LG's 55-Inch OLED Will Run Around $10,000
Thu May 24, 2012 at 01:15 PM ETTags: LG, OLED TVs (all tags)
The finalized design reveals an even slimmer TV – just 4mm thick.
We're nearing closer and closer to the big day – the day when a relatively reasonably priced OLED hit the market. LG's 55" set design has been finalized and LG has even given a price estimate of approximately $10,000.
One of the cool new features of the TV that was added between E3 and now is a carbon fiber backing, which allows LG to take a millimeter off of the thickness. The 55EM9600 is now coming in at a miniscule 4mm.
There's no word yet on when the set will be released, but LG says that the initial July estimate is unlikely.

LG's 55 Inch OLED Coming in May at $7,900
Wed Apr 04, 2012 at 12:00 PM ETTags: OLED TVs, LG (all tags)
Apparently the company will start aggressively hitting the consumer market just after the Cannes film festival.
OLED tech has been shown off for quite some time and there was a point when it seemed like it was something that only worked in theory. The technology worked of course, but the price point meant that it was something that could never come to the consumer market. Sony's tiny and crazy expensive OLED didn't do anything to change that perception.
LG is going to be the first to bring a reasonably sized OLED set to the market at a not-too-crazy price. The 55 inch 55EM9600 will be coming in May at right around $7,900. It's more than your average LCD or Plasma set, but it's a premium that early adopters may be willing to pay.
The 55EM9600 is just 4mm thick and it weighs in at 16.5 pounds. LG says you can expect a response time of 0.1 microseconds.

Corning Lotus Glass Will be Used on Samsung OLED TVs

It's also going to be used on handheld and IT devices.
Corning made a big impact with Gorilla Glass, boasting the strongest glass around which allows for thinner, lighter devices that still take a beating. Their newest creation is a bit different. It's called Lotus Glass, and it aims to give the best picture possible.
Samsung Mobile Display has just announced that it will be teaming up with Corning to put Lotus glass on new mobile products that sport OLED screen. This doesn't translate into immediate use on TVs, but then again, Samsung doesn't have an OLED out at the moment.
Samsung says that the partnership with its mobile division will lead to integration with more devices, including large OLED TVs.

Samsung Announces New TVs at CES Including a 55" OLED
Wed Jan 11, 2012 at 10:00 AM ETTags: Samsung, LED TVs, Plasma TVs, OLED TVs, CES 2012 (all tags)
LG isn't the only company bringing a living room sized OLED to market in 2012.
Samsung kicked CES off with a bang, announcing new televisions in their plasma and LED backlit lines, but the big news is the company's 55" OLED display.
The folks at Samsung are referring to their new set as the Super OLED TV. It gives you everything you'd expect from an OLED set - fast response time, bright colors, deep blacks, slim design - and adds a few extra features. One of the most interesting is a Smart Interaction camera, which gives you Kinect-like voice and gesture control as well as facial recognition to easily switch user profiles. There's been no price announced for the Super OLED TV and no specific release date though Samsung does expect to have it on the market in 2012.
As usual, Samsung put a great deal of emphasis on their LED backlit sets. At the high end are the UNES8000 and UNES7500, both of which offer micro dimming for a brighter and more accurate picture as well as all the Smart TV features you've come to expect. One big change - they're utilizing a dual-core processor.
Samsung has plans for plasma as well, as shown by the PNE8000. The set features a new bezel design which includes a transparent border which Samsung says will create a more immersive experience. The 8000 also has the deepest black levels yet in Samsung's plasmas thanks to the Real Black Pro Panel.
All of Samsung's new higher-end TVs offer 3D and Smart TV capabilities as well as dual-core processors and a few other extras.
