LG has always been at the forefront of OLED TV development. This year, the company demonstrated a 31-inch OLED screen at the CES trade show.
From a 3D perspective, this TV produces by far the best image quality we've ever seen. The OLED panel is so bright and colourful that it's a natural companion for 3D content. LG is still very keen on using passive 3D technology too, which we approve of, because the glasses are cheaper and more comfortable than active-shutter versions.
This telly is also fantastic as a plain old high-definition TV. These OLED screens have a nearly infinite contrast ratio, with zero crosstalk -- the double-imaging effect that blights 3D-capable LCD TVs -- and a virtually unlimited viewing angle. A 600Hz display also means that you should get a very smooth image and exceptional 3D performance.
None of the above factors even take into account how beautiful these TVs look. They might have been around for a few years now, but we're always captivated by their thin screens and funky designs.
We honestly can't wait to buy an OLED TV, and we're told that LG's offerings will go on sale this year. Could OLED finally be on the verge of hitting the mainstream? Will these TVs be remotely affordable? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

I'm guessing £900 for the 31inch.

I read £6000. Here's hoping they can release a 50" for £6000 or less in 2015.

A 50" OLED for £6k? maybe from hannspree or alba, or even bush if you're lucky!. 5 years is a long of time for the technology to seep into main consumer distribution, but 50 inch is a demanding screen size for this technology.

Double whatever it should be (like every other telly on the market!)

Pointless until this tech can match the benchmarks in size from the other established technologies. OLED looks great, but why bother if you can only buy a 31" TV, it's just not going to gut it for 3D home cinema.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Neither the retailers nor the manufacturers are making much (if any) profit.

Hi mate, basically lehmans terms, most manufacturers in electronics, particulary in TV's and such make near 5% max on profit when tv's are first released. Due to the fact that theres so much competition...
the reason TV's have been stagnant for a long time is because LCD's are so cheap to manufacture so they have gone for those as it's easy profits (for once)..
It's nice to see LG still inovating though and trying to push forward new technology and when this comes to the market at a reasonable price/performance.. it will be fun to see some manufactuers fall on their ass..
mainly samsung (sony has oled tech too and is working with LG now as apposed to separately) and panasonic has it's Plasma range which is nigh on unbeatable to other tv's at the moment.
everyone else is shooting theirselves in the foot and has happened in many parts of electronics (most notably hard drives in the past few years around SSD first came out)
