    I bet what they're not saying is that they've got big plans for some OLED roll-to-roll printing, which -- once they have kinks worked out like ink solvent systems, ink drying times, and printing resolution -- should DRASTICALLY reduce OLED display manufacturing costs.

    GE has already got a working prototype (linked below). While it may be lousy and expensive, the technology is advancing quickly, and I think LG is banking on this stuff, to make a bold statement like "OLEDs will be cheaper than LCDs in the future".

    I don't understand the rationale behind releasing this data. All this will do is make people hold off on getting a new TV until OLED is cheaper which won't help to encourage manufacturing improvement if people aren't buying. #lgoledroadmap

    @aek8: It's not like OLED is suddenly going to drop in price 75% on the first of January, 2016. It'll be a gradual process, and as the TVs get cheaper, people will start to get them. The continued and inevitable reduction in cost of LCDs never stopped people investing in them either. #lgoledroadmap

    Thats funny. By 2016 there will be some other new technology driving the TV industry. So obviously by 2016 LED's will be affordable.

    Just when LCD's were becoming more affordable, BAM! here comes LED Tv's.

    Tv's are becoming like PC's, obsolute in 6 months. #lgoledroadmap

    @chasper14: Nobody's forcing you to upgrade just because a new technology exists. Only a total idiot would run out and buy an OLED at ten times the cost of a picture-quality-equivalent plasma. You can wait until it's at a price parity, in 6 years (not months). #lgoledroadmap

    @icecubez189: @hkspowers: I'll give you both the benefit of the doubt, and I'm aware that Samsung is a Korean company, however, she looks more Japanese than Korean, and since I'm an expert on Asian women, I'll go with my instinct. Japanese and Korean ethnicity was highly intermingled au cause de warring between the two (as told to me by a Korean coworker who immigrated to the US). Apparently, they could tell them apart, at birth, quite easily by a small bluish birthmark on Korean babies that is inherent to Korean genetics. I'm not saying this, my wise Korean coworker is. All I know is that I'm going to have to check out this models bum to find out. I might need a second or third pair of eyes to be sure, so you guys should probably come along. #samsung3mmthinhdtv

    If you're a tech buff or AIG bonus recipient, you'll just have to buy this now.

    But by the time Palin loses the 2012 general election, these will probably cost at least $500 cheaper.

    With 3TB of storage 26hrs of storage is most likely all 1080p content. My WMC with 1TB for video at one time had over 50hrs of 720p recorded.

    Finally someone realized you can use all that fancy upconverting tech on 1080p content as well, that's going to bee sweet.

    Probably have to push your nose against the glass to tell the difference though...
