    Anyone see this? That is pretty amazing... 10000:1 contrast, .0004ms response time. Anyone else notice though that the LCD hinge is different? Unlike the 1640 that I have, it doesn't have the exposed metal "hinge" on the frame that shows the screws... the LCD bezel is all black... why can't we get that :(... would definitely look nicer /envious...

    Wonder how much this option is going to cost...

    Too bad those numbers (response time and contrast ratio) aren't really an accurate comparison of the quality of the screen. Would be nice if they had a side by side comparison of the OLED and LED screen.

    In a few years, when they're ready to release these, they'll have even better concepts out...

    OLED generally uses less power, although it oddly depends on the application. It has no back light, and each individual pixel is a light source, so the more pixels that are lit up, the more power is used. If you're browsing a bunch of mostly white web pages, full screen, it could use as much power as a regular display. But in most scenarios it's a lot less.

    But the thing is what will the life expectancy of the screen be because i read the larger the screen the more faster it dies?

    Forget "almost". I guarantee it. They can't even mass-produce that Sony 11" OLED that's on the market now.

    Forget a 16" laptop screen.

    Then why the hell show off the screen, why can't they just release the damn thing, the 1647 even looks a bit different in design.

    PR, obviously. People salivate over that, then say, "hey, can I get me one of those?" So they go on Dell.com and see the XPS 16 and say "wow, that's a nice looking laptop. Not as nice as the OLED concept, but..." and buy one.

    I wonder if they would let you order one over the phone for $10000 or whatever it is 16" OLED screens cost.

    For people like freelance graphics designers or photographers, it might actually be worth it :rolleyes:

    Don't OLEDs have shorter lifespans compared to their LED counterparts?

    Consider that a 15' OLED costs about $2600, I just don't see them coming to laptops anytime soon. That said, I had a Samsung i8910 mobile a while ago, which housed a 3.7' AMOLED screen - man was that a killer... :)

    The main problem with this technology, is that it does not work well under the sun - at least the current generations. Maybe in the future they would put coating to change that, but who knows.
