Samsung Unveils 31-inch OLED Screen

OLED panels are the next big thing when it comes to TVs and other consumer electronics. The OLED screen promises more compact dimensions, less power consumption and brighter images. Small OLED screens are currently found on some cell phones and LCD TV makers are looking for larger OLED screens to use in HDTVs. Reuters reports that Samsung recently unveiled a 31-inch active-matrix OLED screen. Samsung says it will have a 31-inch OLED prototype TV on display at CES 2008 in January.

SAMSUNG and SONY === always win

OLED is the tech of the future

:)

1000 000:1 ===FTW

P4KY B6055d ago (Edited 6055d ago )

Can I get a job too?

+ that is a really smart TV. Samsung and Sony can now print money.

Lord_Mike6055d ago (Edited 6055d ago )

I was planning to get a second HDTV for my home, possible a 50" or more. Now that I've heard of these OLED's, I'll just wait a bit till they release 50 inchers =) Hopefully no longer than 2 years

Darkiewonder6055d ago

Price surge man. especially new tech. Always high for my wallet ;o

6/7 years before I tell my dad to update his HDTV if there's a size that's bigger than 70" ;3

Sexius Maximus6055d ago (Edited 6055d ago )

what the hell ever happened to Laser TVs?? Those were suppose to be just as amazing as OLED, yet really cheap to manufacture.

socomnick6055d ago

Oled is the wrong direction just when people are starting to afford hdtvs they jack up the price for smaller screens . A oled 31 inch probably cost 4 times as much a lcd in the same size.

AceLuby6055d ago

I picked up my 32" LCD at tigerdirect.com for $599 and my 65" DLP for $1599. This tech isn't gonna be worth it for quite a few more years.

Guwapo776055d ago

I welcome the OLEDS to the market with open arms. That way I can get that 52" Sony Bravia XBR4 for cheap. I bought the 40" Bravia XBR3 for $2250 in March. So if I can get the 52" for around $1500, I'd be in heaven.

I can only hope they can flood the market with these wonderful televisions soon.

socomnick6055d ago

Get a Pioneer plasma hands down the best picture quality I have ever seen my cousin gots a 360 hooked up to it.

Guwapo776055d ago (Edited 6055d ago )

I've grown accustomed to LCDs. I was about to buy a plasma TV back in the day, until I learned of the image burning on the screen. Yeah I know, that was back then...but that fear still inside of me till this day even though that problem nolonger happens.

http://www.plasmatvbuyinggu...

Oh yeah, one more thing, I can't purchase a plasma tv anyways. I'm in the military and they won't ship plasma tvs for some odd reason (never gave any good reason why). I'd hate to sell my TV whenever I change bases. Yeah I know this doesn't apply to most...but thats just my world.

Cool tech, but as you guys said i am sure it is going to be very expensive. I just got a 32 inch lcd samy a year ago. I think it will be a long time before i upgrade to something like this, unless i win the lottery :-P

SSCOOLCHEA6055d ago

you be alright , full 1080p what more ?

ancient1126055d ago

I'm sure back in the CRT days, we also said something similar when the expensive flatscreens came out: "what more"

PlayStation 5 PS3 Native Emulation Could Be Held Back by Important Technical Limitations

Due to the Cell processor that powered the system, PlayStation 3 emulation on the PlayStation 5 could be held back by important technical limitations

All that processor ever really served was to make game development harder for most people. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Markdn20d ago

Your right, well up. Till the point they realised how to program it and then it became a monster, they way it off loads tasks to spus and they way it manages this is astounding, I wish they had just upgraded it for ps4 gave it more ram to its disposal as it would truely have been a monster, instead we got an under powered AMD chip and some of the guys here we very disappointed indeed. For a cost point of view it made PS4 more affordable but from a development point of view, we already had the development tools and software

yeahokwhatever20d ago

all that processor did was wipe the floor with its competition. like, badly.

TheNamelessOne20d ago

I remember most 3rd party titles being the runt of the litter when it came to ports that generation.

yeahokwhatever20d ago

EA made a few bad ports in the opening months of the release. compare 1st party titles. go ahead. do it. oh you cant. not even the same league.

Number1TailzFan21d ago

Ignore because they're good at tech/frame rate analysis? K..

1nsomniac20d ago

Ignore because they’re arguably widely recognised as one of, if not the best source in the industry… great logic. Well done.

fsfsxii20d ago

They offer surface level analysis, its like that Tv overlay that displays the framerate, they absolutely have 0 clue with anything development related, or anything behind the scenes, and more often than not, they’re a propaganda machine.

