Oct 3 2007New Sony Display Is Thinner Than Hell

Sony had their new XEL-1 OLED TV on display recently at CEATEC, a Japanese consumer electronics show. Now I'm not one to jump to conclusions or anything, but based on the photographic evidence, I'm tempted to say this thing is thin. It boasts a 3mm depth, 1 million:1 contrast ratio, and costs $1,700 (!!) for an 11-incher. Now I know what you're thinking. Here comes a 3mm wide, 11 inch long dong joke. Well I have news for you folks. I'm too mature for that. So instead I'm just going to say that while thin may be in, fat is where it's at. CRTs forever.
One more from the side after the jump.

Why all the hype about how thin these OLED screens are? Look at the depth of the base with all the associated cables. An 11" CRT Would be shallower on a desk. Surely the best application for these is in portable devices (Unless they are power hungry). Come along now Sony, think this one through!
