Four colour pixels - does that mean CMYK?

Could also be RGBY same as Sharp.

Sounds more plausible - just thought that saying CMYK was four colours was a bit of a rip because on a TV K isn't really a colour.

No, that would never work on a light based system. 
 
It actually explains this in the article: 
quote:
  
The 4-Color Pixels feature allows for more accurate color depiction by using a set of four colors (red, green blue and white) in comparison to the RGB setup used by other OLED TV manufacturers. 
   
 
It's very clever, actually, as pure white is technically hard to produce with RGB. 
 
As far as I know, the OLED screens we've seen so far have not offered a very accurate colour space. Will be very interesting to see how good this will be.

However, I find LG's 84" 4K TV to be a much more interesting product, that easily could end up with being the best 3D TV on the market.

As above. 
 
The thing that gets me with these TVs is the speakers, they're going to sound worse than a Technika. Granted that most people buying these should have a decent setup anyway.

All day long. Nobody spends thousands on a tv and doesnt get a receiver and speakers.

They really just should stop bothering with putting speakers in high end TV's. 
My old TV didn't play a single note in the 4 years I had it. 
Even in the bedroom we have a basic 2.1 PC speaker system that sounds miles better than the speakers in the TV.

Sound on my TV isn't bad, I do most normal TV watching that way, anything 5.1 gets the surround on though. 
 
I can't remember what they are but check the dolby specs for speaker positioning, I think the rear's are supposed to be quite high. 
 
Most amps will adjust for positioning anyway so it's not that much of an issue.

what john said, high and behind, and even the most basic amp will adjust accordingly 
 
edit - i was referring to rears obviously

OLED has been on the virge for a few years. Originally planned to hit the mainstream much earlier but took much longer to make large units than was planned. 
 
Its why LCDs have been messing around with LED backlights etc - its a stop gap to keep the market turning over till the OLEDs start arriving. 
 
The tech has been very impressive in all the previews. 
 
Not sure the 4K stuff is as impressive. Its just a natural progression of tech getting smaller so higher resolutions possible.  
At the mass-production sizes - 32"-55", most people are not going to get that much more out of 4K over a 1080p set. Less than 50" you would have to be sitting very close to be able to notice the difference (and have 40-20 vision)

The main reason for 4K is full HD passive 3D. 
 
If 3D really is here to stay, it will be passive and glasses free 3D that's going to dominate the market. 
 
There simply is only two good reasons for active 3D at this point: Full HD resolution and production cost, as there's no technological difference between a regular TV and an active 3D TV. 
The current LG and Philips passive 3D TV's deliver a miles better 3D picture in terms of depth. The 540p resolution just looks terrible.

Really? Why? As it's active 3D, resolution should not be affected at all. 
Perhaps just a way of making a gap to the more expensive screens... 
 
Either way, 540p just looks terrible when everyone has started getting used to full HD. 
Even DVD material looks better on a full HD TV, due to the software upscaling, than 540p 3D.

I wonder what'll happen when OLED TV's become the normal, in regards to speaker and speaker placement (on the TV). Can't see it being on the frame of the TV itself.

I see - just been looking into it and as you say - I think this will be the major way they try and sell it. Only problem is all the confusion over 1080p sets that are not 1080p 3D but sort of advertised as at the moment
