LG OLED Pricing and Availability

By Scott Wilkinson • Posted: Apr 2, 2012

When LG announced the EM9600 55-inch OLED flat panel at CES last January, its price and availability were not included in the press release, leading to unbridled speculation. Well, it seems that speculation can now be put to rest. According to an article from Korean outlet MK Business News, LG plans to stage a big launch event at the Cannes Film Festival in May, moving its timetable up from the second half of the year to take advantage of the demand that will surely accompany the 2012 Olympics this summer. And the price? Approximately 9 million Korean won, which is right around $8000.

Not bad

Not too bad of price for a first generation set. I doubt they'll sell many of them though, but at least it's a start. I'd pay $8k for a 92 inch model though :)

The OLED panels look very promising. The panels are so incredibly thin. I look forward to the HT review and will reserve judgment until then. It will be a first generation product, so who know what issues there might be. Hopefully, they will be a standout products.

I agree I can't wait to read

Glad to be of service. Waited outside the conference room at CES to say hello, but I guess you were running late. Maybe next year.

It is good to know if they are going to public LG's price and availability because there are a lot of purchasers who are waiting for them. LG is good brand with high quality product that's why they have lots of buyers.
