Looks like Samsung might beat them to the punch -
And the Samsung will go for about $9000+
 
Of course there is a lot happening which makes these numbers quite meaningless. Sony diving into the OLED TV market as well now as they don't want to get caught completely off-guard. LG and Samsung aren't the only ones producing OLED panels at this point either. I'm pretty sure that no one can say with any kind of certainty what the OLED landscape will look like at the end of this year.
 
I am in for an LG got to love how LG has taken off ever since they first came out, tempted into buying a tv this year to replace a tv i got last year but not sure if my wallet can fulfil my desires :(,
 
The question is will this be the Pioneer Kuro killer than I have been waiting for years?
 
People actually bought that kuro display? Can't ever seem to depend on pioneers for their tvs ever imo.
 
IMO I think LG's OLED will be better. LG are usually better at making displays. Look at current IPS monitors... all the panels come from LG.
 
Just hope for the price of OLED(100% pixel emiting) to be potentially smaller then QLED(combination of OLED and current technology), or we will be forced to live another 15 years of totally unwanted technology.. oh, I forgot, we will buy them anyway cause we are cheap and we don't care that the ophthalmologist will get rich...

For the price I sure as hell hope so. I bought my Kuro for retail ($4000! living in Canada sucks!) and even I would never spend that much money let alone more on another TV ever again.

eh mine has been going strong for 4 years. Don't know what you are talking about, they are the most burn in resistant plasma and are very reliable. They are made in the USA using high quality parts. Try finding "made in USA" on any Samsung or Panasonic.
 
LG had a opening launch recently, they're taking preorders now :)

LG+OLED+TV


For starters, we do know that the Samsung 55-inch OLED TV will boast of a contrast ratio of 150,000:1 and a 124% color gamut on NTSC standards, sporting a brightness level of 150cd/m2 alongside an all-white signal, not to mention having a peak brightness of 600cd/m2. It also comes with a response speed that is 0.001 second or faster, while the entire OLED TV measures just 1.6mm thick (or should we say thin?), tipping the scales at a featherweight 3.5kg. Dang, this means the entire TV might weigh less than some of the heavy duty desktop replacement notebooks out there!

Sharp is in the game, trying kick Korean butt :cool:

Sharp wants to revolutionize the display industry with their IGZO based panels. Sharp has unveiled their first OLED panels, including a 4K OLED and a flexible, high-resolution 3.4 inch OLED. Sharp has also developed extremely high-resolution LCDs, including a 6.1 inch LCD with 2560x1600 pixel resolution. All this has been made possible with IGZO.

Sharp has revealed their first OLED panels ever – and they are extremely promising. The panels have been produced utilizing Sharp’s IGZO TFTs that enables Sharp to create extremely high-resolution display panels (both LCD and OLED).

The first OLED panel measures 13.5 inches and is designed for laptops. It has an impressive resolution of 3840x2160 pixels – often referred to as 4K. Pixel density is 326 ppi (pixels per inch) and it is based on white OLEDs with color filters. This is extremely impressive, especially because it is Sharp’s first OLED prototype. Other manufacturers have struggled with producing high-resolution OLED panels but Sharp seems to have overcome that issue with IGZO, signaling the potential of IGZO based TFTs and production.

Sharp has also unveiled a 3.4” flexible OLED. Unlike most flexible OLED panels produced to date, Sharp has managed to create a flexible OLED panel with extremely high resolution. With its 540x960 pixels it has the same high 326 ppi density as the 13.5 inch panel – or similar to Apple’s iPhone 4S.

Sharp highlights two new high-resolution LCD panels for mobile devices. The first one is a 4.9-inch smartphone LCD display with 720x1280 pixels – or 302 ppi. The second one is even more impressive. It is a 6.1-inch LCD panel with 2560x1600 pixel resolution – or 498 ppi.

Sharp will exhibit all of the panels at the SID 2012 conference in Boston this week. No plans to mass-produce the panels have been announced at this point but Sharp says that if the demand is there for the new OLED panels, they will start production.

When we have a 27-30 inch Oled that can do 8k, then there is no need to run native res anymore, just scale it like CRT back in the day...

The price projection isn't impossible. OLED has the potential to become the cheapest TV technology ever conceived thus far. Raw material needed is already 75% less than traditional LCD's. Refining the production process however... we just need to wait and see.
