What can we say -- it's a near final build of LG's
15-inch OLED TV that's set to go production in Korea before the baby New Year can suckle at the big one-oh. We could say it's beautiful, that even motion looked good pushing genuine blacks on this razor thin panel. But we wouldn't want to rub your noses in the fact that we're at IFA and you're not. Perhaps this will make you feel better: by the time it makes it Stateside in February or March it'll be carrying a price tag right around $2,500. Really, but it's Wireless TV-capable and that's gotta be worth something.
Oh, and LG tells us that its 32- and 42-inch OLED panels are on schedule and due to be released sometime in 2010. Yes, 2010
contradicting what we've heard earlier. No word on price but it's going to be tres, tres expensive.

just NOW realizing LCD is crap? (well, outside of the INSANELY overpriced IPS)
i'm really looking foward to the Zune HD (probably the only oLED device i'll be able to afford for a while) if ONLY for seeing how good their implementation of a panel is and its performance vs video compression artifacts, response, etc...

Ah yes, the LCD bashing begins.

I too wanna punch an LCD. Those things suck.
Can't wait till OLED comes down to normal pricing. I'd be all up on that like a fat kid on cake.
