Samsung Announces Largest-Ever OLED Display
kaos.geo writes "Samsung announces a 17" OLED display.
The article specifies that they are using a laser to 'print' the display instead of the previous 'spraying' methods." 400 lumens isn't shabby.

Man... we're just getting prices on LCD's down. Now this? Egads.
:)
Also: Can you game with it?
Organic LEDs are luminescent plastic semiconductors with the theoretical potential to replace LCDs, CRTs and other display technologies through greater efficiency, easier production, more physical flexibility and lower cost.
Are there any environmental changes with these monitors, personally I always make an effort to shop greener and if I could avoid purchasing a CRT in favor of something that would biodegrade nicely well WOO HOOO! I'd be making planters out of my old monitors.
On the other hand: MONITOR MOLD

400 lumens is nothing. i have a raid array of lightbulbs thatll beat this amateur in any benchmark.

Get some sunglasses. Polarized if you really want to reduce the light reaching your eyes from the LCD monitor.
I regularly report MSN spam to the Hotmail admins.
Indeed, those are long-standing problems with us organic units, too.
(Well, production hasn't been such a problem, I guess...)
Seeing bad movies only encourages them. Watch responsibly
I told you a million times not to use hyperbole to get your point across!
Active matrix organic light emitting diode displays... ARE MADE OF PEOPLE!
I'd be wary of buying a $2000 display with a lifetime of seventeen minutes.
Tell me about it. I spent $2000 for seventeen minutes of bliss. I wish I was wary before my purchase. Or was it a rental?
I also reply below your current threshold.
Oh wait, most of the geeks here already have organic material sprayd on their monitors. Never mind, false alarm!
Why would they even try to make a monitor out of that fake fat stuff. It was bad enoug that they put in the potato chips. If this thing over heats it will just be a big puddle on you desk.
Sha! Your lucky it was a rental. I got talked into the purchase and didn't read the fine print about how I'd only get 17 minutes of bliss once a year and have to keep paying a "re-up" fee. If I chose not to pay the re-up fee and terminate the contract or look for an alternate bliss carrier I'd be charged an early termination fee which could legally be up to half of what I own PLUS continuing annual fees.
