LG’s 55-inch OLED TV coming to the US in March for $12,000

After missing original international release estimates, LG has finally announced a US release date for its 55-inch OLED TV: it will be available this March for $12,000. LG began pre-orders of the set in its native Korea last week for 11 million won (roughly $10,000), with the first deliveries expected in February. LG says you’ll be able to pre-order a set immediately, but its website doesn’t seem to have any pre-order facilities just yet. We actually got a look at a prototype of the Full HD TV at CES 2012, so check out our video from last year for more details.
