Those of you who are wild enough to make a 97-inch 4K OLED TV your next gaming monitor might be interested to know that LG has finally revealed the pricing for its massive display.
LG’s 97-inch G2 is expected to launch in Europe in the second half of the year for around 25,000 Euros (~$27,600), according to an exchange between FlatpanelsHD and the manufacturer. The US price is expected to differ slightly from the UK price, but it should still fall within the same eye-watering range. All of LG Display’s OLED TV panels are produced in its two 8.5G factories, which are located in Paju, South Korea, and Guangzhou, China.
Compared to LG’s 77-inch and 83-inch OLED TVs, the 97-inch model’s price tag is significantly higher than expected. The 77-inch and 88-inch models of LG’s C1 displays can currently be purchased from the company’s online store for $2,799.99 and $4,799.99, respectively.
LG confirms price of new 97″ 4K OLED TV (FlatpanelsHD)
The first 97-inch OLED TV comes with a high price tag of 25000 Euro, LG has confirmed to FlatpanelsHD. The 97-inch LG G2 will be available in the second half of 2022.
Earlier this week, FlatpanelsHD attended an LG launch event where we had a chance to see and try many of the 2022 TVs – report coming soon. The 97-inch was not on display but LG did reveal the price.
LG Display will be able to significantly reduce the production costs of large-sized OLED panels when its new 10.5-generation factory comes online. The project has been postponed multiple times and the 10.5G factory is reportedly expected to open in 2025 at the earliest.

I was thinking the exact same thing. At that price and that size why is this not 8 or even 16k?
Okaaaaaay, well now we are talking car prices for a f*cking HDTV. Something is very wrong here...
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.
