The CRT Replacement Is Here…Finally!

Cons:

-Limited viewing axis. As with LCDs, when you get too far off center, the color shifts. Excellent off-axis viewing is one thing I really miss about CRTs that even plasmas handle better. This means you have to be careful about placement in your viewing environment.

-Audio sync will be an issue with interlaced material depending upon the I/P mode you use. See above.

-Burn-in. OLEDs are like plasmas in this regard and you have to be careful with them. The PVM has a built in screensaver that dims the picture if it sits on a still frame for ten minutes. But leaving up a mask or BITC could be fatal.

-Shorter lifetime of OLED panels. I had to weigh this one on a business side. We don’t really run our monitors 24/7 all year around. They do get spurts of that but not all year. I’m figuring I’ll get five years out of the panels. That comes to $1,100 a year. I can easily amortize that in a professional viewing environment.

Finally, I won’t count this as a negative for the PVM, but there are some things the BVM has that don’t trickle down to the PVM. If you can afford a BVM, then you should download this PVM vs. BVM OLED and compare the features between the two and see if you need the extras the BVM provides. If you can’t, then don’t bother looking, you’ll just get envious.

Here is an interesting feature comparison chart from Sony.

I am not seeing any flicker on 24P material. It may have to do with the I/P mode they have the monitor set at.
