Samsung Cuts Price on OLED TV: Down to $9,000 Compared to LG's $15,000

After so much craziness over OLED TVs, it looks like they are becoming a reality. Several models have come out, but the prices have been ridiculous with a capital R. Now, Samsung is lowering the price on its curved OLED TV to $8,999.999, and is shipping to "specialty retailers." The $9,000 price point definitely beats that of LG's $15,0000. The Samsung KN55S9C was reportedly supposed to be the price of the LG model, but it looks like Samsung had a change of hear. Even though the screen has a much lower price than what was expected, it doesn't have 4K resolution. Samsung has said that the 55-inch TV will have the company's Multi-View technology built in, which allows users to watch two different videos at the same time using 3D glasses.
