"LG showcase a 55 inch OLED-Television panel at the CES-2012, now we got more pictures and details about the world largest OLED-Tv from LG-Display.
The panel has a thickness from only 4 mm and weights only 7.5 kg. The contrast ratio is over 100.000:1 and the reaction time is 1000 times faster than the LCD-technology. The panel refresh rate is less than 0.1 microseconds. LG has also developed a Triple XD engine to drive the picture with Dynamic Color Enhancer, a Contrast Optimizer and a Resolution Upscaler.
The 55EM9600 OLED Tv can show images in 2D and in 3D and the device features a 2D to 3D converting system for viewing standard 2D material with a realistic 3D effect.
This 55 inch OLED-Tv is only a prototype but LG want to ramp up a production line in Q2 2012. LG Display use a Oxide-TFT backplane, which is cheaper to produce with the same picture quality. LG says also that they use a white OLED with color filter design. This technology was purchased from Kodak in 2009. Digitimes are reporting also that LG put its 55-inch AMOLED TV to production. We think that the price of this panel could be about 10.000-15.000 dollars.The model number will be 55EM9600."

....and to $2,000 the following year and then $1,000 and then .....
I purchased a Samsung 50 inch plasma about 5 years ago for right at $2000. We just bought my wife's son one for $575. My wife, 6 years ago, purchased a 32 inch 720P Sony LCD for about $2000. We just bought an LG 32 inch for $260 !!
I remember when the first 40 inch new technology TV's (can't remember if they were plasma or LCD) was $20,000!!
Love the advancement in technology.
I hear you. I bought the first 1080p TV in US which as a 40 inch Samsung LCD for $5,000! Then again, I am not sure what the difficulties in large OLEDs are so don't know how to predict the price curve.
Me too, I am simply amazed at what you can buy today for so little money!
* A good quality Panasonic or Samsung plasma 3D HDTV 65" can be now purchased for only $1,200! WoW!

Haven't hit the show floor but there is a downer on this from Sony. They announced the same thing as others but not calling it OLED but "Crystal" TV: http://ces.cnet.com/8301-33363_1-57...stal-led-display-at-ces/?tag=TOCmoreStories.0
Problem is that they are saying it is just a prototype and not going to ship for a while. Sadly that is what I thought I would happen. As the saying goes, "too good to be true!"
Hope to probe LG and Samsung people on the show floor in the next couple of days.

Then again Samsung is still saying second half this year. But for a model without name and price, I doubt it: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2398590,00.asp
"LAS VEGAS – Samsung isn't going big with HDTVs or focusing on 3D technology like other companies at CES 2012 (though it has its fair share of both), but is instead going back to a technology that made a splash a few years ago but didn't see significant action: OLED screens. The company announced its first consumer-available Super OLED HDTV, an as-yet-unnamed 55-inch screen that will be available in the second half of this year...."

"AVAILABILITY: LG said fourth quarter of this year, tentatively. Samsung only said "this year."

I know exactly what you mean .. I bought one of the first HD DVD for over $600 and thereafter a Pioneer BD Player fr over a $1000.. Recently picked up a Samsung BD PLayer with all the bell and whistles ( Internet, Netflix, Pandora, etc) and 3 D for $75 open box !! I didn't compare it to the Oppo BD I am presently using but I doubt there would be much difference in PQ ..
Back on topics ..
This set thickness (or thinness) is amazing ..

Going to see the OLED display today but by all accounts everyone who has seen it including its 3D feature were left speechless.
Post!...Post!!!...POST!!!!! Let us know what you think. You've got a pretty great screen at home as i recall with a forward projector...i think you had one of those digital animation screenshots...a mouse in chef's clothes brewing a soup or something?
Ratatouille Lee; the correct spelling. :b
* Steve, could you please steal one of those LG 55" OLED HDTV set for me? Thank you! :b

I saw all three. The LG was most accessible and in the open. Samsung was showing some screwy dual-screen demo on it. Sony had one unit. Overall, the picture quality is stunning.
They all insisted the units would ship in the second half but their eyes would tell a different story. It just didn't seem believable they way they would talk about it.
Then again, the did not have schedules for most of their flat panels! It is as if they had all agreed it is OK to show up at a show, display 50 new models and not think they need to provide pricing or schedule! Good news is that there is progress on existing technology. The edge-lit LED backlit LCD is getting quite good with a lot more regions, reducing its artifacts. The Samsungs were especially good.

The saga contiues..... http://ces.cnet.com/8301-33379_1-57...600-oled-tv-wins-best-of-ces/?tag=epicStories
"Of course, one of the two had to win Best of CES, and after lengthy discussions between Ty and me, we gave it to LG. The main reason has nothing to do with which one we think will give better picture quality, or even which feature set or design we like best. It's mainly because we got more information from LG at press time, including a model number and official shipping date (Q3). Samsung chose to hold these details back--perhaps until its traditional March product rollout--but CES is now.
I do believe both companies' claims that their OLED TVs will ship this year, but having been burned by products that shipped late or not at all after a CES announcement, I just think that the more public information a company is willing to divulge, the better."

That would be quite a change if LG was going to take the lead in HDTVs (LCD LEDs & OLEDs).
The last few years, Samsung & Panasonic were the leaders (Plasmas & LCD LEDs).
And before that, Pioneer Elite Kuros (Plasmas).
Sony? Were they ever in the lead? ...In the 80s? Before? After?
Anyway, those years are long gone by now...
You gotta keep in touch with reality, in the NOW. :b
P.S. Funny how Sony always used different acronyms.
From ages ago to still now. And how they charge more, plus for the extras as well...
Do they think they are better?
* I'm glad that the winds are changing direction in our lives...

Almost sounds to me like they wanted to give the Best In Show to Samsung.
Anyway, I'm glad that LG got the nod regardless, since now they have some major quality recognition, which means consumers have another viable option.
