MKBHD's Rant Video: A Confession about CES 2012 and LG's OLED TV

Hey what's up guys mkbhd here back with another sort of rant video now as you guys know I kind of stayed away from the sort of underwhelming event that was ces 2012. A lot of the you know a lot of the products introduced were cool and it's nice to go to ces but a lot of the stuff was just like incremental upgrades you know the droid razer max which is slightly better than the razer and the the transformer prime tf700t which is slightly better than the current transformer prime so overall I know a lot of you guys might agree and if you hit thumbs up I'll probably already know you guys agree a lot of products introduced there were just okay but I have a confession there was one thing one product at ces 2012 that caught my eye and that was the lg 55-inch oled tv wow like okay here was my reaction when I say I want this like I don't think you understand this this is it forget forget the 3d technology that was introduced in last year's ces tvs that was kind of the thing to throw into tvs but this year this is the stuff that I actually want to see in fact go ahead and take a look at some of this video this was taken by austin from duncan33303 and it shows a lot of the really cool features of it as you can see the tv looks absolutely absurd it looks really really thin it looks the bezel you can see there's practically no bezel it's absurdly good looking the contrast is really high the blacks are pitch black so the image that you get on the screen is is really really beautiful really really rich and the tv is also probably for the really really rich but yeah it is a nice tv

Now remember the video I did a little while back on oled technology and why it rocks remember the video I did on the samsung galaxy nexus's oled display just for that remember the video I did with the zune hd oled display yeah in case you haven't noticed oled is awesome oled devices actually tend to be very very thin and tend to look really really good every single time so I kind of proposed in those videos that you know every cell phone manufacturer should just use oled technology in all their cell phones because it's also really low power it doesn't like black pixels at all and that saves battery life and makes low power devices so I'm proposing I really okay I just really hope that oled tvs catch on and as you guys know when stuff catches on competition is great and that's what's going to have companies pitting against each other and trying to undercut prices and deliver the best goods with the lowest price so that's what's going to drive prices straight down straight down to the like button on this video until eventually we have say 24 inch oled monitors just for the same price that we have 24 inch lcd monitors right now

You might have seen a recent rumor from technobuffalo it was regarding the apple sort of itv rumor and uh among the specs that were presented in that article were that it might be an oled display even if I don't want to buy necessarily an apple tv I want them to introduce that to the market because as you know when apple introduces something kind of new then other companies are kind of just on their tail like a wildfire that didn't make any sense but the trend spreads and eventually you've got oled tvs everywhere and that's what we want because then the competition starts and prices go down honestly these tvs look so great that I am definitely going to be trying my hardest to get some of these in-house and reviewing as many of these as possible for you guys and hey if apple starts under maybe say two thousand dollars I might seriously consider that one but honestly I really hope this market explodes in a good way either way this has been an mkbhd rant video it's kind of turned into a sort of positive rant video so again if you like this video to show that you agree that would really help it also really helps me out as you guys can see I am replying to your comments down below uh what I want to know is what do you think of this oled technology uh craze or sort of introduction the 3d that was kind of thrown into tvs last year didn't really get a very welcome response so I'm interested to see what you guys think about oled stuff in the new tvs either way thanks for watching and share this video if you enjoy it and I'll talk to you guys later

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what's up guys mkbhd here back with another sort of rant video now as you guys know i kind of stayed away from the sort of underwhelming event that was ces 2012. a lot of the you know a lot of the products introduced were cool and it's nice to go to ces but a lot of the stuff was just like incremental upgrades you know the droid razer max which is slightly better than the razer and the the transformer prime tf700t which is slightly better than the current transformer prime so overall i know a lot of you guys might agree and if you hit thumbs up i'll probably already know you guys agree a lot of products introduced there were just okay but i have a confession there was one thing one product at ces 2012 that caught my eye and that was the lg 55-inch oled tv wow like okay here was my reaction when i say i want this like i don't think you understand this this is it forget forget the 3d technology that was introduced in last year's ces tvs that was kind of the thing to throw into tvs but this year this is the stuff that i actually want to see in fact go ahead and take a look at some of this video this was taken by austin from duncan33303 and it shows a lot of the really cool features of it as you can see the tv looks absolutely absurd it looks really really thin it looks the bezel you can see there's practically no bezel it's absurdly good looking the contrast is really high the blacks are pitch black so the image that you get on the screen is is really really beautiful really really rich and the tv is also probably for the really really rich but yeah it is a nice tv now remember the video i did a little while back on oled technology and why it rocks remember the video i did on the samsung galaxy nexus's oled display just for that remember the video i did with the zune hd oled display yeah in case you haven't noticed oled is awesome oled devices actually tend to be very very thin and tend to look really really good every single time so i kind of proposed in those videos that you know every cell phone manufacturer should just use oled technology in all their cell phones because it's also really low power it doesn't like black pixels at all and that saves battery life and makes low power devices so i'm proposing i really okay i just really hope that oled tvs catch on and as you guys know when stuff catches on competition is great and that's what's going to have companies pitting against each other and trying to undercut prices and deliver the best goods with the lowest price so that's what's going to drive prices straight down straight down to the like button on this video until eventually we have say 24 inch oled monitors just for the same price that we have 24 inch lcd monitors right now you might have seen a recent rumor from technobuffalo it was regarding the apple sort of itv rumor and uh among the specs that were presented in that article were that it might be an oled display uh even if i don't want to buy necessarily an apple tv i want them to introduce that to the market because as you know when apple introduces something kind of new then other companies are kind of just on their tail like a wildfire that didn't make any sense but the trend spreads and eventually you've got oled tvs everywhere and that's what we want because then the competition starts and prices go down honestly these tvs look so great that i am definitely going to be trying my hardest to get some of these in-house and reviewing as many of these as possible for you guys and hey if apple starts under maybe say two thousand dollars i might seriously consider that one but honestly i really hope this market explodes in a good way either way this has been an mkbhd rant video it's kind of turned into a sort of positive rant video so again if you like this video to show that you agree that would really help it also really helps me out as you guys can see i am replying to your comments down below uh what i want to know is what do you think of this oled technology uh craze or sort of introduction the 3d that was kind of thrown into tvs last year didn't really get a very welcome response so i'm interested to see what you guys think about oled stuff in the new tvs either way thanks for watching and share this video if you enjoy it and i'll talk to you guys later youhey
