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.

even if i don't own this tv set yet, i decided to write this review to give my perspective on how amazing this little set is! i was in one of the studios in a best buy store and i got to see it in person. usually i wasnt a big fan of sony's products. but after turning the set on, i was really amazed on the picture quality. i think it was hooked up to a blu-ray player showing the menu to home alone 2. the quality was awesome compared to the led tvs on the market today. but i think even though i didnt get to hear how it sounds like, i suspect that the sound quality wont be that great due to the size. but overall, im lookin forward to seein these kind of tvs out soon and once they come down in price, ill probably upgrade to an oled tv lol. but if you have the money and love this little tv set, come and get one. you wont be disappointed! ;)

5.0 out of 5 stars Have seen it, don't own it. Yet., September 2, 2008

This review is from: Sony XEL-1 11-Inch OLED Digital TV (Electronics)

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.
