If you've got $15,000 to burn but aren't tickled by extra-large 4K televisions, perhaps Samsung's curved OLED TV will do the trick.
Value Electronics , a high-end television retailer based in Scarsdale, N.Y., says it is now taking orders for Samsung's 55-inch curved OLED television. According to CNet, two units are expected to arrive this week. The $15,000 price tag includes calibration and delivery.
Samsung appears to be the first company to launch a curved OLED television in the United States. In Korea, LG began taking pre-orders for its own curved OLED TV in May. Samsung started shipping its television in Korea last month. Both televisions were priced around $13,000 in Korea.
