Beating competitors to market with the first large-sized OLED HDTV, LG's 55-inch, $10,335 behemoth will arrive in Korean retailers in February with North American, European, and expanded availability in Asia expected in March, according to the Associated Press. The display, which measures at only 4 millimeters thick and weighs only 22 pounds, is now for pre-order at 1,400 retailers across Korea. LG debuted the prototype version of the display last year at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) with no confirmed plans for release. Samsung showed off a similarly sized OLED display at last year's event, but has yet to announce any further plans for a retail model.
LG representatives say the company will provide more details about its release plans for the 55EM9700 in the coming weeks, most likely at its press conference at CES in Las Vegas next week.
