One of the most interesting stories to come out of CES 2012 is about a pair of technology demonstration displays that were tucked away in the Sony booth. Labeled “CrystalLED”, these 55″ HDTV panels were quite different from any other display that has been marketed as an “LED HDTV” in recent years. These panels actually [...]

Excellent image?
Sorry to disagree,
I was at CES and viewed the demonstration Sony did of is set compared to their top of the line LCD side-by-side. The set was not exactly "tucked away" but rather shown in two places, one as above, and another one was alone surrounded by a belt for attendees not to get close and with two Sony employees flanking the set, in a very obvious spot in the booth.
I returned to the viewing several times during the 6 days because I could not believe that Sony could have shown this set in such poor conditions; it actually made look their LCD better and true to real objects and colors, and I am not an LCD fan.
If I were Sony I would not have shown the set not even as a prototype, and to make the situation worst it was shown on the same show LG and Samsung showed stunning OLEDs that will be available this year.
For starters the white SONY logo shown in the image at the beginning of the trailer was correctly white in the LCD but was pink on the Crystal; all the content in the Crystal had so much red push that was pitiful to see it. An off-white wall on the boat clip showed correctly at the LCD but showed as light red/pink on the Crystal, the reds on the braking lights of cars showed so exaggerated and oversaturated in the Crystal that exceeded the light-assembly of the cars bleeding toward the car body, a peatonal street under trees receiving accents of green and dirt color (correctly in the LCD scene) showed pink on the Crystal.
Sets have to be seen in order to make proper judgement.
