Looks like the OLED TV revolution is starting...

[djkav]

LG is set to launch the first OLED TV for the consumer market later this year.

This should kick start the shift to OLED with other companies

55" screen, 4mm thick, excellent contrast and extremely small bezel.

cool. i will still wait for OLEDs to hit a decent price and have 1080p / 4k and glasses free 3d! i will still keep hold of my trusty tosh until then

Welcome to two months ago

There's a thread knocking about on here from when the reveal was made at CES, along with the Samsung TV as well.

cool i have been waiting for OLED for a while, hopefully by the time im back from afghan i can get one.

Now it's not often I say that, but that TV is jaw droppingly gorgeous!

These will be as expensive as plasmas were when they first came out. Be at least 5 years before anybody can make a 'best OLED for £500' thread. Still, it's the way forward tech-wise (as long as you can calibrate the thing properly!).

yup, forget it...... waste of money, there's also a laser RPTV, but i dont think that works properly yet

and i bet this new tv wont be much good either, it always takes a few years to get it right

 

[Jokester]

Over or under £5k?

 

[Mal X]

8 000 dollars , so i think in a recession like now that this will be a waste of money, especially when i can get a 60'' plasma for 850 quid

 

[Somnambulist]

$8000, so probably over £5K, lulz. There will be rich early adopters though, and the prices will gradually trickle down, much like that £20K Sony 4K projector being the first of it's kind for home use.

I don't like TV's with really small bezels like that, it's really distracting

Silver bezels are horrible, but being so thin it's beautiful

 

[MANFACE]

Looking forward to these, especially for gaming.

That's a good point.
With bezels so small these would be ideal for eyefinity

 

[Wizzfizz]

I'll be waiting a few years yet, I won't touch LG or Samsung.

 

[Begbie]

Can't wait!!!

Waiting on Panasonic smashing some new TVs 2015/2016 at a decent price

 

[Johnnytoxic]

I can't see the point in 4mm thick tv's unless the price is equal to top quality LED's.

Most tv's are in the corner of the room anyway. Who hasn't got 15mm to spare?

Good point.

In fact, I suspect that "compromises" will have been made to get it that thin. Reliability and "repairability" come into play when you start trying to fir a lot of tech into a small space.

whats the big deal? my projector screen is 1080p, 2mm thick, has no bezzel, no motion blur, and is whatever size i want




obviously contrast n blacks in day light conditions before anyone posts

 

[Somnambulist]

I would imagine by the the time OLED TVs are affordable for the general consumer, we'll be looking at 4k res displays too, which is equally if not more exciting. Hopefully 4k monitors will precede this - e.g. Apple doing 'retina' iMacs/Macbooks.
