I'm a little surprised because I was waiting Samsung to be the first company deal with OLED TVs.
It' seems that LG taking the lead in OLED TVs

The prices of the OLED TVs are still very high.

Almost $11.000 for a 65' tv (65EC9700) are too much.

issues:


- The difference is that OLED ...

... makes use of a carbon-based compound that emits light when struck by an electric current.

This allows TVs to do away with a backlight, meaning that pixels can offer deeper blacks when they are not in use, allowing manufacturers to boast improved contrast ratios - similar to what used to be available via plasma screens before they were discontinued.


- Samsung delay:

In January, Samsung's visual display division chief, HS Kim, told USA Today that it was proving difficult to manufacture OLED TVs, which in turn was making them too expensive for the vast majority of consumers. He added that this was unlikely to change for "three to four years".


- OLED 65in (165cm) obsolescence planning:

LG has also announced plans to release a 77in (196cm) 4K OLED model at an unspecified date.

- $
LG's forthcoming set will cost 12m won ($11,765; £7,095),

That is peanuts when compared with some gsm on sale on some boutique Avenue des Champs Elysees ...
