The LG OLED TV, a 15″ model is now available in stores, but only in South Korea.

There are not too many details but the price is rumored to be similar to the Sony XEL-1 OLED TV. In other words, still really expensive.

I’m hoping to review a larger sized LG OLED model as soon as CES 2010 opens in a day or two.

This next year will be pivotal for OLED TV. WIth CES 2010 due to start in a few days, all eyes are on Las Vegas to see what the TV manufacturers will have on display.

More important though is will they have anything available to consumers? It’s been 2 years since the Sony XEL-1 was released to the public. It’s understood that Sony may be losing money on each XEL-1 OLED TV as the price is far too high to interest the general public and production costs are steep as well.

What we may see at CES are the following:

Sony OLED TV

Samsung OLED TV

LG OLED TV

Speaking of LG OLED technology, here’s some news from Kodak:

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Dec. 30 — Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) announced today that it has completed the previously announced sale of its OLED (organic light-emitting diode) business to an entity set up by a group of LG companies.

This move will tighten Kodak’s investment focus and strengthen its financial position. Financial details were not disclosed.

“As we said earlier this year, OLED is one of the businesses we wanted to reposition to maximize Kodak’s competitive advantage at the intersection of materials and imaging science,” said Laura G. Quatela, Kodak’s Chief Intellectual Property Officer and manager of the company’s OLED business. “This action is consistent with that strategy. Our OLED intellectual property portfolio is fundamental; however, realizing the full value of this business would have required significant investment.”

Be sure to visit in the coming weeks for OLED TV reviews from CES 2010

Sony has introduced a number of new products at CES 2009 in Vegas. HD camcorders, internet enabled Bravia LCD TVs and more.

Visitors to the Sony booth will be able to see more Sony OLED TV prototypes on display. I’m guessing these will be thinner and even more impressive than what was shown last year.

However, no news yet on a new consumer ready OLED TV from Sony. There are predictions and rumors of a 27″ Sony XEL-2 OLED TV but that remains to be seen.

Another Sony OLED TV review from Gary Krakow at TheStreetTV. He reviews the much anticipated (at least a year ago anyway) OLED TV from Sony and says it may be the best ever.

Here’s a short video clip showing the Samsung OLED TV display at IFA 2008 in Berlin. Samsung has their 14″ and 31″ OLED TV models at the exhibition.
