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)."

    Did anyone else notice the RJ45 jack on the back? What's that for?

    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.
