If you’re not satisfied with the current LED/LCD TV offerings, and can’t wait for OLED technology to burst onto the big screen scene, you’re in luck: Samsung will launch OLED TVs in the second half of 2012, the AP reports.Two potential obstacles might prevent you from getting one, though: The TVs will initially be launched in South Korea, at a price of 10 million won, which is approximately $8,750.
For comparison, 55-inch LCDs from Samsung can be bought for as little as $1,000, while high-end models go up to $3,000.
While the Korean launch means we’ll probably see OLED TVs in the global market soon thereafter, Samsung’s head of TV business said it will take two or three more years for OLED TV technology to go mainstream.
Samsung showcased the 55-inch OLED TVs at this year’s CES, amazing us with their thinness, sharpness and color quality.
