Samsung & LG HDTV prototypes battle for supremacy

Samsung and LG are locked in a tight race for "best HDTV you won't be buying this year or next" this week at the International Meeting on Information Display 2008, trading shots with OLEDs, LCDs and more. Samsung brought along an upgraded version of its true 240Hz 15-inch Blue Phase LCD panel with improved image quality, some fresh carbon nanotube-based color electronic paper, plus slimmed-down versions of its 40- and 50-inch LCDs. Then it got busy with the OLEDs, dropping in a 14-inch HD display, 31-inch 1080p display and 5-inch VGA panel, to which LG could only respond with the above 19-inch OLED powered by amorphous silicon TFT. More stills of the carnage exist beyond the read link, but in the battle of display tech streeting in 2011 at the earliest, we just hope LG is holding back a few surprises for CES.

If you two would do that in a kiddie pool full of mud, you could make some serious cash.

I want that 31-inch 1080p OLED!!! But not ready to pay more than $2k for it, so I guess its a LONG wait for me...

Umm....Sony is selling the 11" XEL-1 OLED for $2499.

I don't expect a 31" OLED to be anywhere below $4,000.
Until OLED becomes mainstream and become very affordable and reliable....dream on my friend.
