First impressions of Samsung 31″ OLED TV at CES2008

One of the popular attractions at the Samsung display at CES2008 in Las Vegas is the Samsung 31″ OLED TV. Sony’s OLED TV offering maxes out at 27″ so Samsung has the lead in midsized OLED TV models so far. However, unlike the Sony XEL-1, neither of these OLED TV models is available yet. Samsung is still planning a release date of 2010 for larger sized OLED TV models.

Joshua Shim at aving.net has a few first day impressions of the Samsung OLED TV from Las Vegas:

“The chic, ultra-slim OLED TVs employ AM OLED panels developed by Samsung SDI, a Samsung affiliate dedicated to display production. The finished products weigh some 40 percent less than other LCD TVs of the same size while boasting a contrast ratio of 1 million to one, color gamut of 107% and brightness of 550nit. Samsung will begin commercial production of mid- to large-sized OLED TVs around 2010.”

“OLED is seen as a powerful contender to be at the center of the future display market mainstream given its very high resolution, svelte profile and extremely light weight. Electronics manufacturers have already begun exhibiting these next-generation displays at major trade shows, but Samsung is going a step further at CES 2008. The OLED is being presented as a finished TV product that features an elegant, optimized design.”
