    CNET Review

    February 21, 2008

    The Good: Produces absolute black levels; excellent color saturation; superb viewing angle and screen uniformity; sleek design featuring ultrathin panel.

    The Bad: Ridiculously expensive; tiny screen; inaccurate primary colors; less than HD resolution; no anti-judder processing; screen reflects ambient light; minimal inputs; thin panel cannot be removed from base.

    The Bottom Line: The Sony XEL-1, the world's first OLED TV, costs $2,500 for an 11-inch screen, but its beautiful picture ably shows the promise of the new technology.

    Review Summary: After getting our hands on this Japanese version, we are quite simply impatient to see living room models arrive ? at reasonable prices. Note that our grading here is only involves OLED technology.
