You will soon be able to buy a 48-inch OLED TV

Good news, TV technology fans - OLED TVs are about to get much more attainable. LG Display, which makes OLED screens for all the big OLED TV brands, has announced it will be adding a new, smaller screen size to its panel line-up; a 48 inch.

OLED TVs currently only go as small as 55 inches, so if you're in the market for a new TV with what's widely accepted as the best screen technology right now, you have to go big, and spend the money to match.

The news was released by LG Display at the OLED Korea conference, reports OLED info. It wasn't clear when the smaller OLED TV screens would be made available but clearly LG Display is confident it can produce smaller screens with a high enough yield to make it feasible.

LG Display also said it would be upping total production of OLED TV panels to around 10 million in 2021, an increase from 3 million in 2017. This would also include 8K OLED panels in 65-inch and 77-inch sizes, joining the previously announced LG 8K TVs.
