    Hi,

    It's me, Peter. I'm writing from 2008.

    I still don't have an OLED display on my desktop.

    I'm still the only person I know that uses Linux as his primary desktop.

    I do have ATI drivers for Fedora Core 3 though!

      This was a, possibly failed, attempt at humor. It was definately not a troll.

      I thought it was funny. You might have added a line about MS Longhorn being pushed back again.

    Awesome review, without any pictures or screen shots I imagine this to the best monitor ever. Since there is no price mentioned it must be under 100 dollars, and I only have to wait 3-5 years to get one that will last more than a month.

    Gosh I just can't wait!

    From the picture link:

    OLED display responses are 1,000 times faster than liquid crystal displays (LCDs), thus enabling greater resolution.

    geez, they wrote that with a straight face?

      Also, this little gem:

      Samsung Electronics unveiled the world's largest 21-inch organic light emitting diode (OLED) display...

  10. When 21 inches is not 21 inches by Easy2RememberNick · · Score: 2, Funny

    Caption under the picture of the OLED display on Chosun.com reads:
    "Samsung Electronics unveiled the world's largest 21-inch organic light emitting diode (OLED) display"

    How can it be the world's largest 21-inch OLED display, aren't all 21-inch displays 21 inches?

    Looks interesting though.
