If you've been waiting patiently since CES to grab a first-of-its-kind HDTV, now's your chance. During an event in Minnesota today, LG announced its 55-inch curved OLED would begin showing up in select U.S. Best Buy stores over the next several weeks. The $15,000 HDTV launched in Korea back in April, and LG executives feel the move gives the company an "early lead" on the OLED market in the United States. Moreover, Best Buy will also be the first major American retailer to carry OLED sets.
LG's curved OLED TV is only 4.3 millimeters thick at screen's edge, and weighs less than 38 pounds. According to LG, the Model 55EA9800 is the first THX Display-certified unit in the world, having undergone 600 lab tests.
The curved OLED will be available in the Magnolia specialty home theater section of Best Buy stores in select cities at first, with a full rollout to nationwide locations later this summer.
