It's CES Time Kiddos

Those issues were solved quite a while back. On the power front, OLEDs are now siginficantly more power efficient than plasma and LCD technology. Efficiency at this point is somewhere between incandescent and florescent llight bulb technology. As for brightness, Sony's 11" OLED TV is spec'ed at 600 nits, well within LCD TV operating range. ~ 200 nit brightness limit is more for power conservation in mobile device use, rather than inherent technology flaw.

Why so? (4096 x 2160) / (1900 x 1080) = 4.3

Pixel density is quite a bit higher than in a 'normal' 52/60 inch 1900x1080 LCD TV

Sorry if i'm wrong, but can you have dead pixels on a plasma?

The only reason TN panels are so popular is because they are so easy to get the response time low. PVA, MVA, and IPS panels are simply BETTER looking panels. I wouldn't trade my MVA LCD for any TN panel ever made.

The resolution war just keeps on chuggin'. The display reigns supreme this CES. What's up with Mitsubishi's Laser technology? It impressed the Gizmodo guys.



"The result is some of the most vivid color we've ever seen on any TV, especially the primary colors of red, green and blue."

Me suspects this:

"When pressed for details, they kept repeating their mantra about laser being the "purest light source," but from what we could see, we think it must have something to do with hot-looking dancing girls, frickin' lasers, smoke and maybe even mirrors. We were taking shots of the TVs, but all these women kept getting in our way. Oh, well"

If the technology is not so hot, flash some hot girls in front of it!!!

Honestly, if the colors are more vivid then on a plasma or LCD, then I'd hate to see what an HDTV broadcast looks on it!! I have to tone down my set's color whenever I watch any prime time HDTV. I suspect producers are going over saturated because people respond well to it, and we're still stuck with limited tonal ranges.

Found an interesting article on Laser television:

DLP, a registered trademark of Texas Instruments, traditionally uses white-light mercury bulbs. Mitsubishi's new system, instead, uses separate red, green and blue semiconductor lasers in combination with an HD chip, which those who have seen a real-world demo (mostly dealers and Mitsubishi employees) say provides richer and more complex colors and hues, and noticeably more distinct HD clarity and depth-of-field.

I found this from a link from engadget ces to some other site:



Kind of ridiculous, lol

Obviously, oh so obviously, I'm in the minority because I don't understand the iPod dock craze. It is nice to know you one can buy refrigerators, desktop stereo systems, and cars to mate iwth your portable media player. Just like last year and the year before and the year before that, they're everywhere. One can't forget surround bars either. I've never heard a surround bar; going to have to do that sometime.

I do have my eye on this personal LCD display:


I think it will match my Atari shirt nicely. Don't forget the protection. You're getting luckiy with this one fella's.

you're right about power. i was thinking of power consumption based on certain operating systems for mobile devices and for videos where the majority of images are dark colors, it would be quite power efficient. the sony OLED displays at CES were very impressive. now if they could only reduce the price and make them bigger. i can't see and 11" TV being very useful unless you only use it at your desk.

Welp, CES is done. Before the ether, I'll post the bang up Denon Separate combo in case ya'll missed it:



Top is not a receiver. It's a balanced Pre. The bottom amp = 10X150. It will se you back $14k for the pair. More pics, including amp internals, and discussion can be found here.
