Sony Launches 3mm Thin XEL-1 OLED TV
i4u writes "Sony introduces their first commercial OLED TV, the XEL-1. The stunning XEL-1 is what Sony teased on Friday on their site in Japan. The XEL-1 is an 11-inch display that is only 3 mm thin. It features a dramatic 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio and the power consumption is a low 45 W. Sony plans to start shipping the XEL-1 OLED TV on December 1 for 200,000 Yen (~$1,740). Here is Sony's OLED TV product page (in Japanese)."

Seconded! At first I read the summary and thought 'SHIT THIS SOUNDS FUCKING AMAZING' but then I went to the actual product page, and it looks like a goat pissed all over the graph paper they drew the designs on and the people in the factory didn't realise it had been urinised on and built it in the shoddy image we see before us.
Also at only 11" what use is it to anyone? They will have to film everything really zoomed in to compensate for this appalling oversight. Its typical Sony this, they design something thats good on paper, but when the final product comes out it is blighted by a terrible design flaw (like Linux). Its like when they tried to send those men up to fix the hubble telescope but they forgot to take enough petrol and they had to fly back before they had finished fixing it or they wouldn't have had enough petrol to fly home again.
How they plan to charge $1,740 for 11 inches is beyond me.
My understanding is that he is a very high class kind of guy.
Did anyone else notice the RJ45 jack on the back? What's that for?
An Internet connection of course. How else are they going to disable it when you play non-approved content?
Oh sir... it's only wafer thin!
Bury me in mashed potatoes.
Women? You must be new here.
That's too bad. I was hoping for 2mm thin, but this one is only 3mm thin.
Those marketeers are too smart for their own good.
