Samsung-LG Misstep on TV Screens Creates Opening for Sony

[dfergie]

Samsung Electronics Co (005930). and LG Electronics Inc (066570). are reworking their strategies for high-end TVs after spending billions of dollars on a new display technology (OLED)that’s behind schedule and costs almost $10,000 a set.

Good article. But I don't see Sony making TVs profitably in 2014- or perhaps, ever again.

Advancements are being made. I expect long term, OLED or OLET sets to be the norm.

I think all of them are misstepping on OLED, and hopefully Panasonic and Samsung keep making good plasmas for a few more years, LCD tech has crapped the bed since they basically dropped full array back lit.

I do imagine Sony and Panasonic will bring it with their joint OLED agreement and catch up quickly.
