    Can anyone imagine hooking something like this up to there laptop. Some people are saying that OLED is coming to laptops soon. I hope they do cause I love OLED. What kind of external monitors do people use with there laptops and for what reasons?

    OLEDs will not be coming to laptops (at least mainstream ones) for several years at the very least. While a great technology, only time will reduce it's weakness - the ridiculous cost.

    OLED technology has a few other weaknesses that need to be conclusively resolved before it will be present in laptops: poor readability outdoors, lower lifespan, burn-in, and high power usage when displaying primarily white content.
