Samsung Announces Largest-Ever OLED Display

Posted by timothy on from the eventually-eventually dept.

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. Update: 05/18 23:49 GMT by T : jhealy writes "Seiko Epson, on the heels and light years ahead of Samsungs announcement earlier today, have announced a 40" OLED monitor. Eat that Samsung!"

    Tech support will have a field day with that fading thing, I bet.

    [The organic units] problems with device lifetime, chemistry and production have limited their use...

    Indeed, those are long-standing problems with us organic units, too.

    (Well, production hasn't been such a problem, I guess...)

    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?

  8. Organic PORN! by niko9 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Oh wait, most of the geeks here already have organic material sprayd on their monitors. Never mind, false alarm!

    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.
