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!

July 20th, 2010 by joeO
I finally managed to get my hands on the new LG Viewty Snap phone and have been putting it through its paces!

Build on this with an LED flash and good quality video recorder and you have a decent camera. The pictures below were taken using the camera, the second photo using the zoom.

The BD570 Blu-ray & the LE8900 LED TV get 5 star reviews
June 29th, 2010 by joeO
The great reviews for LG’s technology keep rolling in as Techradar award the BD570 media streamer an excellent 5 stars and ask the ultimate question, ‘is it a media streamer that plays Blu-rays, or vice versa?

The closing comment of the review states “The...
