Hey, I've got an question. I do know Sony has made OLED TVs few years ago.
If Sony, Samsung, LG whatever company had OLED technology years ago, why didn't they make OLED TVs back then???

4-5 years ago, the manufacturing capabilities weren't there.
But now, the company has the capability and efficiency to mass produce at a much cheaper cost.

Sony does not have the factories for mass production and they are also behind technology.

LG is coming out with TVs this year that are printed so they can mass produce them cheaper.

Samsung is very unlikely to come out with a TV this year.

OLEDs have been around for a while in smaller venues such as the PSP and Android stuff. It wasn't technically feasible of producing larger screens and has taken some work to do that. My guess is that it is still a work in progress though and I won't be in any hurry to jump on one ( I have two 42" HDTV's as it is ).

Not that the technology for OLED weren't there. But companies like LG already had the technology but they were just trying to monitor the market and making sure that their technology shouldn't be copied by other companies i think. They were equally looking for the right time to pop-in their new OLED TV. And if you look at LG's OLED TV you will notice that it is quite different from others in that it is simple, thin, and has a beautiful design.

Put it this way, the highest contrast ratio EVER in a TV, the fastest speed (0.012 ms), the slimmest design, 4mm, a 0.9 mm bezel, ..thats all I'm going to say.

This is not 100% but close Oled TVs have better off axis viewing, very fast refresh rates, they look very nice, have the best level of color reproduction. They don't have the highest contrast ratio that goes to pure LED TVs and seeing how those will never make in to the commercial market. Oled does have the highest available contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1 and up to much more.

Not ever - CRTs are tied for the contrast glory, and can be refreshed quicker with absolutely no ghosting.

There is nothing producing 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio. There is the appearance of that contrast ratio, but that is a fictitious number. You will find the real number is much, much lower. CRT's, the continuing top dog in contrast, are capable of 100,000:1 native contrast. LCD, LED-LCD, and other similar technologies all rely on lighting tricks during specific scene types to attempt to increase contrast ratios "up to" 5,000,000:1. There is a fairly distinct difference between panel capabilities, and marketing gimmick.

Apart from the wonderful entertainment that one can get from OLEDTV, is there any other benefits that we can get from this wonderful OLED tech, like in decorating our living rooms? Can it equally be harmful to our kids just in case they try to play with it when it is on? As you know TV sets do emit some rays.

According to the news on techradar.com site, consumers in UK are really waiting anxiously to get the LG OLED TV which is not even up to 4mm thick and weighing <7.5kg. It goes further to say that apart from the OLED panel that will feature in UK, other products like the Smart TV with dual core processor, WiFi, freeview HD, and the LG magic remote will all feature. I can imagine the kind of excitement that the early adopters may be having right now.
