1.5" is BIG. (I fell victim to the hype. My bad.)

You obviously didn't check out the 9mm thick plasma.

Out of Sony's press conference, the biggest thing had to be the OLEDs. This year, they'll start to actually sell the 11" model at their Sony Style stores. It's got a 30,000 hour life span, which is about half of current LCDs, but a HUGE improvement from last year (as is even putting one on the market), and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, compared to the newest LCDs and Plasmas that are being revealed at CES right now with a 30,000:1 contrast ratio. And as you can tell, it's thin as heck. Of course, it only costs $2,500. I don't think anyone would buy such a early product...


The biggest problem with this model obviously is the base, but that's easily manageable because it will be possible to just run a wire from the box to the screen. OLEDs are predicted to hit the market as a viable contender, at competitive pricing in 2010, just two years away.
