1.1 - XBR 12
the twelve stand for the 12k price tag.

In all honesty, these tv's are a beast but they are way overpriced even for high end tv market.

The TV in the picture in the article makes my XBR4 look old lol. I'm glad they're bringing back the glass frame though, that was one of the many reasons why I bought a BRAVIA

Sony advances in technology really fast, but that's not always the best thing to do. When the PS3 came out they had to sell it for less money than it's worth, and although that's probably not the case here, it won't matter. Only rich people will pay that much for a HDTV. I don't blame them, that thing is downright gorgeous.

OLED has uneven lifespan, the blues have a super rediciously short lifespan, meaning the quality of the tv will deteriorate really quickly.

OLED is not a good future for tvs.

Much better future technology for TVS.

It would be drastically cheaper than LCDS, better quality, faster response times and above all its very scalable since its so cheap to manufacturer.

With this tech you could have 1000 dollar top of the line 60+ inch tvs.

Right now, OLED has quite short life span. Then again, LCD's and plasma displays had very short life span too when first models came out. Especially plasma displays had very short life span until just few years ago. So, they may find some solution for life span just like before. If they don't, then OLED doesn't have very good future.

@1.4: That technology is still just a theory because not even a prototype have been introduced. We have no idea yet whether technology actually works or not because there are no displays using that technology. And no tests about quality or life span.

Why buy any piece of technology, since there's always something that will be new and cheaper?

By that logic none of us couldn't buy a console this gen, because the next consoles will be better

Technology need to be supported in order to evolve

I think ill wait until the new 3d tv's start to churn out.

oled's are B.S expensive, i have a 32" lcd tv now and was planning to skip an upgrade to a bigger/better tv now and get an oled when they become standard, but if they really do deteriorate so badly then i will have to give them a miss.

Why are you all going on about OLED TV’s?
Only one of the new range will be OLED and its most likely to be the 21" model they have already shown and will be enormously expensive.
All the other sets are LCD with various types of LED backlighting, the top model being RGB LED’s.
We are still a few years away from OLED being a viable replacement for LCD/plasma.
