LG sells 200 OLED TVs in three months in Korea; predicts "substantial numbers" in 2013

LG has confirmed it has sold 200 OLED TVs since the company’s first 55in OLED TV went on sale in Korea.

The LG 55EM970V OLED TV (above) opened for pre-orders in Korea in January before going on sale in February.

Originally unveiled at CES in 2012,

the LG OLED TV is also now available for pre-order in the UK, having

gone on sale at the start of March in Harrods, London for £10,000.

Around 100 sets were reported to have been pre-ordered after six

weeks in Korea, and LG’s director of home entertainment communications

Hugo Shin confirmed at a briefing at LG HQ in Seoul today that sales

have hit 200.

Shin said LG expects to sell “substantial numbers” of OLED and 4K

Ultra HD TVs over the next 24 months, despite these initial slow sales.

Clearly very expensive now, Shin believes OLED TVs could be a similar

price to existing high-end LED screen in as little as two or three

years.
