Samsung has finally struck a deal with LG Display in order to receive OLED panels starting next year. The deal means that LG will supply millions of WOLED panels to Samsung in the coming year, with the first batch reportedly being supplied as early as this quarter. LG Display already supplies panels for Sony, Philips, Panasonic and others for their respective OLED sets, however, Samsung has sought alternative routes thus far its own QD-OLED panels and Mini LED TVs.
While the first delivery of WOLED panels to Samsung could be coming very soon, it's likely that they will be designated for testing and product development and therefore we're not expecting a traditional OLED TV from Samsung any time soon. That being said, we are already anticipating what this new set could offer, as it could pose a serious threat to Sony's A80L OLED TV and LG's own C3 OLED.
