Prices for OLED TVs have already dropped precipitously even for the high-end sets like the LG-C4 series. This trend will continue, and perhaps accelerate, for a number of reasons, including:

1. OLED technology will continue to improve with new, cheaper, more readily available raw materials being used in their manufacture.

2. Fewer parts and less circuitry are required to manufacture OLED TVs. They require no backlighting and their lighter weight allows the outer shells, stands and mounts to be built to less robust standards.

3. Competition will bring the prices down. Prices were propped up because of the superiority of the pictures OLED TVs provide and LG's monopoly power. But prices will fall to more nearly reflect the lower cost of manufacture as competition serves its purpose.
