Photos: Delicious LG OLED screens to drool on

CES 2009

OLED continues to draw big crowds at CES, and we suspect the same will be true at IFA this year. It's not hard to see why. These paper thin TVs are beautiful. They have gloriously bright images with stunning colour and they make the MacBook Air look like a lard-arse.

We're pretty excited though, because the more companies that produce these screens, and they more they sell, the more likely we are to see sizes increase and prices drop. That said, OLED isn't without its problems. Lifetime, for example, is still quite short -- certainly nothing like the 60,000-odd hours you'd get with a small LCD.

One prospect that excites us is fitting these screens to laptops, which would benefit from the beautifully thin panel and lovely colours. This LG has the distinction of having a resolution of 1,366x768 pixels, which makes it significantly better than Sony's 960x540-pixel panel.

The 15-inch display should arrive this summer. There isn't any information on price yet, but we're going to assume it will be very expensive indeed. Universal econopocalypse be damned, we want one!
