Yeah that makes sense, when zero movie studios support that format. Let alone Blu-Ray is having a hard time, or slow process for people switching over to Blu-Ray.
Do you think HVD will have an easier time for people to switch over to their format with zero content providers (ie. Movie studios)?
LCD TEchnologies has been around since the 70's, that's when the first talked about it, in TV applications, they didn't gain popularity till the late 90's, and obviously it didn't gain affordability to the mass, till a few years ago.
LOL seriously...I wonder if that bad boy is gonna tip over.
By then it might be actually some what affordable. Although I say give it 10 years or so, if it doesn't gain mainstream acceptance, it's likely due to, the manufactures (Sony, Samsung, etc.) couldn't produce large size OLED's at a cost effective price.
Does it even matter? lol
It's equivalent to 2-24inch disdplays, and repsonse time of 0.02 ms, that's pretty insane.
Wonder what the price is.
1,000,000 to 1 Contrast ratio is sick. Hopefully they can bump up the life cycle of OLED, which is is like 6.8 years at constant 24 hour veiwing, or something like that.
Reminds me of the life cycle of the early Plasma.
Wow just read the Samsung 32 inch OLED TV that they have on display would cost in the 15 000 - 20 000 range, if they were to sell it today, and i figure just to break even.
Like Sony is doing with the 11inch OLED.
Wow, that just sick, now this won't be out in the immediate future at affordable prices, even at upper end of plasma/LCD, but the image is striking.
I wonder how much a 40 inch+, would go for, consider the 11inch version goes for 2500.
So does that mean 40inch your looking at 10 G's possibly.
No doubt, but there hoping they can con gamers into their super quick resposne times (under 4ms), and whatever Vyper Drive actually does for gaming.
Sounds over priced for the size.
Impressive that the first blu-ray on the market, or pretty much, is also the one the most "future proof". And also now is one of the cheapest blu-ray players, with almost as good features as High end blu-ray players (minus a few high end Audio decoding options).
As the saying goes, Bigger is always better! ;)
It won't matter for a long time.
your talking about 5-10 year ahead future, right now it's about DVD, and in the next year or two, the gradual switch to Blu-Ray. HD DVD was the most immediate threat to that. Not this.
They still need movie studio support. In the HVD Forum (like the Blu Ray Association) so far not one movie studio is apart of it.
Again this is a case a story within another story. Yes the title of the article is Format War, re: of 1980 battle. However the more interesting part of the article, isn't about the format war, we have plenty of those articles.
It is the first article to my knowledge that talks about Paramount opt out clause. That is story of the article, the rest of the stuff is stuff we already read about in the past few days. If there was a blog or another article that strictly talked ...
Your right they were trying to prolong, it, but in the hopes they'd win the consumers over. With it's cheaper player prices, that it'd move significant amount of units, that the other movie studios would notice, and re-evaluate their positions.
The story here isn't the format war though, the story here is, "opt out" clause, that Ft.com is reporting. I don't think there is anything wrong with the title.
We are looking at a section of the story, not the WHOLE article.
I guess paramount is free to leave at any time, so long as they pay back the 150 million or most of it back to Toshiba. I think Paramount will wait till May (When WB switches over), and at the same time milking the money, and only have to pay a pro-rated portion of "Deal".
1600 for 32 inch model might be pricey for gamers, you can get larger TV display, that are still 1080p.
Umm I'm talking about 1080p dummy, and with some 5.1 sound or better sound. Not what they offer on X-box live which is 720p, why do you think they don't offer anything in 1080p? Hmmm I wonder why...
It's not released in europe or japan yet. Fact of the matter is, all PS3 games tend to sell better in europe than in North America. For the most part.
