The likely-hood of PSHDTV..

[Danji Ikari]

The cell chip according to several quotes will eventually be incorporate into several devices..ie tv's dvd players. With a cell chip in your tv, which i will dub a PSHDTV, it would be able to produce the graphics on the ps3 in the highest resolution could it not? Imagine the cost of such a thing though. ($8000 oo;;; ) But then you must consider that it would be running at a resolution of 2560 x 1920. That is incredibly realistic compared to todays tv's running at 1080i at max (HDTV's that is). Who else finds this to be a likely possibility?

Yes but at 2560X1920 it'll be around $2000 ....Most likely todays HDTV which are 720p and 1080p will be at $400-800 buy then maybe cheaper.

I think Sony will enter the OLED market instead, they invested like a 100 million dollars into it back in 1999 as a 5 year project and now theyve invested more into it.

OLED is basically a TV which creates a display based on electric current, it has EXTREMELY high resolutions and incredibly cheap to make, on top of that beause it doesnt need a tuner or film so its incredibly thin too.

The problem was making OLED bigger than 5 inches but Sony have pulled it off, there a 51 inch OLED available now with astonishing picture quality, I cant wait to see this tech, phenomeral picture without a phenomenal price tag :D

Whats the use, HDTV will almost be a thing of the past in 2006...

[Danji Ikari]

The idea was that it wasn't HDTV. But it was similar to HDTV in that it supports higher resolutions and features.

[Makaveli_786]

Its basically a WEGA with HDTV technology and powered by a cell...

[KlawHammer]

Oh interesting - oh well i'll just use my 21" NEC ChromaClear CRT monitor at 1600x1200 and 85Hz...

[The_One]

The possibility is VERY high, but not at the initial release of the Cell for sure... We may have to wait till 2008 or even 2010 before a Cell powered HDTV comes out (HDTV in the sense of having high resolutions. Not necessarily the same type of HDTV out in the market right now).

[Makaveli_786]

The new technology being made now will give us absolutely terrifying picture quality.

What if sony used Microsoft's tactic and made it incompatible with the Xbox2? Giving Microsoft a taste of their own medicine.

What if sony used Microsoft's tactic and made it incompatible with the Xbox2? Giving Microsoft a taste of their own medicine. Well, then XBox fanboy or simply XBox owners will boycot Sony products. Easy as that. There's more TV manufacturers out there then just Sony you know :lol:.

[Danji Ikari]

yea, but those other tv's won't be running on cells or with all those features or whatever else is put into them. They will probably support recording television onto a memory stick so that's one feature others wouldn't have....or will they?

[The_One]

Well, all I will say is: "It's a strategy Sony can consider."

[Loc]

If PS3 took advantage of Cell-TVs, just imagine the quality of the image, compared to regular TVs, or even HD-Tvs.

[Danji Ikari]

That's what this thread it about so I guess most anyone who has read it already is imagining it. :D

By 2007, we will have oled...

MUCH cheaper, better, thinner...

I read that a 62 inches oled TV, witch better bicture quality than anything else we know, high definition, and every wistle and bells else, will, in 18 months, be available for $2000

AND, if it has a Cell inside , will obviously NOT make a PS3 game look any better.

PS3 will send video signal to the TV, and TV will show it. Nothing else.
The Cell chip (not the same we´ll find in a PS3), will allow this TV to be a PC, for example, and surf the internet. A VERY fast PC, indeed.

It won't make the PS3 look any better, of course, but it will help process information since the Cell within the TV and the Cell within the PS3 can be linked together.

OLED TV's have a 33 percent baserate higher resolution, overall the resolution for a specific OLED TV could easily hit something like 6000x4000 with variable lighting.

With the cell incorporated into the equation it would be crazy to try and imagine... :?

[Matt]

6000x4000, how the hell would you be able to see the damn picture! :)

[Makaveli_786]

Of course the resolution would probably change with size.

[Matt]

You could buy some extra thick glasses to balance it out.

[Makaveli_786]

LOL :P

[The Outspoken]

As long as we are limitted by a pixel structure, a higher resolution will mean a better picture. You wouldn't need glasses to see a 6000x4000 picture, because the picture would just be finer, not smaller.

[ultimategamer2004]

Thing is i heard that OLED at the moment cannot be enlerged bigger than 3inch without distortion but that 3inch i have seen was better than i have seen before.

[Makaveli_786]

It was 5 inches and it started getting distorted, Epson hit the 51 inch mark a while ago and Sony are planning 75 inchs upwards.

[ultimategamer2004]

so was it distorted at 51 inch then so if it wasent it could be used?

[Makaveli_786]

It wasnt distorted and looked great...

Epson designed the 40 inch OLED screen, Sony must have been behind the 51 inch one then :?


Seiko Epson announced on Tuesday the development of a 40-inch full-color organic light-emitting diode display.

This is the largest such display in the world, said the company, which expects to commercialize the technology by 2007.

Using organic light-emitting diode display (OLED), Seiko Epson aims to capture the market for mid-size televisions smaller than 40-inches, said Seiji Hanaoka, vice president and CTO of Seiko Epson.

The company, better known for its printers, said it had developed an inkjet process for depositing organic layers on large-size TFT substrates.

"We have our roots in the PC field, so we are not going to directly compete with consumer electronics companies (that have) lots of audio/visual expertise," said Hanaoka. "Instead, we hope to make inroads into the TV market with such original approaches."

OLED displays use an organic material that glows when an electrical charge is applied. This light-emitting characteristic means that devices need less power to run and can be thinner than LCDs, which are dependent on a backlight.

The technology is already being used in products like digital cameras and cell phones. However, these displays have so far been limited in size, such as the 2.2-inch display on the Kodak EasyShare LS633 camera.

When asked about the prices of OLED-based TVs, Seiichi Iino, Seiko Epson's director in charge of developing OLED technology, said he expects OLED to be able to compete with LCDs as the cost to produce the basic elements of OLEDs is comparable to that of LCDs. OLEDs do not require components such as backlights and film, he added.

Since going public last June, Epson has been aggressively expanding its product lines into newer fields, especially large-screen TVs. In February, the company launched its Livingstation LCD rear-projection TV line in the North American market. This wide-screen, high-definition TV comes with a built-in printer and CD-R drive for printing and storing images.

[Makaveli_786]

LOL, thats a pretty crazy idea :shock:

[Matt]

Sweet. Would there be an equivalent of a PrtScr button on the remote then?

[The_One]

Sweet. Would there be an equivalent of a PrtScr button on the remote then? Possibly :lol:.

[KlawHammer]

Ive been wanting that on consoles for ages - save 'em in BMP or PNG...
