Will 2014 be the year of OLED TVs?

LG isn't giving up on OLEDs just yet, they introduced a 55"-er that's less than a millimeter thick!

It hangs on the wall with magnetic tabs. I don't know if this particular model is flexible, I've read that they can be made so, to roll up for transport or put advertisements around columns, etc.

If my LG local-dimming LED burns out tomorrow, I'll be buying the LG 55" OLED the first time it goes back on sale for $3,000, even if it does have a damned curved screen.

Best Buy had this set on sale last weekend for $2,300! :eusa-clap: :eusa-clap: It's sad, and cruelly ironic, that that's how much a replacement iMac will be setting me back. :|

Thanks for the head's-up, Barney. :banana-dance:

You'll have to get someone elses bank account (Flint, Zing, or heeman).
EF9500's...$5499 for the 55" & $6999 for the 65".
Glad LG is coming out with the new tech/OLED's now, hope Vizio will follow with their new P and maybe R series & everybody else.

I looked at them on Amazon's site, it seems that both sizes are available in both curved and flat format; hopefully this will end this curved-screen nonsense.

Manufacturers felt the need to offer something new and from all indications they aren't selling well. As tech is rolled-out that will actually improve image quality I think (hope) that the silly curved screens go away.
