The initial yield rate when mass production started earlier in Fall of last year was 50% and they rapidly improved the yield rate to 85% which is much faster than LG which took them several years for their WOLED tvs. Not to mention the fact that Samsung Display only has one gen 8.5 line producing 30,000 substrates a month compared to LG display with 90k substrates a month. OLED tvs will get cheaper due to economies of scale, so we can see the price of QDOLED go even lower than the price of current WOLED if production capacity is increased.

We will most likely see Samsung Display announce by Q4 of this year or Q1 next year that they'll expand capacity to produce 60,000 substrates per month given that that they sold off their last lcd fab and need to transition to another display technology as soon as possible.

In the long run, if Samsung finishes their research for QNED and irons out all the kinks to enable mass production, we will see an even better display technology. The eventual evolution of qdoled is to replace the oled backlight with leds and it would be a qd-microled/nanoled display which is what QNED is. The equipment for QNED/QDOLED is similar except the expensive deposition machines for OLED are not necessary for QNED so the conversion of qdoled to qned wouldn't be difficult and QNED's launch price should theoretically be cheaper than qdoled. Of course this is likely a couple of years away from now happening the earliest by 2025 or 2026.

They didn't so much nerf the brightness as they improved accuracy. If all you care about is brightness and not picture quality, then buy an LED instead of OLED and set it to Vivid mode.

I can't think of anything less in the spirit of what this forum is all about than this comment.
I'd wager that all of us have the money for most of these things at their retail price, but we are here for the deals. We all know that a dollar saved feels better than a dollar earned. And so with that in mind, your comment makes little sense.

I did signup with .edu and I keep seeing $1,679 in the cart. I don't understand why this thread claims it is 1,575. Is it cookie specific?
Quote from augielicious :
No kidding, it's frustrating
The edu/epp discounts I believe right now are only for the 55" version. The 65" version only discounts for those with employee purchase discounts.

This TV is incredible. The firmware is nothing to be concerned about; the TV gets eye searingly bright to the point where I need to turn the brightness down.

The UI and remote are the stuff of nightmares, though.

Buy OEM remote.
I bought this and it works well with S95B.
This is worth $10 for direct input select, netflix, number pad, etc.

Not getting that price. Only seeing the $2099.

I am registered with the Samsung Save at Work Member Store that says my TV discount is 25%, which should put the current $2099 price right at $1574. But not seeing any sort of additional discount.

Yes! So I had mine broke with less than 30 hours of use. So, I had my tv wall mounted facing downwards tilt. After it was no longer working, I pressed the center of the screen, and it moved like if you press down on a bubble. If that is what is causing the problem, then I imagine that whatever method they are using to adhere the oled screen to the chasis is weak. I dont know maybe the heat is causing the screen to separate? I wish I would have taken a video. But, I will check this tv out again next year, hopefully they will fix it. I loved this set when gaming, but I prefer my LG oled when watching movies. Anyone who says its the same should go watch guardians of the galaxy 2 in dolby vision vs HDR.

Yeah I'm going with a LG C2 77". Really wanted this TV but I'm not willing to roll the dice and have to deal with the headache.

What's the likelihood that the 55 inch will be less than $1350 on Black Friday?

FYI. Microcenter will price match this. Just show them them the discount price on your phone.
