Kinda looks like a dishwasher and a microwave, why are they so thick and ugly? It's nice of Sony to use there standard pricing though.

lol its huge ! and super exspensive .. umm i dont think i would ever buy something like that.. not even just to say i have one..

 

[curiousgeorgieo]

Chump change

 

[gti88]

I remember that 5 years ago it was sayd that OLED displays would replace LCDs, because former are better and cheaper in production.

 

[xrodney]

$28,910 - could have 20+ 30" dells for that price.
OLED looks good, but not that much for this price premium.

 

[tomate2]

will it blend??
anyone?? lol

 

[scrumworks]

CRTs are back.

true that

and here i am, wanting an oled monitor. at this rate with how much they cost, they may as well release sed monitors. a MASSIVE step above lcds, and at only twice the cost.

the company that wanted to go ahead with seds didn't because they would cost twice the amount as on lcd, and oled which should only cost 1-5$ to produce a scree, cost WAY the f@#% to much to buy.

All of a sudden my Dell u3011 doesn't seem so expensiv anymore.

 

[Noworldorder]

And they still have not fixed the blue fading problem.

 

[mlopinto2k1]

Don't you worry gentleman, these will eventually come down in price and be mainstream. They will also be extremely thin and versatile.

 

[bhaberle]

10bits huh? Typical sony prices too? I dont think so. lol

 

[sudeshc]

My employer would rather have 100's of more workers like me than that monitor..............

 

[Drag0nR1der]

I would guess the main reason these things cost so much isn't the cost of the technology per se, but the scale of manufacture. Economies of scale play a massive part in how efficient/costly it is to produce each unit.

 

[hardcore_gamer]

I think toms put the wrong picture..OLEDS are ultra thin ffs :O

 

[tevarian]

BVM are Sony's broadcast monitors, that is why they have HD-SDI inputs. They are not at all intended for desktop use, but for high end production and broadcast facilities. We used to pay $1500 for a 9" CRT. Not everything is intended for home use.

 

[jdamon113]

Great, I'll Just trade in My car for a monitor.

PPL!! These are true OLEDs! NOT OLED backlits, which are being sold at Best Buy. I.e. an OLED backlit display is still an LCD display. These however have every pixel as OLED!! Do your research!

....you seem to be the one confused. Nothing is oled backlit, they are led backlit. I don't understand what you think people are thinking but you are interpreting it wrong.

Once more oled =/= led.

GOSH FREAKIN DAMNIT!!!! I would LOVE an OLED monitor, but not at 1920x1080! I need at least 1920x1200! 2560x1600 would be even better, but it has to be 16:10. I don't watch movies on my computer, I watch them on my TV (reading from my computer). 16:9 works for TVs, but not on a computer. I lose too much to tool bars, tool panels, address bars, tabs, and menu bars. On a 16:9 screen I'm left with a sliver of content across the middle!

Nobody is going out specifically looking for 16:9 monitors, those who don't know are just buying a cheap wide monitor. They don't know or care what the aspect ratio is, they just want cheap, which OLED is not! The people who will benefit from OLED and will dish out the money prefer 16:10.

 

[tripplenipple1224]

I'll take twenty

And in the mean time, I've been enjoying my $249 23 inch led monitor for over a year now. It's been great to carry to lan parties. Much better than that old 50 lbs crt I had. It may not be OLED, but sheesh...

'Standard Sony pricing' is right!

I think I just swallowed my gum...., no thanks, I will stick with my relatively calibrated, somewhat contrasty display and buy a Camaro or something instead.
