Few gadgets turn heads the way Sony's latest flat-screen TV does. The small XEL-1 is kitchen-sized at 11 inches, but its svelte 3mm display boasts technology that is home theater-worthy. The XEL-1 is Sony's first OLED television released in the US, and like the smaller OLEDs used in mobile phones, uses rows of glowing, organic semiconductors that reduce power usage and need for a traditional backlight. That allows the XEL-1 to be impossibly thin and still boast a crisp 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio and snappy bright colors. It also features a glossy base and bezel, and a price-tag befitting any technological first.
Price: $2,500
