the new OLED tv's are great, with bright vivid colors (better then current normal lcd or plasma tv's). a few things to be aware of with them
- they use about 30% less power then lcd (good)
- their blacks are still not as good as the good quality pioneer plasma's that were recently discontinued by pioneer (those were 30% more expensive then other plasma's, and pioneer used to make them in their own factory, now closed)
the main thing is you might not find OLED tv's as crisp and precise as normal lcd's (but they will have brighter colors and use less power). one of the reasons is that untill very recently OLED used only 2 led's per pixel/dot (instead of the 3 used in crt's, plasma, or normal lcd's). this means that to get your 3 primary colors (red, green, blue) together to create one "color spot" on the screen, you then need 2 pixels (or 3 pixels to create 2 dots to be precise). so in fact whatever resolution they are quoting you for the screen, they are probably cheating in the specs and it is 30% lower then an equal lcd/plasma/crt. this is the case for most mobile phone screens using oled today, and if the same technology is used for tv's they would have the same limitation. this might not matter if you sit far enough from the screen, and if your screen is very high resolution and a decent size, but it is something worth considering.
