Sony XEL-1 At Select Sony Style Stores For $2500, Available On Ebay For $1999

The Sony XEL-1 OLED TV is now available at select Sony Style stores for $2500. Yes, that means it's finally going to be available in the US. CNET questions why the same 11 inch model that's been selling in Japan for months now hasn't gotten any bigger since jumping the pond, especially because very few North Americans are willing to sport 11 inch televisions. Even with the state-of-the art OLED display and 1000000:1 contrast ratio. Could poor manufacturing yields be the result? High costs to manufacture bigger screens in other words?

Oh, and just so you know, there are still 3 Sony XEL-1's available on ebay for $1999, plus shipping of about $140, saving you $400 if $2500 is a tough pill for you to swallow.
