Sony Intros 17-inch and 24-inch Trimaster EL OLED Monitors

Surely you cannot be serious.
I really want to see the proof of that, honestly...

There are more to displays than eye-poping colors. Accuracy, color gamut, bit depth for example. What is "nice" for ignorant consumers is disaster for pros and enthusiasts.

DisplayMate did some non-BS tests of smartphone displays, which still remains the only accessible source of OLED displays.

LOL mate. Check again. They say there were a bug in Android version that outputted only 16bit color instead of 24bit, that's why the shitty colors.
Then again, you cannot really compare mobile displays with desktop displays...

You need to read it again thoroughly.

Also it's not a bug it's a conscious design choice.

What ooh and ahh? it's one man pointing out the obvious. What it doesn't tell you is that the supposedly mere 10% cheaper ones are RGB LED backlit LCDs, already twice as expensive as the CCFL counterparts. Or that the fact that all common video color gamut are very similar to sRGB, which means even w-ccfl is enough.
And, every single OLED device ever tested have inferior picture quality compared to their LCD competitors.

You're the one suggesting that Sony would produce a monitor for professional use that isn't fit for the task, which makes no sense. Break out some specs to prove it.

ROFL that test was against the old pentile matrix OLED displays. Hardly relevant now. Have them try a test with the new Samsung Galaxy S2 screen or those Sony pro monitors.

And one that is gone. So what's your point?

At this price is be cheaper to buy 6 small ones direct from an OEM and come up with your input circuitry lol ( for OLED eyefinity, own circuit board cos I was thinking of jusy buying screens)

Ask Sony. Not very useful, is it?

S II is not out yet.
BVM-E250 costs a car and is unlikely to be ever benchmarked other than user posts on blogs or forums.

And one that is gone. So what's your point?

It's TAViX's point and I'm saying it's irrelevant because it has nothing to do with the screen. And it is not gone. 2.3's gallery app still have it.

Something is wrong with this monitor....or is just Sony....

here is explain and also clearly tested the difference between OLED and LCD:

They even say the manufacturing process would be cheaper than LCD, and the output quality will be better than even CRT...And also, this stupid Sony don't look at all like the OLED monitors/TV out there. Are we missing something???

p.s.

here is how I thought an (AM)OLED monitor will look like:

That IS what an OLED display looks like. In fact LG is bringing that one to market.

The Sony ones are intended to be racked and used in broadcast television production, which is why they look clunky.

What do you find on that product page that supports your argument?

The point is that a pro-level monitor using OLED is already built, which undermines your contention that OLED has flaws that keep it from competing. It doesn't. It absolutely dominates all existing display types.

And now Consumer Reports has chosen the Samsung Galaxy S (which uses an OLED screen) as the best smartphone in the USA. Wait until they get a hold of the new Galaxy S2 which has the even better SAMOLED+ screen...

Samsung Electronics' Galaxy S was named the best smartphone available from the major U.S. mobile operators in a recent ranking by Consumer Reports, U.S. magazine Fortune reported Wednesday in its online edition.

The independent consumer watchdog magazine scored smartphones based on voice quality, ease of use, battery capacity, camera quality and other criteria. The result was a sweeping win by Android-powered devices, including Samsung's flagship model.

Tied for first place on the list with 76 points each were two Galaxy S variants -- the Samsung Captivate from AT&T and the Samsung Vibrant from T-Mobile.

Motorola's Droid X and Droid 2, available through Verizon, scored 75 points each to tie for second. The Apple iPhone 3GS and HTC's Aria, both from AT&T, shared third with 74 points. Except for the iPhone, all of these models run Android.

Consumer Reports still does not recommend the iPhone 4. "The iPhone 4 is a fine performer," it said. "However, Consumer Reports' tests found that if you touch a gap on the phone's lower left side, you could lose your connection. Apple says to call customer service to request a free bumper to alleviate the problem."

More on this - look at this video of the Samsung Galaxy S2 being used outdoors - looks like the SAMOLED+ has done away with any complaints about outdoor visibility; looks great!
