[B](Mashable)[/B] -- Korean electronics company LG caused a worldwide stir when it announced its 55-inch OLED panel last week, and now the company has rolled out two more pictures that show you what kind of remarkable TV set this is going to be.
How groundbreaking is this TV, anyway? If you've ever seen an OLED screen, all of which are much smaller than this one, you'll know how outlandishly vibrant its colors are. And an OLED screen can be impossibly thin.
For instance, the one you see here is only 4mm thick -- take a look at the right side of the picture and you'll see the woman's finger pointing at the edge of the screen.
On its official [URL="http://www.lgblog.co.uk/2012/01/world%E2%80%99s-largest-oled-tv-from-lg/"]LG UK Blog[/URL], LG says this screen's color is even more vibrant because of its four-color pixels, making its picture more natural and accurate than other OLEDs. Each tiny pixel emits red, green, blue and white, instead of the red/green/blue used in the pixels of other OLED sets and most other TV sets manufactured today.
Does that make a noticeable difference? We'll take a close look at this screen and others like it at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) next week and give you our first-hand impressions.[/quote]
The only thing that really comes to mind? Shut up and take my money. :v:
But no, seriously, it's a good thing that OLED technology is starting to take off. I can't wait for my TV screens that I can wear as a bracelet.
its all fun and games until BURN IN BURN IN BURN IN

This!
Hope no one uses it as a monitor. So much burn in.
ALL MY ORGASMS.

First off, learn what a screensaver is, second go do some research about OLEDs, companies have been working to fix these problems, the original OLED screens were far more problematic than the current ones.[/QUOTE]
Yeah...
Didn't work on 2 of my phones.

how is this possible

1) That wasn't my point
2) You said that it shouldn't happen on the newer ones as bad
Why do I have the feeling that this is going to cost a boatload of money?

somebody woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning
this looks good though, pretty pointless however when im already happy with my current, far cheaper tv setup
I've owned two phones with AMOLED displays. I can't friggen wait for monitors and TVs with those kinds of black levels.

Oh fucking hell
It never dawned on me that AMOLED = OLED :downs:
My phone isn't AMOLED though, I think it uses liquid faeces or something
And here I am, still using CRT's

Huh, that's an interesting topic. I never thought about burn-in regarding OLEDs. I looked it up on Wikipedia and it claims that OLEDs [I]are [/I]more susceptible to burn-in; [B][I]However[/I][/B], that statement lacked any citation whatsoever. I looked around on different websites and forums and in general people seem to agree that current OLED screens are more likely to burn [I]out [/I]that in. Burn out, as it all the tiny little blue pixels in the screen, as a result of their chemical makeup, are prone to dying, leaving the rest of the screen a red-green colorblind mess. Although, these were the first generation OLED screens so the technology has most certainly improved.

I'm currently waiting for the first Pastor/Minister/Preacher/whatever to call OLED TVs the work of the Devil like they have decried everything else [I]ever[/I].
oh man I really want to have a TV on my arm or some shit let's make it work people.

Because it will. You probably have telekinetic powers or whatever it's called
Toshiba released a 15" OLED TV a few years back and it was a fair amount of money. I can't recall the exact amount, but then again it was still young.
I want my TVs to be a little bigger than 4mm, that just seems too small. Would VESA mounting brackets even fit in 4mm?
This is going to be prohibtivly expensive. As in, expect to pay easily $5k-$10k for this, if not more. This might not even see an offical commercial release even (like concept or specialty cars).
Apparently the costs of producing OLED screen get exponentually higher, the large the side is. Apparently this is due to something required in their production called a "shadow map" or "shadow film" or something to that effect - this film is much easier to produce on a small scale (mobile phone) vs a large scale apparently (TV/monitor), not even counting the cost of each individual OLED being much more expensive versus a standard LCD with backlight display.
I remember someone on a forum spent $15k on a 15" OLED TV for usage as a monitor. That's insane! Not to mention OLED's tend to have a definite shelf life, though latest technology claims that it'll be 5-10 years before anyone has their OLED's die on them.
Basically OLED screens are a cluster of rgb LEDs, made of an organic material, hence organic light emitting diode (OLED).
Unfortunately the LEDs that emit the blue wavelength have a habit of dying early. I'm not sure if these displays have overcome this problem but they look fucking awesome either way.
porn...

They increased its lifetime significantly, couple of years back.
So each subpixel can do RGBW. Well that will definitely help with brightness but I don't think it was that necessary. Also it's important to note that the OLEDs themselves are not colored in the way that Samsung has made their OLED displays for mobile phones.
[quote=engadget]LG's tech uses white OLEDs overlaid with colors[/quote]
Not sure what effect this will have on the color quality, I've heard from a few people that it's an inferior method to the Samsung method of making coloured OLEDs.
On the subject of burn in. My original Galaxy S which uses a Super AMOLED panel does have a bit of burn in where the clock in the top right corner of the screen was, even when the screen is off the faint white clock is visisble. The phone is slightly over a year old.
My SGS II has no burn in, but I have had it for a significantly shorter amount of time. I don't know if it will get burn in but I would assume it will. LGs tech may very well suffer from these issues but until they comment on it I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
EDIT: The blue subpixel thing is a past problem, your TV will be severely outdated by the time they start dying.

They still don't last anywhere near as long as the green(?) ones. That said the lifespan even then was significantly greater than a CRT so idk what all the hype is about.

The clock (which changes every 60 seconds) is burned in but the huge horizontal status bar isn't? I find that somewhat difficult to believe - I own that phone and have noticed nothing of the sort. There is however a bug where the screen stays slightly on even when locked which you may be experiencing.

Oh sorry I didn't put it in there. The letters PM are visible, not the time itself.

I'm okay with paying $4000 for this.

That makes more sense - but what of the status bar? It's brighter and larger than the clock and [i]never[/i] changes.
