Sony XEL-1 The first OLED TV
Added 2020-11-01 11:29:27 +0000 UTCWhen I first started a tech blog - I hoped to regularly feature cutting edge, innovative technology like the then newly released Sony XEL-1.
Then almost over night the smartphone changed everything. The once consistent flood of a wide assortment of cool new tech devices dried to a trickle.
In the absence of interesting new gadgets, I started to focus more on innovations from the past. Thirteen years on from launch of the Sony XEL-1 it‘s now earned a place in that tech history curiosities category too.
It stands as a striking vision of what both Sony and myself mistakenly thought and hoped the future would look like, back in 2007.
In other news I think I’ve shaken the bug I‘ve had recently, so hopefully I can start to get things back on track. Keep well - stay safe and have a pleasant week.

I can’t see a way to turn them on or off at my end. The only option I have is to manually type subtitles in. I wish I had the time, but since I don’t work from a script, it’d take ages working from scratch.

I know they're sometimes not available for early release videos that haven't gone 'live', but this has been public for a few days now and they're still not showing for me. I'd like to watch this video properly but haven't been able to yet!
