Sometimes the more interesting products at CES are not the ones companies are holding massive launch events for.
We first heard about LG’s 31-inch, super slim OLED TV back in August, when it was on show at IFA in Berlin. This morning we got a chance to meet the display face-to-face, though LG wasn’t willing to let us get our mucky fingerprints all over it and kept it in a plastic case the entire time.
Measuring in at 31 inches and with a depth of 2.9mm, the panel supports both 2D and 3D imaging and, according to information from IFA in September, has a refresh rate of 600Hz. No word on price or release as there were no LG reps immediately available to answer questions. However, yesterday at its press conference, the company did say that it would be expanding on its OLED line this year, and promised a 31-inch OLED panel so hopefully we’ll see something similar to this available in the near future. Whether we’ll be able to afford it is a different kettle of fish altogether.
However, at what cost?
this is perfect for eyefinity.
its still has about an inch black border...
lol....yea like anybody here would be able to afford 3 of those things!
figure $60,000-300,000
No, it's just marketing BS like 1,000,000:1 contrast ratios and the like, or reverse whatever they're doing now all it is, is meant to confuse customers and sucker them into looking at the numbers w/ bigger = better.
Interestingly enough, this is the one case where you're wrong. The ridiculous dynamic contrast ratios advertised by LCDs are 100% marketing BS, and there is not really any difference between the ones advertising 10k:1 and 500k:1. However, since this is OLED, the black areas of the screen genuinely are black, with zero light emission. This gives an effectively infinite contrast ratio, and it doesn't even need any marketing BS to do it.
