Slowly but faster than expected. Maybe by 2016 I will be able to get a flat one to replace my ST60.

I'm hoping my VT60 lives a long fruitful life until I get can get a 65" OLED for ~2000

you can find the 55EA9800 for $3300 on amazon right now.
A lot of this, is really just the stores not making 5k profits on the TV anymore and LG lowering the UPP/MAP price. although there have been some instant rebates offered by LG recently at the cost level as well.

Supporters love OLED screens for their amazing color, wide viewing angles and ability to achieve essentially absolute black and therefore extremely high contrast.
Sold.

i told ya'll there was a reason manufacturers were getting out of the plasma business so quick.
rush to market here with cheap OLEDs..why waste time spending money on 2001 technology when OLEDs are right around the corner?

I dont know how old you folks are BUT
This reminds me of the Betamax vs VHS fight.
Betamax rolled out first and with higher quality specs however, VHS was cheaper and eventually became the standard.
Im sure im leaving other details out but you get the point.
I have a 60" Sony XBR LCD. Out dated and obsolete but tsill working. Until it fails, I will wait.
Another thing to consider is content. The available avenues are becoming wider and more folks are "cutting the cord"
More reason to wait IMO

well..more or less. :rimshot: with beta vs vhs if you bought the wrong unit you couldn't buy content.
all these tv display technologies work with all content so you're not out in the cold if you choose something that isn't popular in 5 years.

It's not like that at all. Betamax and VHS were still the same crappy SD tape technology. OLED is a totally different different tech that overcomes the poor black level and viewing angles inherent to LCD. Like plasma, the cells generate their own light instead of filtering a backlight, but the panels get even darker than plasma, going almost completely black, and they do it without resorting to the local dimming trickery some LCDs use to try to make up for their poor black level, trickery that is inadequate and always causes blooming.

The reasons they abandonded plasma include the fact that LCD was outselling it 20 to 1, the inability to make a 4K plasma, the ability to make 4K LCDs Right Now in huge quantities, and the marketing push for 4K as the Next Big Thing, like 3D was the last few years.

OLED isn't cheap, not nearly as cheap as plasmas were at the end. It's yet to be seen whether they can produce OLED in sufficient quantity, and they likely won't try as long as 4K LCD sells well. LG is the only one currently interested in making OLED; Samsung and Sony/Panasonic have given up for now.
