Samsung Reveals QD/OLED Pricing

Samsung Reveals QD/OLED Pricing
​

Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) has announced pricing for its Quantum Dot/OLED TV models, which are in pre-order mode.  While not all of Samsung’s 2022 TV line pricing has been revealed, the two sets are to be priced at $2,400 for the 55” model and $3,500 for the 65” model, which puts them at the top of Samsung’s 4K TV line in those sizes.  As both are 4K models, they would compare to Samsun’s Mini-LED/QD 90B series (2022) which sell for $2,600 and $1,900 respectively, putting the QD/OLED sets 34.6% and 26.3% more expensive than their closest sets in Samsung’s 2022 YV line.  When compared to LG Electronics’ 4K OLED TV lines (2021 models), using their most expensive models, the Samsung QD/OLED sets are 52.2% and 50.0% more expensive than the OLED sets.  While these are prices set by Samsung on its website, Amazon (AMZN) is offering the 55” model (no delivery date) for $2,197 to Prime™ members with an April 11 release date and delivery between April 15 and April 18.
The table compares Samsung’s QD/OLED TV pricing against similar Samsung Mini-LED/QD TVs, Samsung QD only TVs, and the most and least expensive LG OLED TVs.  We note that LG OLED TV pricing is based on 2021 models.  We note also that there has been some question as to the actual pricing for Samsung’s S95B models as some Samsung representative s are quoting a ‘corrected’ price of $2,200 for the 55” and $3,000 for the 65”.  While this might ultimately prove correct given the Amazon price mentioned above, the official prices on Samsung’s webstore are used below.
