I am a gadget geek, and simply could not resist sharing with you this video (in the link below) that shows what happens when you pound an OLED TV screen with a hammer -- not much.
I am absolutely convinced that in the next few years, OLED TVs will take the world by storm.
OLED is short for organic LED, which is a special type of light-emitting diode (LED) that is so bright it does not need a backlight. As a result, it has extraordinarily low power requirements.
The range of colors, brightness, and viewing angle possible with OLEDs are greater than that of LCDs because OLED pixels directly emit light. Because of this, OLED pixel colors appear correct and unshifted, even as the viewing angle approaches 90 degrees from the axis perpendicular to the display.
I first saw OLED TVs in January at the
Consumer Electronic Show
-- and they were absolutely breathtaking. The contrast ratio was over 1,000,000 to 1 and looked like real life. It was amazing.
Another phenomenal characteristic is that they are so thin -- as you can see from the linked video -- and very durable. And, since they also consume far less energy, they can easily double the battery life on your notebook computer. Sony is selling the first OLED TVs this month in Japan, but they are only a tiny 12 inches and they cost $2,000.
I suspect that within five to 10 years you will be able to purchase one the size of a full wall for the same price.
Now, I admit, this is a bit off the topic of health. But it is my passion for gadgets that has been instrumental in my building of this very newsletter. And without it I suspect that the crucial health information spread in these pages would not be able to reach so many of you (or allow you to voice your opinions in the Vital Votes community below).
Rest assured, I will be at the forefront of not only the latest breaking news for your health, but also of the technology to best share it with you.
