From our front-page news:
An OLED TV may sound like a product that would be a ways off, but not the case at all. Sony has announced the SonyDrive XEL-1 in Japan, an 11-inch screen that features a 960x540 resolution and an incredible 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. The downside is obviously it's size.. and price, at $1,740.

The 11-inch SonyDrive XEL-1 set features a 960 x 540 pixel resolution, terrestrial digital tuner, 2x 1W speaker, and HDMI, USB, and Ethernet jacks in a package measuring 287 x 140 x 253-mm and 2-kg (3.3-pounds). How much? Well, ¥200,000 or about $1,740 -- That's about $160 per inch of OLED. Rich indeed, but so it goes for first generation technology.
