Wafer Thin Sony OLED TV

Sony27Inch Oledtv

Is your TV only 3mm thick? No? Mine either. One of OLED's main technical advantages is it's slim profile. The display doesn't require a backlight and so it can stay wafer thin. Until now we haven't really seen any OLED screens bigger than those for cell phone applications. Sony just announced their upcoming 27" OLED TV and yes it's coming to a store near you later this year.

The screen has unmatched color reproduction and contrast - 1,000,000:1. Did you count all the zeros? Most high end plasmas and LCDs top out at 10,000:1. With those specs, image clarity can even be seen at extreme angles as demonstrated in the picture above. The OLED TV will come with all the necessary modern inputs like component and HDMI.

Sony hasn't announced pricing but you can be sure one of these beauties will set you back a house, car and probably wife and kids.

That looks alarmingly fragile.
