27 grand. That's a spicy meatball! Will put that on my lottery winner wishlist. Although at THAT size you'd think 8k might make sense....

I was thinking the exact same thing. At that price and that size why is this not 8 or even 16k?

Nothing wrong. Been that way since flat panels came out. The bleeding edge has always been some ridiculous price.

Yeah at 97” this is something of a luxury item, OLED or otherwise. They don’t exactly need to be competitive or sane with the price. If you want a TV that costs less there is no shortage of very inexpensive options.

It'll be interesting to see if rtings.com can get ahold of one of these for a review. I could never afford such a thing but I am curious as to how it would test out. However, I totally agree that this thing ought to be at least 8K. UHD seems a bit underwhelming at that price.

If you're spending $27K on a TV, you should have a room with adequate light control. When you get to 97", might as well go with a projector.
