The real TVs of the future are now at CES 2013, but will consumers ever be able get their hands on them? The answer is not anytime in the near future. What is shown in the videos is a concept of both Sony and Panasonic’s 4K OLED TV. So, there isn’t a price tag or release date for these TVs. However, the next few years are certainly going to be exciting as OLED 4K (3840 x 2160) TVs make their way into consumer’s households.
These TVs are a result of Sony and Panasonic’s joint effort to build and manufacture OLED TV’s. Additionally, it really is no surprise that the host of the first video states that this was the best looking TV he has ever seen.

I’m sure by the time these are available my 46″ 1080p TV will have burned itself out – or I’ll have intentionally smashed it! 😆
Heh. Yeah, either that or they will still cost an insane amount. I’m not even sure if 1080p OLED displays will be cheap enough by 2015. I can only hope that 4k OLED will be cheap enough in 3 years time (2016), but it could be longer.
I think the most beneficial use of OLEDs in the sorter term (next year or so) would be for laptop displays. Current laptop displays are the most atrocious displays on the market. They have absolutely horrible vertical viewing angles, color accuracy, resolutions, etc. Manufactures definitely need to start looking into OLED displays for laptops, and I mean now!
I’ll take a 14″ OLED anti-glare (matte) 1600×900 display for my next laptop :thumbsmile: .
Definitely. The improvement in phones is amazing. Even in daylight you can see what you’re doing. Hopefully the same will happen soon to laptops 🙂 Plus… good colors on laptop? Hell yeah!
As for these things. I’m guessing 5 years after their release for high end lcd stocks to clear out and then another couple of years for them to increase production. Pretty much like LCD/Plasma tvs at first. By then they will be affordable. Hopefully earlier, considering the manufacturing facilities available today but I’d rather be surprised than disappointed ;P
…..Stupid host. “Oh Lead”
Some seem to be using “oh lead,” but it is supposed to be O and then L-E-D as in the second video since in the electronics world you would say LED. So, I’m not sure where this “Oh Lead” is coming from, but O-L-E-D should be the correct pronunciation considering it is an extension of the acronym LED.
