I'll be interested when they start releasing 80" models but I'm sure someone need to buy a $2500 large screen TV for their doll house in the mean time.]]>Feb 14th 2010 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/Feb 14th 2010 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/
But I call BS on this being the world's largest seeing as this largest one is coming to consumers. I think LG's hiding a large 40" OLED screen in their labs somewhere watching Inglorious Basterds on it.]]>Feb 14th 2010 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/Feb 14th 2010 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/
There is the possibility of perhaps there isn't a mass demand for it like there was for LCD. I mean, don't get me wrong - *I* demand it very much so, but I suppose not everyone else does.

Think about it... when LCDs were warming up, they were replacing those huge, non high def, power sucking, totally unsexy CRTs. That was a massive change, perhaps one could even call it a revolution in display tech.

But now with OLED, although technically superior, just would not have the same "want" factor to the *average consumer* as the CRT-->LCD transition did. I think we've reached a level where the average consumer is happy with what he can afford at the store. Maybe a screen that's a bit bigger for his price range, but that's about it... at least for now, there's nothing totally awesome that you could offer an average consumer to entice him to buy a new TV if they already have a 1080p capable LCD TV. Even that - I've heard people saying they don't care about HD. I shed a tear at those moments.]]>Feb 14th 2010 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/
You're right, except that when OLED TVs finally hit mass production (I don't count having 2 or 3 available at my local Sam's club as mass production), then they are going to be cheaper and faster to make then LCDs. So, there doesn't have to be consumer demand. There is plenty of manufacturer demand. Because of this, they will force them on everyone when they are ready to be, Though i will happily trade up when that time comes.

How many could they have possibly sold?

It is great to see the size increasing and the price dropping but do they actually sell any of these things?]]>Feb 14th 2010 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/Feb 14th 2010 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/Feb 14th 2010 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/Two years later, LG 15 inch is coming out in 2010 at 2,500.

Assuming a linear relationship, we'll be getting 'real' OLED TV's around the 2022 mark (for 39').

Let's hope for a exponential model...]]>Feb 14th 2010 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/
At the same time, LTVs might find there way into the market as well, but what's probably going to overtake LCD (and subsequently plasma and DLP) is LED TVs. They're really just LCDs with LED backlighting (as opposed to CCFL), which results in lower power consumption, thinner displays, higher contrast, and overall better pictures, plus they're not incredibly expensive compared to regulars LCDs.]]>Feb 14th 2010 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/lgs-15-inch-oled-tv-on-track-for-mid-year-us-release/
You say 15" TV and people think, "Wow, that's small". You say 15" computer monitor and the thought is, "Not bad".

The uber-wealthy may even be willing to fork over the cash for the world's best looking monitor and actually use the thing, but I don't think a 15" TV really has a lot of practical value.]]>Feb 15th 2010 1:57AM
