AVForums review the EL9500 – Our first OLED!
July 21st, 2010 by joeOOLED has been a buzzword for a few years now, heralded as THE technology that will revolutionize home entertainment. Aside from Sony’s 11inch offering that was launched 2 years ago (and is subsequently no longer in production) there has been little in the way of OLED available for the consumer market. Well LG’s commitment to new technologies strikes again with the arrival of the 15inch EL9500 OLED, in selected stores now!
You may well be asking yourself not only is this technology any good, but is this TV any good? Well according to AVForums it’s excellent!
Measuring in at a ridiculously super-slim 3mm in depth you would be forgiven for thinking that OLED is a one trick pony (albeit a skinny pony). But the great thing about OLED is that, not only is it a super slim technology, but it also offers some of the best picture quality that I have ever set eyes on. In fact in Phil Hinton’s review for AVForums the EL9500 gets the ‘reference’ rating (which essentially means that it is flawless and should be a benchmark for all manufacturers) in terms of its rating for Contrast ratio/dynamic range, black level and calibrated greyscale.
In his conclusion Phil Hinton says “It feels like it was a few years ago now when I was last excited to this degree with a TV display” before saying “this little OLED TV offers a real step forward in terms of picture quality and comes as standard with a slim design”.
