LG prices 31-inch 3D OLED TV

I'll say this, that's a sick motha-f-in tv. Dunno if its worth THAT price, but still slick

Plasma, LCD, LED, OLED, 3D, BRAVIA, HDTV, 1080p, 720p, 480p, 600Hz, 120Hz...

How about a 31" TV that does not cost $7700...oh wait; they did that decades ago.

This is just how it was when plasma hit retail. An enormous price tag and people yelling how it's ridiculous and will never catch on.

Now look at the prices of plasma and lcd. Obviously oled isn't geared towards the average consumer right now, but at least we can see what we'll be buying in the next 4~5 years once manufacturing costs drop.

Agreed. It always take a little time for new tech to trickle in the market. Hopefully will see 50"+ at around $2000 by that time. Who knows, only time will tell though.

I wasn't aware that plasma hit the mainstream...it looks like crap, has terrible refresh rates, and it still costs too much. I knew LCD would take off...and it did, but plasma seems limited to big screens where LCDs would be impractical...it is the modern version of a rear projection screen, while LCD is the modern version of tube screen. The question is simple...if OLED costs more than LCD and cannot be used in a big screen, then where will they find a home?

I don't even know where to begin with this.
