    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: Until Sony (or whichever manufacturer) finds a way of producing panels big enough to fit on your living room wall that won't break the bank, we're content, for now just to admire the XEL-1 from afar.
