And now you can buy it here in Australia.Sony are finally releasing the XEL-1 in Australia, and even though the $6,999 pricetag is absurdly expensive for an 11 inch set, remember that this is the first OLED screen on the market – prices will come down and screen sizes will go up over the next few years.

And while it’s been 12 months since we reviewed it here on Giz, the same verdict still applies – aside from screen size and half-life issues, this is close to being the perfect TV.

Oh, and it cuts cucumbers really well too.

Its screen is roughly the size of the box that Lebowski comes in, and it costs hundreds more than the 50″ plasma overshadowing it in the picture. Why so important? Because this little TV is LCD’s Grim Reaper. The days of the LCD are numbered—the time of OLED is at hand. And if the performance of Sony’s XEL-1 is any indication, nobody is going to miss LCD—or plasma—in the least.
