    Lightbulb OLED teevs

    Review of Samsung's new 55" OLED teev: http://hometheaterreview.com/samsung-kn55s9c-oled-hdtv/ Only $9000!

    I have to say, "Multi-View"--using the 3D shuttering system to allow two people to watch separate programs--sounds really, really, cool.
    Whoomah!

    I dunno... can you imagine how annoying it would be sitting next to someone watching Scrubs while you watched Breaking Bad? Together, but oh so far apart!

    Sony actually already did this with a smaller TV aimed at two-player gaming.

    Now that makes sense. In fact, that's awesome.

    If cost was no object, I'd definitely take a 1080p OLED over a 4K LCD, unless we're talking about monster 85" screens.

    Hopefully my Panasonic plasma can last until prices come down.

    What is considered "cheap"?

    About $1000? That's what got me to pull the trigger on my 50" Panny plasma.
    Whoomah!

    I think most people will appreciate better colours and contract ratio (ie darker blacks) - more than higher res.

    Im happy to wait another 4 years till I upgrade.

    And the "two views" is nice for gaming, but not so good for normal tv.
    Unless someone starts coming up with some interesting ideas to use it which doesnt rely on needing different audio.
