OLED's on the market?

martin_d · 21-05-2008, 10:43 PM

Is the Sony available to buy in or suitable for the UK, and are there any others available?

It would work if you imported it, but no-one selling that I'm aware of. I think it's the only one on the market currently

Sony are talking about a 27" coming out in the next 12 months, though obviously these things have a tendancy to end up pushed back.

As far as I know it wouldn't work in the UK. Its NTSC based and runs at a different frequency.

What's to stop you using a transformer? Not that I'm suggesting the cost/effort is worth it..

Would only solve one issue, not worth the bother

For anyone interested in seeing an OLED display in the UK, they are on Sony's house of the future display at Grand Designs Live at the NEC this weekend (I've been today, as in Friday).

The 11" is definitely there, and I'm pretty sure the screen on the middle of the stand is the 27" although you cannot get close as it is roped off and the guy was presenting other stuff whenever I looked.
