I've been seriously considering an OLED television, but there is one major factor that's been keeping me from getting one. I was waiting for the price to fall under $3000, and now it seems to have done so.
All of the ones I've been able to find are either curved, or 4K displays. I don't like the curve, and all my stuff still runs at 720p or 1080p at most. Fixed pixel displays tend to look awful when you try to scale up lower resolutions, so you almost have to run them at their native resolutions or at least something with the same horizontal resolution.
Do you think the delay in releasing 1080p panels is because they're trying to appeal to early adopters only right now, and we'll start seeing the 1080p panels when prices start to fall, or are they planning on pushing 4K to everyone whether they need/want it or not by the time OLED is mainstream? If they ever start making smaller OLED panels in quantity, I would think the benefits of 4K would be lost on a 32" or even 40" display.
