Thin Visualizations
I’ve long been a fan of thin-clients. Now I’m becoming a fan of thin-monitors. Fans of thin monitors have been hearing about paper thin screens for quite a while. And we keep getting teased by the corporate world saying something is just about to be released. Well now you can finally buy your own ultra thin TV. Check out Sony’s new super-thin organic light-emitting diode (OLED) TV. At it’s thinnest point it is 3mm thick. That’s not bad.
These things have low power consumption and reportedly show video with an incredibly high contrast ratio and very deep blacks. At 11 inches it is still pretty small, but now that they are in the market for early adopters I imagine it won’t be long before larger versions are available.
This current model is very expensive, but if trends hold the price should drop like a rock.
