LG 55EA9800 Pro Reviews

The LG 55EA9800 curved OLED HDTV is the most impressive display we've ever tested. At $8,000, it had better be!

It would seem LG still has a couple of bugs to iron out, but we kind of expect that from first-generation technology. Even so, this TV looks fantastic, and it shows that OLED appears to be in a great position to deliver the picture quality of today’s best plasmas in an ultra-thin frame similar to LED televisions. Yes, it’s expensive. We knew it would be. But this TV is a sign of things to come. It’s a little glimpse into the future and is presently a tough TV to produce. That means early adopters will pay handsomely, but they’ll also be rewarded with something unique and ground-breaking. As for the curve: We’re just happy the gimmick (ahem…design) didn’t get in the way of the picture quality. We’ll be wall-mounting OLEDS like cheesy prints from Target soon enough. In the meantime, why not have something to get excited about?
