OLED Screen

I have been following OLED Tech for a little while.

I currently own a 17” LCD TV bought in about 2005 for around the £300 mark this resides in my bedroom and is some times used as a secondary monitor for my Apple Mac

The TV in my living room is a (I believe) 32” 4:3 CRT set given to me by a friend who no longer required it.

Apart from the lack of money (and the fact I watch very little TV) I refuse to upgrade the the TV set in my living room to a 32” plasma/LCD I plan on leap froging plasma/LCD technology in favour of OLED TV’s.

OLED televisions are literally razor thin, and also (as far as I am aware) operate on a pixel level meaning if there are blacks in a video scene individual pixels on the TV can be switched off, allowing for more truer blacks and better contrast (or so the manufactures would have the buying public believe)

Some mobile devices are already using OLED technology for their display screens, the video below demonstrates OLED’s durability

Will you be upgrading to OLED once the technology is more widely available or are you already with what you currently have?

Video Remix

This video shows how easy it is to edit someone out of context.

I often wish I had a TV card so I could monkey around creating this sort of thing.

Let me know what you think to the video, does it entertain and amuse you, or do you see it as a waste of time with no real value?

Brap!

Thanks to GeorgieBOOM for bringing this video to my attention

To me this video typifies web video.

The vast majority of video I consume is online, made by independent “bedroom” producers.

Conventions that are typically used to engage the online viewer are fast cuts that often produce a jerky result. (This is vastly different to anything that I have seen used to engage a TV audience)

Cuts between shots are often at various different “interesting” angles

I think this video has the perfect mix of a professionally produced video crossed with the edgy editing this is used by bedroom web video producers

What do you think? I would love to hear you comments on this subject

The Translucent Hand

This was an accidental capture

I was trying to photograph the router for a storyboard and got my hand in the way. I like how the hand has become translucent
