The company is offering big discounts on its OLED displays.
LG has announced an aggressive price cut for its OLED TV lineup. In an effort to bring the technology to the mainstream market, the manufacturer is enacting a 30 - 45% price reduction for its flat EF9500 series and curved EG9600 series 4K Ultra HD OLED TVs. In addition, the company is also releasing the new 55EG9100 1080p curved-screen OLED for just $1,999!
"OLED TV is not just a new TV — it's an entirely new category of television that delivers what experts and consumers alike are hailing as the best picture ever, a clear indication that OLED is here to stay," said William Cho, President and CEO, LG Electronics USA. "LG is the first and only manufacturer to deliver OLED TV to U.S. consumers, and our vision is to make this revolutionary technology more attainable by more consumers at prices comparable to many LED TV models on the market."
OLED technology offers superior contrast, black levels, uniformity, and viewing angles over traditional LCD panels. Though the tech was once notorious for its high costs and low yield rates, LG has now made significant stride in manufacturing efficiency, allowing them to now price their sets comparably to many of today’s premium LCD/LED TVs. Here's a rundown of the current LG OLED pricing, including instant rebates which will remain in effect for the rest of the year:
