Sony Shows Off Completely Wireless OLED TV

Now not only can you get Sony's OLED TV for the bargain bin price of $1,748, you'll also soon be able to make that 11-inch hunk of visual sexiness completely wireless. Sony recently revealed a completely cordless version of the XEL-1 with an integrated HDTV tuner, a battery, and a wall mount. No specific information about the timing and price of the “I've got no strings” version, but Sony promises it'll be out "soon." [AV Watch via Engadget]

Hype Buster: Sony XEL-1 OLED Not the Perfect TV (We're Not Talking 'Bout Size, Either)

Sony's first OLED TV, the XEL-1, has gotten loads of favorable reviews and hype (from us too). It does put out a hell of a picture, one that made our Wilson proclaim: "you're essentially staring into what could very well be the perfect TV." But Gary over at HDGuru isn't so swoony, and his more rigid (and far HD geekier) tests show some serious (though not fatal) flaws you should definitely know about, if you're thinking about dropping $2,500 or are just an HD freak. Like, for instance, that it's not nearly as bright as the best plasmas and LCDs. More »

LG OLED TVs Will Hit in 2011

While Samsung seems a tad wishy-washy about exactly when they'll be producing OLED TVs, LG has set out a clear date. It's 2011 apparently: Though they'll be investing in next-gen LCD production lines too, the plan is to have volume production of 32-inch OLED screens within three years. [Digitimes]

Samsung, Please Show Off Your 40-Inch OLED Display at CES

Old, busted and tiny: Sony's 11-inch OLED display. New hotness: Samsung's 40-inch OLED display, the largest in the world. Previous reports held they were showing this monstrosity off at CES, but the latest has Samsung saying they might hose us with a punier 31-inch model because "the bigger and pricey one could face difficulty in attracting more major clients." That makes no sense to us, especially since we know a 40-incher's behind the curtain. Bigger, flashier and pricier is better, especially when it comes to CES.

Samsung OLED Product Roadmap Shows 40-inch TVs in 2010

OLED fans will have to be patient, as Samsung's roadmap for the technology shows them only in small handheld devices for this year and next, ramping up to laptop and desktop displays in '09 and finally 40-inch TVs in 2010. After these TVs invade your home and take all your money in the process, Samsung will follow up with flexible OLED displays by 2012. The point? The tech will have lower costs than LCDs or Plasmas eventually, once production ramps up and enough units are out there. But in the mean time, plan for your next TV purchase to be a non-OLED display—unless of course you manage to wed an old millionaire socialite for her money. If you do, please think of your old friend Jason. [Nikkeibp]
