OLED TV
"OLED" stands for organic light-emitting diode, which in a nutshell allows for much thinner screens with super-sharp image quality. At CES this year, a whole bunch of companies are pulling the curtains off really expensive sets aimed at early adopters and 1-percenters. LG kicked things off with a razor-thin, 55-inch OLED TV set that starts at $12,000. Meanwhile, Samsung revealed its own television that allows two users to watch different programs at the same time using special glasses and imaging principles similar to 3D films. And Sony spotlighted a 4K (read: Ultra HD) TV set with a huge 56-inch screen. The price tag, while not yet available, is presumed to be about the same as it would be for one of your non-vital organs.
