Although it's expected that OLED screens will mainly be aimed at the premium end of the market, LG has underlined its confidence in the technology with confirmation that its first Ultra HD 4K OLED sets will be hitting UK shelves next month.
The curved 65in 4K OLED will cost a cool £6500, while pricing for the 77in is yet to be confirmed.

And the Korean manufacturer told What Hi-Fi? that bendable OLED TVs are very much part of its plans as well, with the first flexible set due to hit the shelves next year – described as the "ultimate solution" when it comes to new TVs as you'll be able to choose and/or switch between a flat screen and a curved screen depending on your tastes and the type of content you're watching.

LG says that decision has been motivated primarily due to the declining availability of components, rather than shrinking demand. As a result, LG will be adding itself to the list of manufacturers leaving the plasma production path this year.
