LED T.V's the wave of the future?

[Canada]

LED TV's may very well be the wave of the future and may replace LCD tv's. Every TV out right now seems to be a LCD but there have always been two problems with them motion blur and a less than ideal black level. There is an artical that can explain the benifits of LED TV's better than I ever can.

I thought OLED is supposed to replace LCDs?

and they are very expensive and still do not provide as good a picture quality as plasma. Doesn't matter what you do with LCD in the near future... it will have motion blurr. As for contrast ratio... maybe they will do ok. Plasma sets coming out this spring have 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast. Plasma is making big improvements. Then OLED will be popular down the road perhaps... or perhaps a form of SED or NED or who knows what technology will be popular. Might even be nothing we've heard of yet. The disadvantage of LED is that it is also more expensive to manufacture... requiring a transistor per pixel... it's not passive like some display technologies... therefore large sizes are more difficult to make

organic light emitting diode? i think samsung has an 11 inch out....cost 2800 lol... its a very thin display...seen an article...sony just put up millions to do research on OLED's

Sony is the one that actually released OLED tv, I believe it was 11 ince for around 1,700.

I have no doubts OLED will be the TV of the future. My only worry is when?
OLED basically combines the good qualities of both plasmas and LCDs without the negatives.

It has pure blacks of plasmas, is thinner and uses less power than even LCD.

Sony has released one model, but they are having problems with getting larger screens in mass production. My guess is we will see 40 sizes within 4-6 years, and we will see 50" sizes around the price of todays LCD's within 6-8 years.

Good.

I Do plan to keep my newly purchased TV for 8-10 years.

So, by that time, OLED could be my next purchase!

It was $2499 at the Sony Style Store here in Denver. The PQ was stunning; but the size, at 11 inches, was quite small. One store clerk told me that they've heard that a 37-inch version may be coming out at the end of this year. 'Course, I'll believe it when I see it. And the price might be astronomical.

yeah 40'' and up b4 we will get one + it cant be more than 15 I really hope they get one out b4 the end fo the year

Supposedly the manufacturing process for OLEDs is inherently more simple than LCDs, so it should end up costing less to produce them. Of course that's once mass production techniques are created, tested, and then ramped up to industrial levels. Until then (2-4 years?) I'd expect to pay a premium for OLEDs (especially since they have superior PQ, which makes them a "premium" TV by default).

from what i've read, the life expectancy is very short....

I've seen the 11 inch a few x's in sonystyle...nice little monitor.. i'd imagine a 30-50 would look really really good... we'll have to wait and see

so if the 11in is $2500 then the 37 will be around 8K. Reminds me back when the Plasmas came out

Same here. +1

i was actually thinking of replacing my 65" mitsubishi dlp with the samsung 67" led dlp but i read that the led tv's have a sparkling effect which sucks. i really want the laser tv but i'm not paying 7k for a dlp tv.

dlp ?

Obviously you've never seen either the LED DLP or the LaserVue.

Thousands of people have already seen a 40" 1080p OLED at the FPD 2008 International.

...it looks stunning even in the pics.



...the 8.9mm depth is very sexy too.

led dlp, sure have, and the lack of viewing angle

Sounds not unlike most LCD's.
LED DLP's biggest weakness is uniformity of picture, not viewing angle.

..and LaserVue is in the DLP family too, which certainly shouldn't get a thumbs down.

The new OLED or LEP technology will have a lot suprises coming up.
Pretty sure were will be also some problems with it as the size growes but that's why it is called new technology.

Can't wait for holografic multilayer displays

Unfortunately OLED televisions will always remain somewhat of a novelty.

The biggest problem for them is the very thing that makes them possible.. organic material.. it decays.

Although there have been recent advancements in prolonging the life of the blue color (14000 hours has been proven), there is no way to stop atmospheric oxygen from seeping, the result being that an OLED panel essentially loses half of its brightness to decay after 17000 hours.

Altogether though the technology is great, while some companies are no longer looking at HDTV panels they are looking for ways to utilize it in things like cellphones, Ipods etc and even as an alternative energy saving light source.

Here's a recent article announcing some of the advancements made:

I think that LED backlit LCD's will become more popular as prices fall. OLED will be popular in 5 years when 40 plus sized TV's are affordable and the technology is more stable. I am wondering what the future holds for LaserTV. This is awesome technology that seems to be going nowhere.

So in summary: my crystal ball is saying that LED Backlight LCD’s and Plasma will be dominate for the next 5 years and then they will be slowly replaced by emerging technology such as OLED. The old crystal ball is fuzzy when it comes to the future of LaserTV.
