In one of the TV coups of the year LG has both increased the size of delectable OLED technology by 4 inches (compared to Sony’s 2008 effort) and slashed the price in half. Equally as astonishing is the 15EL9500’s contrast-heavy and vividly coloured screen that’s closer to reality than anything existing tech - including 3DTVs - can offer. Beautifully engineered, the only question is: how badly do you need a luxury TV on your desk? OLED needs to upsize, and fast.
The 15EL9500 produces far and away the finest pictures we’ve seen on a 15in TV. In fact, it produces some of the finest pictures we’ve ever seen on any TV, period. As such, it reminds us all over again of just why OLED got us hot under the collar when we first saw it in action at shows a couple of years ago.
Unfortunately, though, although much cheaper than Sony’s OLED debut, the 15EL9500 also reminds us of OLED’s currently high costs.
But if money’s not as important to you as owning the very best of everything, even when you’re only talking about a portable TV, then the 15EL9500 is a wafer-thin treat even Mr Creosote would enjoy.
