I know. I suspect people are confusing backlighting technology with display technology. It's understandable. They market them as as LED televisions. They didn't market the original LCD flat panels as flourescent TVs.

OLED is a truly exciting display technology if Sony can get the prices down and market larger displays. It is a true breakthrough.

The trouble with Sony is that they have been batting near .000 in the last decade or so when it comes to bringing out a new technology/product, supporting the technology, and providing customer support. I have learned this the hard way.

I would wait quite a while and NOT be an early adopter, particularly since there are still some issues regarding the life expectancy of the blue OLEDs.

  My days of early adoption are over. My three HD sets are 1080i and I won't upgrade to 1080p until each needs to be replaced. I didn't buy a BluRay player until I could get a floor model for under $100 and I don't own a single disc. I rent them from Netflix.
  
  Sony has has a checkered past as you mention. They effectively killed SACD as a medium and I'm still not convinced BluRay will not be replaced my something else. They are technological geniuses and business morons.
