Now that 1080p OLED TVs are borderline affordable, it’s time to turn your lust to a new unattainably expensive type of set. For your consideration, LG has just unveiled two new big-screen Ultra HD (4K) TVs that are also OLED panels.
Although 4K OLEDs were practically everywhere at CES in January, these will be the first ones you can buy. It’s no surprise that they’re coming from LG, as the company is the only big-name manufacturer that is actively producing OLED TVs at the moment. Preorders for the two TVs begin in South Korea immediately, but there is no pricing or release information for the U.S. or Europe just yet. However, both sets will be on display at the IFA show in Berlin next week.
You’ll have two 3,840-x-2,160 panels to choose from, and they’re both curved displays. Despite the concave screens, LG says the 65-inch 65EC9700 and the 77-inch 77EG9700 will both be wall-mountable with the appropriate bracket.
Both sets will run LG’s latest WebOS-based smart platform that was announced earlier this year, but no full spec sheet for either set is available yet. It is safe to assume that they will be ridiculously expensive at launch; last year, LG’s first 55-inch OLED set was first priced at $15,000—and it had a smaller screen and a lower resolution than either of these new models.
