who cares how thin it is if the base is that huge? is this just a 1st gen thing? what does that giant base even do? if you stick the base on the back of the oled then it's thicker than lcds. wtf.
imacmatt09 @ Oct 1st 2007 11:22PM
The base obviously contains the circuit board, power (inverter?) and all the ports and such. At least click though the pics. But seriously if you want the board built in it would probably have to have one hell of a Jay Leno chin and be a bit thicker.

Exactly. The design was obviously devised to make it look as thin as possible, but with that huge base it's completely meaningless.

That base apparently contains TV related components (including speakers).
Btw, the OLED part IS actually paper thin, but then it has to be sandwitched between the two supporting panels. (Like glass in front and some kind of metal on the back i suppose...)

MAny displays would be skinny without the controll board. The desing is nice, but yeah, whats the point?
daedric @ Oct 2nd 2007 6:31AM
Many screens wouldn't be skinny without the control board. Other screens are thick because of the backlights they use.
