It turns out he’s not the only one who thinks OLED TVs are too expensive; apparently, Samsung feels the same way.
In a new report from South Korean publication The Elec, the outlet says Samsung and LG Display, makers of OLED panels, are struggling to agree on the new units.
If the two companies reach an agreement until the end of May, Samsung can still meet its goal of offering new OLED TV models before the end of the year.
However, if they can’t, resources say Samsung is unlikely to produce finished OLED TVs in 2022.
The news is that Samsung’s QD-OLED model, the Samsung S95B, is still on the market in the meantime, as are LG’s high-end LG C2 OLED and LG G2 OLED models.
We contacted Samsung for comment on the factor and will update this story when we contact you.
While we completely agree with the existing variety of OLED TVs on the market (we enjoy the C2 and G2 OLEDs), we hope that an agreement can be reached between the two parties. According to rumors, Samsung’s OLED TVs look quite attractive from a functionality standpoint. , and more OLED features typically mean higher costs for the rest of us and more overall innovation in the coming years.
We will wait and see how this scenario is resolved and keep our eyes open in case Samsung makes the decision to delay the launch of the yet unannounced OLED TV models. Until then, there are still LG OLEDs. See all the most sensible selections on our most productive OLED TVs page.