1nsomniac20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

The irony being they clearly do know and they continuously prove that they know.. Relentlessly. If these comments aren’t sarcasm then they’re a sure fire way to make yourself look a bit stupid.

Aggesan20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

I think they're among the best in the business when it comes to frame by frame analysis, but they often speak on topics where they're not more informed than any other interested and passionate amateur. Quite often it's painful watching their show when they state things like facts when they're in fact wrong, and knowing that most of their viewers will assume they're 100% correct about everything they say. I still enjoy them though, especially the retro stuff.

RaidenBlack20d ago

lol, one slightly -ve take from DF and bam! ~ " Ignore "

Huey_My_D_Long20d ago

For those who say DF doesn't know what they are doing...Gotta give us a hard example not a generalized statement.

TheEroica20d ago

Sony beggers raging at DF because Sony can't feed them enough remakes and old generation content to keep them happy. Yikes!

VariantAEC20d ago

DF... the same people convinced PS5 and Xbox Series consoles couldn't do raytracing? The same people who didn't consider PS4 Pro was running AC7 better than Xbox One X due to PS4 Pro's CPU rapid packed math feature while I was telling them to look into it? The same people that are still confused about the PS5's capabilities against XSX's despite all the information being handed to them on a silver platter by Mark Cerny which some smarter gamers with some programming experience have been telling them since the road to PS5 talk was done? Those people?

Yeah, I think I'll continue to pass on any superficial opinion-based observations they make about game developement, too.

Here they are using NATIVE again like they know what it means, they don't.

meganick20d ago

I’d like to see someone explain why you’re getting downvotes. You’re correct. If software is running on native (original) hardware, then it’s not being emulated. If it is being emulated, then it’s not running on native hardware. “Native emulation” seems to be a bit of an oxymoron.

VariantAEC19d ago

DF doesn't know what "native support" means... it doesn't seem like you know either. Native support can mean emulation, but meaning the original hardware is not required, but it also means no downloads. "Native support" means that nothing additional is required to run the software as intended. You can certainly call a software emulation layer on PS3 for PS1 games native support because it ran software from the disc needing absolutely nothing else to work properly. The PS1 hardware was not on PS3, but the games were still natively supported.

Xbox backward compatibility support is not native, no games run from discs without downloading a repackaged app to run. That is not native support and we all agree DF is blatently lying by suggesting it is.

All consoles run repackaged legacy games this gen, which is exactly why the PS3 is still the gold standard for backward compatibility on consoles to this very day. You would simply pop in any PS1/2 disc and they'd just run without needing anything else from anywhere. Apparently, the newer PS3's (no Emotion Engine) still ran the majority of PS2 games.

meganick19d ago

@VariantAEC

First off, you’re using a different term than me. I was talking about the use of the term “native emulation.” But you’re using the term “native support.” Maybe that’s the same thing. I’m not sure.
So from what I gather, “native emulation” means emulation that doesn’t require a download. In computer terminology, I’ve always thought of “native” as implying original hardware, or at least original components.

Eonjay21d ago

Would really love to play some Infamous and Resistance.

InUrFoxHole20d ago

I never understood the love for resistance... I found it the be mid at best. Infamous 2 was good. Would be great to play killzone again

TheNamelessOne20d ago

Outside of the third game, the series was definitely average.

anast20d ago

The concept was cool. I would day 1 a current gen version of the title.

babadivad21d ago

It's only a matter of time before Xbox has PS3 emulation before Playstation because of them dragging their feet.

Bathyj20d ago

Be nice if they did. Be nice to have a reason to get an Xbox again after all this time .

RaidenBlack20d ago

OP's sarcasm comes from Xbox's superior emulation department ... likely the only efficient department at Xbox

Vits20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

I mean... it's really not that far-fetched. Emulation on the Xbox consoles is miles ahead of the PlayStation consoles. The Switch gets close if you jailbreak it, but it lacks power and the cool part about emulation on Xbox is that you just need a $20 dev account to use those features.

And if anything, the Xbox just doesn't have a PS3, Wii U, and Switch emulator yet because it lacks native support for Vulkan/OpenGL 4.3. The moment someone makes a new wrapper or it gets that compatibility, it will be a matter of weeks for those consoles to be playable on it as well.

babadivad20d ago

rpcs3 already perfectly emulates tons of PS3 games on PC. The Xbox already emulates the PS2 far better than Sony. As for the PS3 emulator, the only thing needed is for someone to create a uwp version of RPCS3 and you'll be good to go. There's already a 360 uwp emulator. I suspect RPCS3 will be ported over before the year is out.
