OLED, or organic light emitting diode, TVs are finally shipping next month. I have heard about them for a few years, but none have been commercially available. I recall watching a plug for these where the display was reolled up & put away -a flexible TV?? I doubt LG is going that far, but you can preorder yours today, from Korea, for a mere 11 million won, or about $10k. 55in on the diagonal, 4mm (.16in) on the depth. Yes, less than a quarter of an inch thick. Supposed to be extremely vibrant color, and the press release says infinite contrast ratio, The human eye can only see 800:1, and TV manufacturers have been boasting greater than that for years, so may as well go with infinite to be bigger & better than everybody else....

LG's PR......

How do they get speakers plus inputs on a TV that is 4mm thin? An HDMI plug is thicker than that. I saw a really small Sony OLED TV a few years ago, about 12" but an amazing picture, incredibly deep blacks and really vivid colors. Maybe in 5-7 years when my 60" plasma dies I may be able to afford one.

I own an HDDVD, bought it after BluRay won. It had the best upscaling available at the time...

There are already TVs available with 4k resolution, with HD being half of that at 1920x1080. Been available commercially for a while, theyre now hitting for the consumers....

      Ehhhh except a lot of it was his refusal in college not to play hero ball.....  The two things he greatly improved at the NFL level were his accuracy on the run and learning he didn't have to take the deep shot every play.   That said when taking a massive boom or bust athlete at QB the most important thing is their work ethic/coachability/desire to improve

      The new (released today) FOX ONE app will allow you access to watch your Local FOX Station - similar to how the Paramount Plus app allows you access to watch your local CBS station It'll cost you $20/month for the privilege, but if you're having trouble accessing the over-the-air antenna for FOX, this could be an option to consider the new ESPN app will give you access to ESPN content, but not to the local ABC affiliate. A reminder: if you currently get ESPN via some TV provider (cable, satellite, youtube, etc) then you should be able to use the new ESPN app via your provider login, no additional payment required
