After years of taunting consumers with incredible picture quality, but insanely high prices, OLED TVs are finally coming down to Earth. Prices are falling, there will be even more models to choose from and, at least based on what we've seen from CES this year, LCD TVs aren't getting many upgrades. And of course, LG's stunning new W-series wowed us so much, it won both our Best TV and Best of the Best awards at CES. If you've been holding out on a 4K TV upgrade, but haven't had the budget to consider OLED up until now, expect things to change this year.

Even before CES began, it was clear the OLED market was beginning to change. Throughout 2016, LG steadily lowered the prices of its lineup -- its cheapest model, the B6, launched at $4,000, but eventually made its way down to $2,000 by October. Come Black Friday, LG also offered another $200 discount to sweeten the pot. Now think about that: A 55-inch 4K OLED for $1,800! It was such a compelling deal I ended up buying one myself.

Samsung is calling its new TV QLED, not OLED.
OLED will remain expensive. It's the best panel out there. And not many companies are using it.

Quantum LED (QLED) is altogether different technology which Samsung claim is superior than OLED TV and cheaper to manufacturer. Not yet in the market. Lets see..

Yes. It remains to be tested. There hasn't been any TV with QLED display in the market yet.
