They can't be too expensive, so I’m guessing £700/800 (IP) for a 1080p 32” OLED, and £500/600 (IP) for a similar FLCD.

Operative word "guessing".

like all new technologies, expensive at first and then prices drop when they reach economies of scale and all that other economic jargon. i think the 32inch will be 1500-2000 when it first comes out and within 1-2 years half that. :smashin:

Sony's 11" oled is just shy of 2000 dollars.

Judging by these comments OLED will be much more expensive for a few years yet:
CNET News.com sat down with the head of Sony Electronics' U.S. operation, Stan Glasgow, to talk OLED (http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9983167-7.html) Q: You have an 11-inch OLED and said you'd be putting $200-plus million into the next stage of investment. How big are we talking here in terms of screen sizes?
Glasgow: In the short term, which is a couple of years--I'm not going to be more definitive than that--we have targeted a 27-inch. We've showed it as CES, we've targeted the initial investment, and that's what we're looking at in the short term. Certainly in the longer term we'd like them to be the same size as LCD. We'd like them to be 52 inch, 46 inch, 36 inch...it's just a matter of time.
What about affordability? How long until these are affordable for the mainstream consumer?
Glasgow: It's going to be years and years until price points come down to where they're anywhere close to LCD. In the not-too-distant future, you'll have a choice in LCD at this size, or you can buy an OLED at the same size at a premium. I almost see it as a potential--and I don't know this, nobody knows the answer--I almost see this as the upper end of flat-panel television.
