LG 15EL9500 OLED TV rolls out in Europe

Posted on March 1, 2010 2:59 AM

LG is first to release the largest OLED TV in Europe, known as the 15EL9500 as it will hit Austria later this May. This 15" model (whoopee!) will cost you a phenomenal 1,999 Euros - yes, that's more than the average working man's salary, so you might want to check with the missus if you happen to have the desire to make a rather rash purchase decision due to the uber slim profile of the 15EL9500 alongside its stunning picture quality. Folks living Stateside can expect to see this OLED TV hit their part of the world sometime this summer. We do know that the LG 15EL9500 comes with a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio, HD-ready resolution at 1,366 x 768 pixels and a response time from 0.001ms.

Sony Plans To End OLED TV Sales In Japan

Posted on February 15, 2010 11:04 PM

You might still be drooling over Sony’s 11-inch OLED digital TV (Bravia XEL-1), but it seems that the folks over in Japan are already over it. Sony has confirmed that it stopped production of OLED TVs in Japan, and sales of OLED TVs will end when the existing inventory runs out. Fortunately for us, Sony plans to continue production for North America, Europe and other overseas markets. The fact that the only model available, the 11-inch XEL-1, is priced at 200,000 yen ($2,200) in Japan, was always going to give it a hard time competing against the larger, cheaper LCD and plasma sets. While there wasn’t any official sales figure of the OLED TV sets mentioned by Sony, we do know that it had a monthly production capacity of 2000 units. If you’re living overseas, are you planning to grab one of these TVs, or do you think the folks over in Japan got it right?

Mitsubishi parades really large OLED display

Posted on January 27, 2010 9:27 AM

So the rumored Apple tablet will purportedly come with an OLED display, although there are quarters who have a counterpoint in claiming Samsung has more than enough on their hands to be able to fulfill Apple's demands, but Mitsubishi takes the cake where OLED display size is concerned with a new OLED concept which comprises of 10cm x 10cm square units, measuring a diagonal length of 149". Yes sir, that is a whole lot larger compared to any current commercial product, where you get 1,088 x 640 resolution at 3mm pixel pitch for sharp, vibrant images that are viewable even at close range. Other features include a light output of 1500cd/m², where the final production model will a few times brighter compared to an ordinary LCD display, making it suitable for indoor as well as outdoor use.

LG OLED TV now on sale

Posted on January 4, 2010 3:28 PM

LG's impossibly thin OLED TV is already on sale at a South Korean store, but the amazing thing is this - there is no definite model number stated apart from the general "LG OLED TV" label on the display stand. It retails for around $2,500 after conversion in that part of the world, placing you under the "very rich" category if you are able to afford one at your whim and fancy.

Sony's KDL-ZX Series of OLED TVs looks likely to be introduced at CES 2010, although nothing is confirmed yet as at press time. OLED TVs are still far from becoming mainstream due to the prohibitive price point, but with time and advancement in this technology, we could see more affordable units being released by manufacturers as consumers take a step up the upgrade ladder.

LG 15-inch OLED TV tickles your imagination

LG has released its 15" OLED TV in Korea, making it the largest commercially available OLED TV in the market at the moment. This nifty little set is going for approximately $2,500 after conversion, which would clearly place it within reach of the rich and famous, but regular working class folk like you and I would just have to settle for some drooling sessions whenever we walk into an LG store that parades the 15" OLED TV.

Monster Mitsubishi 155-inch OLED TV

Posted on October 8, 2009 11:39 PM

So you think you've got a huge TV in your living room? Wait till you check out Mitsubishi's insane 155" OLED TV that is currently on the showfloor of CEATEC 2009 in Japan. This is a good 5" larger than Panasonic's 150" plasma display that made its debut at CES last year. This 155" OLED TV is made possible thanks to 720 modular sections which measure 4" x 4", nestled tightly together in a seamless configuration. Theoretically, this allows you to expand such a modular design to a size of your choice, making the budget as your only consideration if you want a monster display.

LG 15-inch OLED TV

Posted on June 17, 2009 10:38 AM

LG has plans to ship a 15" OLED TV later this year, specifically between December and January 2010. The display won't be manufactured by LG themselves though, as it will be manufactured by a third party instead - pretty strange move if you ask us. Its specifications have also been rather hush hush, but here's hoping that the resolution it comes in will be higher than the 960 x 540 pixels that Sony's XEL-1 currently offers, which coincidentally is also the only commercially available OLED display in the market today. What do you think about LG's foray into the OLED TV market? We just hope more players enter the arena in order to drive down prices.

Panasonic To Launch 40-inch OLED TV Next Year

Posted on May 8, 2009 12:19 PM

Panasonic has set for itself the goal of launching a large (40") OLED TV by next year. To achieve that goal, the company will partner with Sumitomo Chemical to design an economically viable large OLED TV. and by all accounts, that's not a lot of time - but both companies must have a solid plan before doing this grand announcement (we hope). OLED is widely seen as the next big leap in display technology because it would bring image quality to the next level, while requiring less power. OLED can also be used to create exotic light fixtures. Samsung and Sony also plan to introduce 40" OLED TVs next year.
