We saw some very cool prototypes of Sony’s planned OLED TVs at January's CES 2007 Show in Vegas but we’re now happy to report that they are a reality. At least in Japan.
On December 1st, Sony will start selling the Sony Drive XEL-1 OLED TV which measures in at an anorexic 3mm thin. It might be skinny and only have a display size of 11in, but it boasts a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Resolution is clocked at 960x540 pixels and it sports a digital TV tuner, little 1Watt speakers, a HDMI input, Ethernet and USB ports.
It will cost around £850, which is a helluva price to pay for a tiny TV but, hey, we are talking the first commercially available OLED TV here.-Martin Lynch
