Per pixel, the new 4k OLEG displays are even cheaper -

The only thing I dislike about them is this idiotic "curved" design, which is not really for the benefit of the viewers, but done to achieve the necessary mechanical stability with less material / cheaper.

Also annoying is that even in 2015's youngest models, you cannot rely on the TV itself to display videos at decent bitrates, there's plenty of restrictions to deal with, basically forcing you to use external hardware for replay. Citation from the handbook of the LG 55EG9600:

Maximum data transmission rate:
  Full HD
   H.264 1920x1080@60P BP/MP/HP@L4.2 20Mbps
   HEVC 1920x1080@60P MP@L4.1, Main10 Profile@L4.1 20Mbps
  ULTRA HD Video [For ULTRA HD model only]
    H.264 1920x1080@60P 4096x2160@30P BP/MP/HP@L5.1 50Mbps
    HEVC 4096x2160@60P MP@L5.1, Main10 Profile@L5.1 50Mbps
 ...
 We do not support any stream that contains GMC (Global Motion Compensation)
 or Qpel (Quarterpel Motion Estimation).
...
ATTENTION: Your ULTRA HD TV may not support HEVC encoded contents that are
not officially supplied by LG. 

So don't think you could ask the TV to replay your just recorded raw GH4 .mp4 files... better keep your "HDMI-2-with-yuv4:4:4-support"-connected PC around...

Vitaliy, did you say you own an OLED? I almost got one as my hero monitor for my grading studio, but than I heard people where having issues calibrating them... is yours calibrated? If so what did you use to calibrate and how accurate did you get it?

I'm not concerned about small OLED pixels being "less stable" - the OLED displays of smartphones have much, much smaller pixels than any TV, and yet the OLED display of my years old Note2 did not loose any of its beauty.

For first, they are very different (except OLED :-) )

Second, time spent on TV is much more than tablet/phone usage time.

I got myself the above mentioned LG 55EG9609 today, and it's simply a "day and night" difference for the better in comparison to the Sony KDL 46W905A that I had to use as a replacement since my beloved Sony X4500 died.

LG technique is different to Samsung, as I said. It is something like your old time LCD, but with individual backlight (plus one pixel is also White to keep brightness).

OLED as monitor is even worse (for now) than TV. Pixels degrade, but not uniformly (blue degrade very fast).

Yet, picture, contrast and colors they make are very good (can tell you as owner of many OLED screens).

According to a report from inews24, Samsung Electronics is still evaluating the OLED TV market as it has conservative outlooks for the technology over the next few years, and instead believes that QLED TVs will be a better contender for the TV market, most likely starting in the high-end segment.

The structure of QD-LED is similar to the basic design of OLED. The major difference is that the light emitting centers are cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanocrystals. A layer of cadmium-selenium quantum dots is sandwiched between layers of electron-transporting and hole-transporting organic materials. An applied electric field causes electrons and holes to move into the quantum dot layer, where they are captured in the quantum dot and recombine, emitting photons. The spectrum of photon emission is narrow, characterized by its full width at half the maximum value

Thing here is that it will be cheaper.

However, blue quantum dots require highly precise timing control during the reaction, because blue quantum dots are just slightly above the minimum size. Since sunlight contains roughly equal luminosities of red, green and blue, a display needs to produce approximately equal luminosities of blue, red and green. The human eye requires blue to be about five times more luminous than green, requiring five times more power

Blue is still the issue.

Rumors published by the media in South Korea are stating that Apple is considering switching to OLED displays for iPhones shipping as early as 2018.

A report from BusinessKorea stated Apple is highly considering switching from IPS technology to OLED to improve the saturation and brightness of the device.

It can have huge consequences to TV and monitor market also.

LG has finally managed to build a "flat" version of their "curved" 4k OLED TVs:

Street prices of the curved model have dropped a lot since this was announced, in Germany, LG's 55EG9609 was recently sold for 2300,- € (while the flat model of the same size was announced to cost 5500,- US$ - considerably more than the curved model when it was new).

LG Display is forming alliances with China TV vendors for supplying OLED TV panels, which is expected to reach MOU signings in September, according to reports from Korea media.

Skyworth, Konka, Changhong, TCL and Hisense all have plans to mass produce OLED TVs and are expected to receive OLED supply from LG as the panel maker pushes forward with expanding its capacity

@karl

I always likes determination of Samsung management, they are like bunch of drunk sailors.

Meanwhile, LG Display will ship approximately 400,000-500,000 OLED TV panels in 2015 and over one million in 2016 as pricing drops as a result of increased yields, according to Korea-based Digital Daily

Things are improving slowly.

LG Display expects utilization rates for Ultra HD (4K) OLED TV panels to reach between 80-90% in 2016.

The company has already reached similar utilizations for Full HD OLED panels and expects 4K applications to rise by the end of 2016.

LG Display has solidified plans to achieve 75,000 substrates in monthly production at its 6G facilities throughout the first half of 2017 for curved OLED displays, according to Korea-based ET News.

This will be the panel maker's first 6G curved OLED production facility, which joins its 4.5G facilities that have a monthly capacity of 20,000 substrates.

That's so strange, I mean, all the Samsung phones use OLED.
