    Arrow Panasonic to Mass Produce OLED in 2011

    According to the Sankei Shimbun daily (a major Japanese newspaper), Japan-based Matsushita Electric Industrial Co (Panasonic) let out that it is finalizing plans to mass-produce 37-inch organic light-emitting diode (OLED) TVs in three years. The article said that Matsushita would be the first to mass-produce OLED TVs of over 30 inches, and that the company was positioning itself to take on Samsung Electronics, another pro-OLED company to dominate the flat panel market.

    I'm hoping someone has at least a 50" OLED by 2012. I bought a 720p LCD with the idea that one of the new technologies would pan out in 5 years.

    Of course, if I do upgrade my display in 2012, I won't be able to enjoy it long because the world is going to end.

    OLED holds some great promises. But how long until the organic part decomposes and makes your TV smell like spoiled broccoli?

    Well, that will really depend on how your life is going in 2012. It will either suck...or be a sweet, sweet release.

    As for OLED, I just hope that I have a new TV before 2011...

    I think that you inspired the industry.

    I can wait for OLED to mature for a bit, I don't need (want maybe ...) a new TV yet and will definitely go bigger than 50" next time around.

    I'm pretty happy with my 50" plasma for now. I would probably go bigger if I had to do it again. Now I want a 55 or 60 inch low power display with awesome colors and contrast.

    60" , once you experience a 60" or larger in a room that will support it, you will never go back to tiny.

    I hope this mass produce doesn't mean a possibility of manufacturing issues a.k.a. quality.
