Samsung releases a $15,000 curved OLED TV in U.S.

The high-end television retailer from New York–Value Electronics now accepts reservations of the Samsung’s 55-inch curved OLED television. The cost of $15,000 includes calibration and delivery. Samsung may be the first one to launch a curved OLED television in the United States. In Korea, LG’s own curved OLED TV as well as the Samsung’s $15,000 curved OLED TV were priced about $13,000.

How can this new product cost so much money? And what is the advantage of the curved OLED TV? Well, for the new high-end TV, the curved surface allows the whole image to be equidistant from the people, thus the image looks clearer and less deformed. But the disadvantage is also obvious. The best distance of viewing is around 6 feet to 10 feet. So it allows no more than four people to watch the TV.

The OLED display technology is known for its colors, but before the technology to make a large panel lays a threshold. So it’s exciting to see the TV with the large panel finally comes to the market. To contrast the OLED and the 4K Ultra HD TV, obviously the OLED has a better image quality, but the price stops the spread.
