Sony May Have Made the Best TV Ever

I'm talking about Sony's OLED TV. The XEL-1 is the first organic (based on carbon) light-emitting diode television. Sony calls it "the next big thing" in television technology. Sony means big in terms of quality, not size. OLED TVs are actually amazingly thin. Sony's breakthrough design boasts a 3 millimeter-thin panel and mind-boggling picture quality with amazing contrast, outstanding brightness, exceptional color reproduction and a rapid response time. The XEL-1 is tiny. It measures just under 12 by 10 by 5.5 inches overall and weighs a little more than 4 pounds. The small, super-thin screen measures just 11 inches diagonally in the standard 16-by-9 ration widescreen format. The display's native resolution is 960 by 540 pixels. The set is capable of handling progressive and interlaced video signals from 480 through 1080. Sony says that even though the screen measures 960 by 540 pixels, the OLED TV yields the same pixel density as a 40-inch (measured diagonally) 1080p LCDTV.
This little TV set crams all sorts of goodies inside the enclosure, like Auto SAP, Dolby Digital sound, virtual surround sound, a 3D comb filter, one analog and two HDMI inputs, a memory stick slot to view photos and the like, plus lots more. Sony includes a nice-sized, nifty remote control as well. All in all, it's a pretty neat package. Although super small on the outside, this OLED looks better than any TV I've ever seen in my home. Sony says it has a lot to do with the set's contrast capabilities. The breakthrough technology is capable of completely turning off pixels when reproducing black (unlike other video technologies), resulting in more outstanding dark-scene detail, and a contrast ratio of 1 million to 1 is light years ahead of the competition.
