  Would be nice to see specific energy consumption values. I heard OLED is actually not that much better than LCD. Just saying they use less energy doesn't really say much. They may use a couple percent less, but that is not nearly enough by itself to justify a much higher cost. Would be nice to see one though, if the display quality is much better and thickness is much less, that would be more important for me as a consumer anyway. LCD may consume more than we'd like, but it is negligible percentage of my overall power costs.
