Well, it’s looking likely!
LG may be about to take on Sony in the OLED Television market. A new OLED TV by LG is expected to be released for sale in Australia and worldwide in 2010. The news that it is expected to be priced at around $4000, and will be 15 inch, is causing a buzz, as Sony is still selling its two year old OLED 11 inch model for around $7000 through Sony Stores. The display area of the LG TV is 40% bigger than the current Sony television and prices are tipped to fall even further as production increases to meet new demand.
The LG OLED TV is expected to be available in Korea and the US in November.
The panel is only 1.7mm thin. It has a 1366×768 pixel resolution and boasts a contrast ratio of 100,000:1.
