LG’s 15-inch OLED HDTV Has Pretty Screen, Prettier Case
Have you seen Sony’s 11-inch OLED in person? The screen is fine and everything, but its design is awkward—as if vomited up by an engineer and never reassessed. LG’s 15-inch OLED, however, is at least trying.
The design is both clever and functional, with the display’s ports tucked behind the monitor in some sort of cross between a folded piece of paper and a photo frame. In turn, the necessarily hardware becomes its own stand, and the display can tilt, too (not that the viewing angle on most OLEDs is necessarily lacking).
LG’s fancy OLED will be released in Korea this November. And don’t be surprised to see a $US2000+ pricetag on the thing. [Flickr via OLED Info and Engadget]

@Dr. Evil Genius: Please tell me what the source of that is!

@Dr. Evil Genius: Wait until you splurge for a non-TN panel.

@GlenTen: Did your vomit look anything like this?
@Ben Zvan: If they did have that 21", you would be broke before you left the store.
You're better off with a 60,000" LCD.
@snoop_dizzle: I recently purchased a 24" Acer (1080p) for $250 (incl. tax). excellent quality for the $$.
@sneakypoo: You're very welcome sir.
How's the input lag on OLED screens? Same as LCDs? (Yes, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to TVs/monitors, thanks for asking.)

@Klay: As soon as an OLED screen is released that looks anything less than dazzling, I'll update the headline to something less presumptuous.
Could they make a 24" + HD monitor? It might also be cheaper if they made a monitor instead of a T.V. I can only dream though. Though it would still be expensive o_O
I have been looking for the killer monitor though at least 24" big (there are quite a few 23" ones for some reason) but samsung's newer P series monitors might do it for me.
That's really nice. If only they had a 21" version and I had a billion dollars.
I continuously marvel at how little there is worth watching on whatever screen. When T.V. looks better than reality, a conversation with my most boring neighbor, a decent book, or a run through Gizmodo will still be worth more to me.

Are you basing the words "Dazzling Screen" on the assessment of the art-department-created promotional photo? I hope not. There isn't one print ad for any screen that honestly *shows* the *actual* image produced. Used to be they had to add a disclaimer, but that law is history. As this item probably is still in pre-production, there are no "actual photos" anyway.

What Resolution is the T.V.?
I can appreciate that the panel itself is wafer thin, but it still has a "backpack" on so the effective thickness is still at least an inch thick.

While the actual picture quality may not be an issue with OLED TVs, the perceived picture size on a screen that small could be an issue when viewing from off angle.
Besides in an airplane/train/Xzibit's ride what is the point of an HD screen this size?
I once reassessed my vomit. I don't recommend it.
*sigh* Give me a 55"-65" screen in one of these and I would be all over it. Paper thin and hanging on my wall!

How long before Organic LEDs become sentient and take over the world? I'm betting 2012...but anyone in the gadget world knows we probably won't even have them by then..or they'll already have been superseded by the next big thing that's taking forever to come out.
