Do you really think so? Sony just debuted its first OLED TV in the US in this month (it was out in Japan previously). It is a 27" for $2500. I think we won't even see a 40 or 50" OLED TV until Christmas 09, and I expect it to be priced around the $5000-$6000 mark at that time. In 2011-2012, I could see there being affordable OLED sets. Is there any particular reason why you think OLEDs are going to come down in price so rapidly? |
From day 1 when organic crystal LCD displays were announced they were promoted as being able to be much larger (I believe they can manufacture over 100 inch displays) and much less expensive to produce than a conventional display. Many of the manufacturers of these displays will look to make a good profit but are going to get into a two way "arms race" to increase the size of their TVs and to decrease their price. For Christmas 2009 I expect that these companies will be pushing their 60 inch to 80 inch TVs with price tags between $2000 and $6000, and their 32 to 60 inch TVs will be priced between $750 and $2000 ...
