List of OLED TVs

Samsung's ES9500 is the company's first OLED TV, a 55" active-shutter 3D Super OLED TV in fact as they call it. The ES9500 includes several smart interaction technologies including remote control, voice control, motion control and face recognition (it includes a camera). It features a Smart Evolution upgradeable dual-core CPU and Dual-View technology (enables two different 2D program via the active-shutter 3D glasses). Samsung says that color reproduction is 20% better compared to LED LCDs, but they wouldn't reveal more technical details.

The ES9500 will be released before the end of 2012. Price is unknown yet, but estimates say it will be around $9,000. The OLED panel uses direct-emission RGB OLED subpixels as opposed to LG's white OLED with color-filters design (WOLED-CF), and LED TVs.

LG's 55EM9600 is a 55" Full-HD OLED TV featuring FPR passive 3D, 100,000,000:1 contrast ratio and fast response time (1,000 times faster than LCD according to LG). The panel is only 4mm thick, and the whole TV weighs just 7.5Kg. The TV is based on LG Display's Oxide-TFT white-OLED with color filters (RGBW) OLED panel.

We do not know the release date or price yet (although DisplaySearch estimates that it will cost $8,000 and be released in 3Q 2012). The TV will be called EM960V in the UK. Here's a nice video introducing this cool TV:

Sony's BVM-F250 and F170 TriMaster EL are professional Full-HD OLED monitors sized 24.5" and 16.5". The monitors offer hyper-accurate color reproduction and 'perfect' image quality without motion blur due to the OLED's fast response time. The display support HDMI, DisplayPort, 3G-SDI, SD-SDI and HD-SDI.

The BVM-F series will launch in November 2011 in Japan. The 24.5" will cost 1.5 million yen (about $20,000) and the 16.5" will cost 945,000 yen (about $12,000). We're not sure whether these will replace the BVM-E270/E170 range, as the F series is a bit cheaper than the E series...

The PVM-1741 and PVM-2541 are professional OLED monitors aimed towards TV, advertising and movie productions. These monitors use the same 16.5" and 24.5" OLED panels used in the higher-end BVM-E170/BVM-E250. Both monitors offer Full-HD (1080p) support, 178-degrees viewing angle, 10-bit drivers and a 1W mono speaker. Inputs include two 3G-SDI, HDMI, composite and Ethernet.

Both monitors are now shipping. The PVM-2541 costs around $5,500 while the smaller PVM-1741 costs around $4,000.

Sony's new range of TriMaster EL are professional Full-HD OLED monitors. They come in two sizes, the 25" BVM-E250 and the 17" BVM-E170. The monitors offer hyper-accurate color reproduction and 'perfect' image quality without motion blur due to the OLED's fast response time. The display support HDMI, DisplayPort, 3G-SDI, SD-SDI and HD-SDI. The monitors are thin - 148mm in depth.

The BVM-E250 will be released in Japan in May 2011 for 2.5 million yen ($30,000) and the BVM-E170 will be released in July for 1.3 million yen ($15,000).
