Sony OLED TV Teardown Tuesday, April 15 • 2:45pm – 3:30pm See a live teardown of Sony 11” OLED TV: While still a diminutive cousin compared to today’s large LCD and Plasma flat panels, Sony’s 11” OLED TV breaks new ground in technology, panel thin-ness, contrast ratio (and at $2000, price per diagonal inch of display!). We’ll tear the Sony XEL-1 down to see what makes it tick and how Sony went about forging new ground in the highend TV market. Gibson Robot Guitar Teardown Wednesday, April 16 • 2:15pm – 3:00pm Gibson has been an aggressive technology adopter of late.

It may not make you sound like Van Halen, but it will help keep you locked in to proper pitch – tin-ear players rejoice!
