According to smarthouse.com.au, both LG and Samsung plan to introduce 55″ OLED TVs in time for the Summer Olympics in London next year.

LG had originally planned to release their 55″ LG OLED TV later in 2012 but with the potential introduction of the Samsung 55″ OLED TV LG has moved their planned date ahead to compete with Samsung.

There was a previous LG OLED TV available in a 15″ screen size, but low production numbers and a high price made it a scarce item, rather like the first Sony OLED TV. However, LG has said that the 55″ model will be available in limited numbers and industry watchers expect a fairly high price for these first decent sized OLED televisions.

Samsung has so far not produced any consumer model OLED TVs and it’s interesting to see a 55″ screen size as potentially their first model released to the public. More details from both manufacturers are expected at CES 2012 in Las Vegas in January.

 

 

How about a 55″ Apple OLED TV for Christmas next year? According to Smarthouse.com, Apple and LG may be in talks to bring out an Apple OLED TV later next year. No other details are available but this is great news for OLED TV fans.

 

A 55′ OLED TV from LG. By 2012. That’s the word from LG Display CEO Kwon Young-soo speaking as the company announced it’s second quarter results.

He also stated that LG will drop plans to produce any small or medium size OLED panels for mobile devices and tablets.

“We will make no more investment in the sector, judging that the OLED business is relatively less profitable than other products in the mobile sector.”

Instead, all efforts will now be concentrated on producing large size OLED televisions.

According to Kwon, ‘Initial production volume would be only tens of thousands of units due to limited production facilities, but we will expand them to a mass production system, observing market reactions.’

This is great news for OLED TV enthusiasts as a large screen OLED television is finally on the horizon.
