Sony delays big-screen OLED TV

Sony's delayed the release of larger OLED television sets, previously expected later this year. It's no surprise: Sony isn't in a mood to lose money on reputation-building flagship products. Perhaps it also wants to send a message to its engineers, accustomed to making high-tech toys rather than usable and effective products.

Its XEL-1 is a marvel, the only OLED TV on the market. But it remains $2,000 despite being a tiny 11 inches across. Until you see it in person, you just don't get it (and even when you do, you think, "I'll be all over that...when it's cheaper!")
