A Chinese company could soon start a price war on OLED TVs.
There’s just nothing like an OLED TV. The self-illuminating organic diodes are the current measure of all things when it comes to image quality, contrast, black value and, last but not least, response time. They are therefore ideal for gaming, as our test also proves. But the technology has its price. There are a few smaller models for less than 1,000 dollars, but you have to shell out a lot more for most panels.
This is not only because OLED panels are more difficult to manufacture per se

A new player on the field
But that could change soon: And who do you think of when it comes to driving down prices properly? Right China! A report by Flatpanelshd.com
According to this, 300,000 displays are to be manufactured this year as part of a test production. For the time being, this is only a small part of the overall market, about five percent to be precise. But the company has to start somewhere.
Incidentally, the range should range from 55-inch 4K models to 95-inch 8K calibers, which also achieve a peak brightness of up to 800 nits and a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hertz.

Why the prices for OLED TVs could soon fall noticeably
At the moment, LG Displays is still in a comfortable position, almost in a monopoly position. Another player on the field in the form of BOE can only do the market good. And not only in terms of pricing policy. Competition is always a driving force behind technical innovations.
The fact that BOE should actually be able to hold a candle to LG displays is shown by a report that the Chinese manufacturer is producing the OLED panels for the upcoming iPhone 14 (via Heise.de). Basically, the company seems to have enough experience. Here you can find out what the fundamental differences between OLED, Mini-LED, and so on are:
In any case, we are very curious to see whether there will be a price war between LG, BOE and eventually even Samsung in the coming years!
