Samsung's Amorphous Oxide TFT should make OLED production cheaper
Samsung's charging ahead in the wide open world of OLEDs, and its latest development could make things better for everyone. Reportedly, the outfit has conjured up a so-called Amorphous Oxide TFT, which is the proper successor of the Amorphous Silicon TFT that's currently used to tell pixels in OLED displays which colors to switch in order to create images. There are two big boons to all of this -- first off, the newfangled tech is cheaper to mass produce, and secondly, it can be retrofitted into current production lines. No telling when Sammy will be able to get this stuff into shipping products, but we're cautiously crossing our fingers for some positive updates in Vegas.

Why are there so many die-hard Samsung fans out there? Why do people prefer Samsung flat-panels over Sony or Panasonic?
Is it because Samsung's picture looks more natural?

Because Samsung is generally better than the rest when it comes to flat panel LCD's. Not only is it equal or sometimes better in picture quality, it also has more features and are generally equal or cheaper than the rest. Also, their focus on the design of the flat panel sets is a standout from the rest of the group. Not only does it look good when turned on, it looks good when turned off.

Anyone want to defend Sony or Panasonic?

Largest 40" OLED Display, huh?
Wouldn't it also be the smallest 40" display?
