Sony XEL-1: First OLED TV in the US


So, after being announced and released first in its home country, Japan, Sony announced at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas that their OLED TV, the Sony XEL-1 will now be available in the States.

The Sony XEL-1 is the first OLED Television in the United States and features an 11-inch wide screen and is only 3 millimeters thin. The Sony XEL-1 features a high contrast ration of 1,000,000:1, producing very rich and vibrant colors.

The Sony XEL-1 has 2 HDMI slots and a memory stick slot. The advantage of having an OLED TV is that it can be 40 percent more efficient than a 20 inch LCD panel since it uses low power levels and OLED displays needs no backlight which eliminates mercury, making the Sony XEL-1 very environmental friendly.

The Sony XEL-1 is now available for $2,500 but you better hurry and purchase it at the Sony Style Store website since it is only available in limited quantities.
