LG's 55-inch Curved OLED HDTV Launching Next Month for $13,500

At CES earlier this year, LG showed off its 55-inch curved OLED HDTV, and the company has now announced that early adopters can get their hands on the world's first television set of its kind next month.

According to Engadget, LG's curved display will be priced at 15 million won (about $13,500) and is said to deliver an immersive "IMAX-like" experience and better viewing angles. The television is only 0.17 inches thin and weighs just 37.48 pounds with the help of a carbon fiber-reinforced frame, and features transparent film speakers. LG retail stores in South Korea will be accepting pre-orders for the new OLED HDTV starting today, with deliveries planned for some time in May.

Samsung also unveiled its own "world's first curved OLED TV" at CES, although LG's long-standing rival has yet to announce pricing and availability for its offering.
