I'm very very interested in anything tech, and Apple are always interesting to watch and see what they are doing.
However...
Apple trying to compete in the TV sector is like someone trying to compete in the coke/pepsi/cola market; you either make something cheaper than the competition and attempt to copy their design, or you try and create something new and original but charge the earth for it.
Hate to say it but you just can't compete in this industry and get a significant foothold. Those that want a quality TV will buy the usual suspects, like LG, Panasonic, Sony, Samsung and all the other volume producers. Those that would want "An Apple TV" are probably already using the little box they supply.
Happy to eat my words, but a successful, competitive and reasonably priced TV that doesn't have the 'lifestyle' BS attached to it, complete with a video that has lots of white backgrounds and voiceovers about the pneumatic pressure applied to the aluminium to justify the high cost are probably beyond Apple's reach.
I guess they have put themselves in a position where if they didn't release an super expensive TV, people would not buy it; but they will and people will still not buy it én mass

Point of order! ITV is already in use.

Have fun fixing/replacing the tv in about 3-4 years.
One of the reasons why none of the big ones is selling OLED in big numbers, is the extremely short life compared to CFL/LED.

65" OLED? There are going to be a lot of dead TVs. The tiniest bit of damage or the slightest air leak and the entire thing dies. Not instantly, but within hours.
At least at large sizes like 65"+ they won't pull a Samdung and make it Pentile... you'd hope.

Humm maybe they solve the oled flaws and bring down the cost, I would love oled pc monitors that thing looks like a window, no gimmick.

this excites me as i been waiting years and years for oled screens so maybe it close to reality.
I would still never buy any apple product though.

it's curious seeing apple move camp to the oled displays. but this actually excites me, oled screens have ridiculous contrast which make up for superb images.
like someone said above, like a window. no joke. always prefered samsung's smartphones' screens over that retina bs, I never understood why anyone would prefer retina. the contrast is ok now, but it used to be absolutely horrid. nice colors, but throw in some black in there and you just want to throw the device out the window, they were really bad.
I remember when a friend of mine was flashing his iphone 4s a few years back praising it's screen. it was a huge joke compared to my sgs1.
unfortunately the prices on this tv will most likely be astronomical. I don't think apple will be able to compete with the giants (LG, Panasonic, Samsung, etc).
