AN interesting review of a test LG OLED tv yet to go into full production.

To be honest i know there are lots of articles and opinions knocking about, but it is done by flatpanelshd.com, who are clearly B&O fans but are also very professional.

Thanks for that Chris - very interesting. In the 'conclusions' I thought the following statement could (will?) have serious implications for the 'quality' manufacturers:- "It not only raises that upper bar but also the lower bar, enabling even cheap manufacturers to create great picture quality because of the stunning OLED picture characteristics." When manufacturers such as LG & Samsung bring out larger OLED screens with picture quality far superior to that possible via LCD or Plasma, then companies such as B&O who will inevitably be slower in adopting the new technology will have a problem I think.

They do need to speed up and realise that it's important to adapt to change.

The problem for B&O is that plasma tvs they were selling for £13500 8 years ago, can now be picked up for £2000. Who would want to spend £2000 on a non HD tv especially considering how good the cheap stuff is becoming. This isnt B&O fault or anything but considering how good OLED could be very shortly, a Beovision 7-55 could be blown away image wise for nuts money. Like i said in a previous thread, if B&O could keep updating the panel as a trade in, but leave the rest it would make buying one of their tv's more palatable. ie make them future proof albeit with the outlay of the updated panel.

Howlong will it take to see the first 40 inch oled T.V's.

 

10 years ago we all marveled at 32 inch 100hz CRT tvs like the Avant, and now 40 inch 100 hz LED LCD tvs can be bought for £500. So where will we be in another 10 years?

Exciting indeed!

 

However, sure the OLED technology will do wonders for TV' but think about that iPad, that you can roll up or fold into your pocket!

Childrens books with video images instead of pictures, sure this isn't exactly around the corner yet, but surely will be.

OLED is some amazing stuff. How cool wouldn't it be putting an oled screen on your wall like a wallpaper? 

Phillips already have a demo screen that can be rolled up like the old wet film! And i saw that a year ago.

How persistent is an OLED screen over the years?
