LG is is pushing hard to make OLED TVs go mainstream, and its latest move should go a long way toward making that happen. Today, the company announced it has slashed prices on its next-gen OLED TVs by 30 to 45 percent on specific  models, including a newly introduced 55-inch 1080p unit coming in at $2,000, which LG highlights as an industry first.

The price reductions apply to the new flat EF9500 series and curved EG9600 series 4K Ultra HD OLED TVs. “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,” said William Cho, President and CEO of LG Electronics USA.

According to LG, the company has made manufacturing more efficient, thereby allowing it to drop prices. The new 55-inch class Full HD Curved OLED TV, for example, is priced at $1,999; when LG sold its first-generation 55-inch class model two years ago, the price was a staggering $14,999. With LG’s new price tags, shoppers may increasingly opt for OLED instead of LED/LCD sets, as the cost is much more comparable while the former offers superior picture quality.

As DT’s Caleb Denison has pointed out in several of his OLED TV reviews, OLED technology delivers perfect black levels while delivering impressive brightness, resulting in industry-best contrast that contributes to outstanding overall picture quality, with exceptionally wide viewing angles.

LG’s lineup of OLED TVs now includes 55-, 65-, and 77-inch class sizes, both curved and flat, and 1080p Full HD and 4K Ultra HD resolutions. While cost still puts these televisions out of reach for the average family, LG is certainly making moves to eventually change that.

Samsung shows off the first two 77-inch QD-OLED 4K TVs at CES 2023
Samsung S95C QD-OLED 4K TV.

Samsung was the first company to show off a 4K TV based on QD-OLED technology at CES 2022, and now, at CES 2023 it has unveiled two new QD-OLED models -- the S95C Samsung OLED and S90C Samsung OLED -- and each will be available as 77-inch models. Both will also be offered in 55- and 65-inch sizes.  The news came one day after Samsung Display confirmed it would show its next-gen "QD-OLED 2023" panel at the show in a 77-inch size.

When QD-OLED-based TVs debuted in 2022, Samsung and Sony revealed the first two 4K TVs models within hours of each other: the Samsung S95B and the Sony A95K. Both TVs proved to be absolutely stunning in terms of picture quality, leaving our reviewer no choice but to award them a rare 10/10 rating. But the TVs themselves weren't especially large; only 55- and 65-inch sizes were introduced.

LG says its G3 OLED evo TV will be 70% brighter, with no visible wall gap
LG G3 OLED evo 4K TV seen wall-mounted.

Ahead of its official CES 2023 presentation, LG has given us a taste of its TV tech for the coming year, especially as it relates to the company's lineup of OLED TVs. Once again, the G Series takes center stage, with the G3 OLED evo 4K. LG says that thanks to its Brightness Booster Max technology, the 55-, 65-, and 77-inch G3 models will see an increase in brightness by up to 70%.

The G3 OLED evo will also look a lot better when wall-mounted. LG calls its new One Wall Design approach "ultra-seamless" and says that it will leave no visible gap between the wall and the G3. That's saying a lot considering the G2 OLED evo was already impressively tight to the wall when wall-mounted.

LG OLED Flex TV.

2022 has been a big year for LG's TVs, as the company has moved well beyond traditional wall- or stand-mounted models, into new designs that are targeted at specific audiences like gamers and those who want their TVs to be more than just black rectangles on a wall.

The company had previously introduced us to the bendable OLED Flex and the touchscreen-based StanByMe, but now, as part of the company's presence at the CEDIA show in Dallas, TX, LG has told us how much they'll cost. LG is also taking the opportunity to introduce a new model in its Objet series, known as the Posé -- a quirky, easel-like TV that has space for things like magazines on its rear shelf.
