Samsung is the leader of a declining market ( LCD TVS).  

I follow the HDTV business in addition to gaming, and by 2017 or 2018, OLED TV's are expected to be as cheap as LCD TVs or slightly below cost, and are expected to offer more vivid pictures, matchbook thin , uses 1/3 of a lcd tv's electricity.  Sony also has made the 1st OLED TV, so it undoubtedly holds the biggest amount of Intellectual property for them.  With the OLED tvs and Blu ray, Sony is basically in some ways turning itself into an IP company as well as electronics/movies/music. 

All companies currently have OLED on the market, and while Sony ranks as some of the most expensive....you see the samsung OLED commercials on during football games.

You know why?

Explain what flashlighting is to the nice people, supercat, and then talk about clouding and screen uniformity.

You can't serious be saying that Sony is leading in the HDTV market under any technology lable right now? You are predicting the future, right? Well, there is no proprietary technology inherant to OLED, and if you're implying that Sony got a headstart in development of this tech, we'll they've already fallen behind, an NOTHING about their plasma or LCD lines make me believe they are capable of producing a cost effecient OLED capable of leading the market.

LED are not the same as OLED.

sony doesn't make plasma i think, and they already have 40' full HD but they are still expensive again they expect in couple of years to have that kind of TV for the same LCD.

Good point, I apologize. I was misunderstanding the discussion. OLED refers to the display panel itself. So-called "LED TVs" are really LED backlit TVs , the panel itself being standard LCD. Only the backlight is different in a "LED TV" - using LEDs instead of CCFL or HCFL (cold or hot cathode fluorescent lighting). So in reality they should be called "LED backlit" TVs - but marketeers got in the way of total truthfulness.

That said, and despite it all, I was right about Samsung leading the way in OLED technology. Forgive me for misspeaking, and I was actually referring to the LED's in my original post.

OLED's are all Sony has left against Samsung. It's not much to babble about though. I don't see a reason to make a switch from LCD to an OLED. Samsung has the better LCD's which are still the strongest kind, then comes plasma and Samsung still owns at that with their series 7.

OLED have  better contrast, faster response, colors, and recently matches LCD life. they are also thinner because they won't require  backlight , easier to transport saving alot in shipping. there is not reason to not change, especially if manufactures deliver it at a similar price.

Thats cool bro, but it still isn't mass market. Even Panasonic is ahead of Sony with their TC's and this year TC-PV10 and TC-PG10 second and third of 2009 only to Samsungs UNB85000 in quality.
