Samsung announced their first production OLED TV this week. The ES9500 will launch the second half of 2012 in Korea for the equivalent of $9000. The ES9500 is the production version of the test units first shown at CES 2012 earlier in the year. OLED TV's have a ridiculous contrast ratio that makes its image seem like moving photo paper that "pops" right off of the screen. Each individual pixel has it's own backlighting resulting in vivid details and super thin screens. Don't be fooled by the picture above...looks so clear it seems "photoshoped" but it's the real deal. I believe this is the real future of HDTV's as 3D will always be a niche market for gaming/movies and "4K Ultra Resolution" TV's will not take up meaningful market share for another decade. Can't wait to buy an OLED TV when the price drops! Anyone got $9000 to spare in the meantime?
