New Delhi: LG Electronics has announced that it will begin accepting pre-orders for its 55-inch curved OLED TV (Model 55EA9800) in South Korea, with deliveries to begin next month. According to the company, over 1,400 LG retail stores in South Korea will begin taking orders starting today. Priced at approx. $13,500, it is only 4.3 millimeters (0.17 inches) thin and weighs just 17 kilograms (37.48 pounds).
Timing and pricing of the Curved OLED TV in markets outside of Korea will be announced in the months ahead.
The new EA9800 model features the industry's very first curved screen ergonomic design. With more than five years of research behind developing the optimum curvature, the entire screen surface is equidistant from the viewer's eyes, eliminating the problem of screen-edge visual distortion and loss of detail.
The announcement makes LG the first and only company to commercialise both the flat screen OLED TV, which began shipping to Korean customers in February, and the Curved OLED TV, giving LG a significant lead in the OLED segment that is expected to grow to 7 million units by 2016, according to DisplaySearch.
LG's Curved OLED TV features thin transparent film speakers in the crystal clear stand, providing high-quality sound without compromising the TV's beautiful design.
