LG 15" OLED TV on sale in December

We knew that LG's 15-inch OLED TV was entering into production this summer, now we've got a ship date: December. This according to an interview with Won Kim, LG's VP of OLED sales and marketing. While 15-inches is small, it easily trumps the world's first production OLED TV, Sony's $2,500 11-inch XEL-1, and is a reasonable size for the bedroom (if you must) or kitchen counter. No word on specs but we expect the production set to offer the same million:1 contrast, 1,366 x 768 pixel resolution, and 30,000-hour shelf life as the prototype unveiled in January. The TV will launch first in Korea for an undisclosed price that is bound to be punishingly expensive.

😀:beer:

It may not be quite there yet for 22 and 24" monitors for us but if you've seen the CES 09 video of this thing it's amazing- good to see production finally trickling through.
 
For how much this is going to cost I'm not fond of the 30,000 hour lifespan. Obviously...it will improve. But its still far from a "commercial" stage in my opinion.

3.4 years of 24/7 use isn't enough for you?
I mean, it's not great for the price, but by the time it's beginning to die the price will be a fair bit lower and a replacement will be affordable.
 
Laptops are not OLED. The point is that the technology is maturing to the stage it is being brought to market in large panels which means we are closer to a real revolutionary replacement to LCD.

It's so common for laptops, they already have 17 inch LED displays, I don't see why this is exciting.

Laptops are only using LED Blacklit displays. OLED is a more advanced and a better upcoming technology. We may have a true replacement for CRT's here shortly.
 
I remember when 15" was a good sized screen and 17" was big and 19" was immense and weighed like 150 pounds AND WE LIKED IT!

sure about that? I have never even heard of a flat screen crt that small. 17inches is the smallest flat screen crt I have ever seen.

Seems like we agree

Man, in 3-5 years I have a feeling OLED will have about 80% or more of the monitor/TV market. Should be nice.

The way technology has been going they could have something even better by then. 😀

Doubt it, OLED has been undergoing heavy R&D for upwards of 20 years now....takes a long time to get the molecules that work right.
 
Sorry, my mistake.

Since these things are transparent, we should be stacking them on top of each other to make 3D display cubes.
