Sony has discontinued sales of its first generation OLED HDTV in Japan, citing sluggish demand for the display. Sales will continue in other markets, however.

"LG and other manufacturers have promised mass produced 15-inch displays during 2010."
Oh, ah, a f**king 15inch (14.1 viewable probably). Tell me when I can get a 24" for under $300 and I might be interested.

This is typical of a lot of first generation technology. The cost is so high and the market is already flooded with consumers who already just paid a bundle for the last generation of technology. Give it maybe two more years and you'll see OLED again or something newish like laser TV's from Mitsubishi.

I think a week ago they were considering killing it, and now it is official. Seriously, this was a bad idea...11 inches makes most laptops look huge...they should have never made this as a consumer device. Who cares if the image looks better if the resolution is that low?

The image doesn't look enough better to matter anyways. All these "benefits" are WAY over-exaggerated, and they don't tell you that these OLEDs have, AT BEST, half the life of standard LED elements or LCDs.

"The image doesn't look enough better to matter anyways."
This statement is completely incorrect!
Apparently you haven't seen one.
This technology is essential to visual effects artists, media professionals and anyone who knows what a great image looks like.
I rest my case.
