If the 65-inch Samsung S95B OLED and Sony A95K OLED aren’t big enough for your living room, don’t worry: Samsung Display has unveiled a new 77-inch QD-OLED display at a business conference that will go on sale to TV makers like Sony and Samsung Electronics.
The new QD-OLED display was unveiled at the International Meeting on Information Display held in Busan, South Korea – about 200 miles from Samsung Display’s headquarters in Yongin-si.
So when are we going to see a 77-inch QD-OLED on store shelves? Well, chances are pretty good that we’ll hear about it at CES 2023, and see it available in the spring of 2023 when next year’s models become available.
For those who buy it, it’s likely only Samsung Electronics and Sony as LG continues to use its own version of OLED (WOLED) panels that can measure up to 97 inches. However, the 77-inch model will be a welcome addition to Samsung and Sony’s 2023 TV lineup and we’ll be watching for any rumors ahead of next year’s big trade show in Las Vegas.
How much does a 77 inch QD-OLED TV cost?
It’s important to note that as of now, Samsung Display’s 77-inch QD-OLED is not consumer ready, and therefore has no associated sticker price. However, based on the 55-inch and 65-inch QD-OLED models currently on sale, we may be able to expect a 77-inch model to cost when it becomes available.
So the 55-inch QD-OLED models from Samsung and Sony come in at $1,699 and $2,999, respectively, while the 65-inch models cost $2,099 and $3,499, respectively.
From these numbers, our best guess is that Samsung’s 77-inch QD-OLED TV will likely come in between $2,499 and $2,999, while Sony’s QD-OLED TV will likely cost between $3999 and $4999. These numbers are just guesswork, so take it with caution.
The cost of TVs will drop to the number of new 77-inch panels that Samsung Display can produce in the coming months based on throughput and the final sale price of the other components that go into the final TV. These numbers won’t be available until much later, so for now you just have to settle for our data extrapolation.
