Saw this posted today,and think it's coolthat the OLED has finally arrived. In case people don't know the difference. All led tv's right now use leds as the back light with lcd being used for colors. The new OLED tvs will use actual leds as the light source.
Finally OLED tvs arrive

I remember it was yield problem that delayed its large TV use. They probably fixed that when Samsung start using them in large volume for smart phones.
If OLED TV screens is similar to the OLED screens in some cellphones, then image/screen burn in might be possible.

The samsung galaxy s4 will have oled screen ,
it will be basicly unbreakble with gorilla glass 3 and oled screen.
the price for those things are still too much for most people.

No one knows anything about the S4. It's all speculation at this point.
Gorilla Glass is definitely breakable.

I guess it's cool.
I still love my plasma and I'm not giving it up any time soon.. It has fantastic IQ.

When the OLED prices start coming down I think wide acceptance is very possible. This could, literally, lead to TV's that hang on the wall like posters or framed pictures - no special hardware required. I find the concept pretty exciting myself.
I think LG has an OLED TV available now, but it costs around $10,000. LCD and plasma were outrageous when they first launched as well, though.

OT: From first hand experience, I say that the glass on the Galaxy S3 breaks very easily. A small drop onto edge of phone from less than one foot height terminates that screen, even though the screen itself doesn't hit the hard surface.
Gorilla glass is great for scratches, but internet fan boys made it out to be as hard to break.
Regarding OLED screens, they are, at least in phone and tablet forms, very unnatural looking. While the contrasts are great, the picture is oversaturated and colors look unnatural. Hopefully this will get fixed because the technology is definitely promising.

The cost all depends on the yield. I've heard in the past some number to be as low as 40% (that means 60% of what they made are scraps).
If you increase the yield to 99%, that'll be a price drop from 10000 to 4000 when all others cost stay the same.

Manufacturing yields and economies of scale almost always improve with time.
Here on the "bleeding edge" of technology you can actually thank the higher income folks. If it were not for them buying these devices at the outrageously high introductory prices they would die on the vine before seeing the prices come down to "peon" levels.
But, if you were really serious about bringing jobs back to America you would refuse to buy these devices at affordable prices because a big part of them becoming "affordable" is being made with low-cost labor.

^I suppose that could be true as well, but I doubt the gov will subsidize OLED TV's for us. You will recall that purchases of digital to analog converter boxes were subsidized to the tune of $40 each before the mandated switch to digital TV.

No, they don't subsidize the TV, they either subsidize for the factory or research, or pass law that ban its competitor.
They do subsidize cars and solar panel directly (via tax deduction or credit) in some area though.

Maybe the Japanese or Korean did.
