OLED TV, Samsung or LG?

OLED TV, the latest technology in TV industry, is being talked about more frequently as they are coming closer to the release. In this post, I'd like to talk a little bit about what we can expect and what options we have. If you didn't know, there are currently Samsung and LG making the OLED displays and it could be highly debatable which one is better (if you're fortunate enough, that is).

First off, the main difference between LG and Samsung in their OLED TV is that LG uses IGZO WOLED technology and Samsung uses LTPS RGB OLED. The production cost for the Samsung's OLED is 25% higher than LG's. This definitely will have an impact on pricing of the product. Another thing you should consider is the awards. LG received the best product award at CES 2012 in Las Vegas and also claimed that their OLED technology is at least two years ahead of their competitors. This may not be an advantage that keeps a company going for a long time but at least you will know which one will be more likely to succeed with the first generation of the technology.
