OLED headed to the US

The next generation of display technology is finally coming to US shelves, albeit in a small, very expensive package. Sony announced at this week's Consumer Electronics Show that their XEL-1 11" OLED TV will be going on sale in the US - for a mere $2,500 (!). Of course, this is only the first step, and much more promising was the 27" prototype they demoed as well (Gallery here). It's positively gorgeous, and large enough to actually be useful outside the ultra-rich kitchen/bathroom demographic.
