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.”

Sony XEL-1 OLED TV available in the U.S. this month

Hot off the presses so to speak. A preemptive OLED TV strike by Sony one day before CES2008:LAS VEGAS (AP) — Sony Corp. on Sunday said it is introducing to the U.S. market a high-quality organic LED television only as thick as three stacked credit cards.

The 11-inch XEL-1 television, to go on sale this month, is Sony’s first television for the U.S. to use organic light-emitting diode technology, which enables superior picture quality on super-thin displays. The company also is demonstrating a prototype 20-inch version at the Consumer Electronics Show this week in Las Vegas.

The XEL-1 has a contrast ratio — the difference between maximum and minimum brightness — of 1 million to one, because pixels can be turned off completely for a near-perfect black. That compares with 30,000 to one for a good conventional flat-panel TV, which can’t show a perfect black.

The high picture quality comes at a hefty price: about $2,500 for the XEL-1. It sold for $1,700 at its launch in Japan in December.
