It is expensive but if HD is needed in a very small format this is the product. price will come down substantially but it will be a while. Simple to hook up- just plug and play. Picture is fabulous. have it on the countertop in the bathroom- takes uo very little room and looks sllek and modern.

I just returned from Korea where I saw this display in an airport store. The screen is deceivingly small, the eleven inches looking even less generous than it sounds. It is wider than your average wide screen tv available, only half as tall as it is wide (about 5 inches - 5.5 according to this site.)
However, the picture looked amazing. I was caught by this before I knew I was looking at OLED - the faces on the display were the most realistic I have ever seen, on any kind of monitor. The quality was equivalent to a printed photograph. Looking closely I could still spot the pixels, the same size as any good quality lcd monitor. So I give credit mostly to the contrast ratio, in addition to the fact they were playing a blue ray from a ps3.
Anyway, 2500 is too much right now, I think you need to see it in person before you buy. I would dock a star for that, but I just can't be that harsh on this new technology - it really is the next big thing.

I was one of the few that could buy the refurbished version of this TV directly fom Sony for $499. All I have to say is that is the best picture quality ever and it is sad that Sony discontinued OLED for massive markets of TVs.
Pros
-Best picture ever period!
-Looks great. Even the remote control.
-Great quality
Cons
-Introductory price.
I was planning to buy an additional one, but they are gone at this price.

SUPER CRISP
Not bad for $2500, I payed a few thousand more in Japan. It's worth every penny if you want the best clarity. Read more

Freaking outstanding set. Buy several.
I love OLED technology. We needed a new set in the guest bath, so we ordered one of these on a whim. We all fell in love with them, and so the whole family wanted one. Read more
