Here is Sony's first OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) TV – the XEL-1. At first you grapple for words to describe this
TV. How can I aptly delineate this TV? Well, 'Ultra-Thin' is a good enough word. For a TV just 3mm thick – almost the size of a pound coin what else can you say? The screen of the
Sony XEL-1 11” OLED TV does all what you want it to – turn it here and turn it there, it does exactly that. You can tilt it and view it from any position you wish. With OLED screens that require no back lighting, this TV has a
dynamic contrast ratio of over 1,000,000:1. Whether it is movies or sports that you watch in this 11” screen, you wonder if images can be any clearer than this. Images from organic materials due to the OLED technology has gifted this TV with such vividness and true-to-life clarity that has to be seen to be believed.
'Friend of the earth' is what they say and Friend of the earth it is! Bioplastic materials that are used for manufacturing this television along with the OLED screen makes for very less energy needed for images to be shown on the screen. The aspect ratio of this TV is 16:9 and the display resolution is about 960 x 540 pixels. The
Sony XEL-1 Ultra-Thin OLED TV features USB Photo viewer – so you can enjoy the photos from your digital camera in the 11” screen, simply connect your camera using the USB connection to do so.
Zoom, Smart and Wide modes are included in this TV and there is Auto Noise Reduction and Auto Format Detect too. The Digital comb filter makes sure that the picture vibrations are eliminated, resulting in a crisper and finer picture detail. There are two
HDMI inputs in the rear, so you can enjoy Blu-ray movies and plug in your PLAYSTATION®3 too! Further, this TV features Parental Lock and the audio section constitutes a total power output of 2.4W, auto volume adjustment, screen frame tweeter, digital amplifier and the steady sound feature. This piano black TV consumes 39 W of power with a standby power consumption of 0.8W. The XrossMediaBar is a utilitarian menu, that gives you an easy graphical user interface that lets you have a look at and also access the devices that are connected to your TV – isn't that good!
And finally coming to the dimensions of this OLED TV, it measures 28.7 × 25.5 × 14.7cm with the stand and weighs just 2.2kg including it. This OLED TV has everything – a fine gamut of features, style and what not. If only the price was affordable!
