OLED Pros and Cons

By Dan Gaul May 26, 2005

Following hot on the heals of Samsung’s announcement of a 40in. OLED TV prototype, The Enquirer has a fun and informative read on the pros and cons of OLED.

From the article:

I had my credit card in a fevered grip before I got a grip, and let the reality of the situation pop my balloon of childish excitement. You won’t actually be able to buy one until late next year or early 2007. Arrrgh!! I have been hearing about bloody OLEDs for so long now that I finally thought they had it cracked and the damned things had made it past mobile phones and onto the shelves. It was not to be. But 40-inch is a good sign. A very good sign for OLEDs
