48-inch OLED TVs have to be flying off the cabinets, as LG is upping manufacturing of the screens they use by practically fivefold.
In keeping with Chosun (by way of OLED-info), LG Show will improve manufacturing to 1 million 48-inch OLED TV screens this yr, up from 220,000 in 2020.
Beforehand, the smallest OLED TV broadly accessible was 55 inches in measurement. However then LG (and later Sony) launched a 48-inch mannequin. LG Show is the business’s key provider of OLED screens.
The report says demand for gaming TVs has significantly pushed gross sales of 48-inch OLEDs. It has been in such excessive demand that some retailers have began discounting the 55-inch mannequin, resulting in the reasonably illogical situation the place a much bigger TV really prices lower than its smaller sibling.
Final yr, LG launched one 48-inch OLED, the LG OLED48CX, and a positive set it’s too (although it has since been bettered by the marginally pricier Sony KD-48A9). This yr it is launching extra 48-inch fashions: we all know it’s going to launch one other 48-inch C1, in addition to a extra wallet-friendly 48-inch A1.
LG’s 2021 TV range is beginning to roll out globally, so for those who’re on the lookout for a brand new OLED TV, maintain an ear out at your retailer of selection.
