...Also hitting the market are organic LEDs, or OLEDs, which are sure to render CRTs and LCDs obsolete once engineers overcome limits to size and longevity. They’re thinner and more energy efficient than LCDs and have a greater range of colors, including true black. The New York Times said Sony’s XEL-1 was like “looking out a window. With the glass missing.” OLEDs have much superior viewing angles, so that, unlike the typical laptop LCD screen, they won’t go dark when you turn your head...
...inch plasma model selling for less than $3,000, undercutting existing brands by at least $1,000. Paul O'Donovan, senior analyst at consulting firm Gartner Dataquest, predicts that by the end of 2004, lcd TVs at sizes under 20 inches may cost just $50 more than comparable crts. Prices in general are expected to fall by at least 20% a year for the next several years...
...Yuen's forecast may be overly optimistic. Conventional sets still account for 96% of TV sales. More than 150 million are sold every year. But the days of the space-hogging picture tube do seem numbered. In smaller sizes, flat screens can fit into places where crts simply won't go, such as in a bookshelf or on a kitchen countertop. At the other end of the size spectrum, jumbo wall-mounted flat-screens are ideal for cinema-like home theater systems?and displays keep getting bigger. LG.Philips lcd recently announced a prototype for a 52-inch model that will...
...less than 3 in. deep. That's because the bulky, funnel-shaped tube in standard monitors is replaced with a flat, fluorescent bulb and a thin layer of transistors. Including their stands, flat monitors rarely extend more than 7 in. deep or weigh more than 12 lbs.; monitors with CRTs (cathode-ray tubes) are up to three times as deep and twice as heavy. Flat screens also save energy, reduce eyestrain and look really cool...
...note of caution: flat monitors are more sensitive to external light conditions than are CRTs. They also have a narrower viewing angle, so the colors won't look as rich when viewed from the side or from above. It's best to keep the display away from sunlight and tilt the top edge slightly away from you. Then sit back and enjoy the view...
