now a 24" is dirt cheap.
