Come to think of it - there's a version of the Vita that has an OLED screen & have to say all I've ever heard from Vita owners is how beautiful it is... and that system is built to play games...

Again, I'm sure there must be issues there due to the innate nature of the technology but think it is being somewhat overstated here in this thread...

It is technically a good looking screen. OLED technology gives a fantastic picture. I replaced my OLED Vita recently for a combination of worries, the main worry being a reason that I'm apparently not supposed to share with customers: OLEDs have half-lives on their blues.

 

According to Sony themselves in our training, that's the big reason they were so hesitant about using OLED technology and why the A1E isn't their flagship model. According to Sony OLED panels will lose over 50% of their blue saturation in 7 years, so I wanted to replace my Vita before that became an issue (fear of burn-in was also an issue).

I think this whole debate comes down to expectations. As I stated earlier I don't mind replacing my TV every 5 years if it means having the best viewing experience. At that point I can retire the old OLED to the secondary set in the bedroom or something - I'm sure even with a little burn-in and loss of blues it'll still do a decent enough job in that capacity.

If you want your TV to last up to 10 years as your primary then yes, I guess there are better options. Although, I have to say that it seems a bit of an exception in the world of tech to expect that length of optimal performance out of a product... Just look at phones & PCs...

Sony may be skeptical of OLED in some regards but not too skeptical to have offered a Vita using the tech and also currently available TVs...

My issue is the lack of moderation in these comments - it seems very one-sided & it took the mention of the Vita to have you say something overtly positive about the tech...

I'll have another look at some test screens tonight and really have a thorough examination as I'm genuinely interested. If it turns out there's some burn-in hiding somewhere I won't be happy but I'm not going to lose sleep over it, especially as even with some subtle burn-in which is only visible on test screens, I'm still be delighted with the overall day-to-day viewing experience...
