I don't think Oled large screen TVs will ever be price competitive. They will get better and cheaper, I'm sure, but so will LED sets. The pattern so far has been that while Oleds got slightly cheaper, LEDs got better. Resolution got better; colors got better; contrast got better; brightness got better.

Extrapolating, while Oleds get better, LEDs will get better faster, in price/performance.

The next big development in video is going to be HDR. As usual, LED is ahead of Oled. HDR-ready LED sets have been available for months (I have one), but so far as I know, Oled HDR is now just a promise from LG. There are no HDR Oled sets available for sale or in the hands of reviewers, for us to read about. Maybe we'll see HDR Oled this Fall, and maybe we won't. It is not obvious that HDR will be practical for Oled sets because of the burn-in issue -- when used at high brightness levels, Oled pixels age faster.
