Korean electronics manufacturers LG have announced plans to bring it’s 15-inch OLED TV to Europe later in 2010.

Austria will be the first country to receive the EL9600 OLED panel TV in May, as LG look to expand their latest TV technology.

Previously, only Sony, with their XEL-1, provided an OLED TV for sale within Europe and this screen was only 11 inches big, despite costing around £3,000.

With Sony’s recent announcement that they will soon withdraw this product from the marketplace, it would leave the LG EL9500 OLED TV as the only one in the market.

The new model will also ‘only’ cost €1,999 (£1,750) when it arrives, which might sound a lot for a TV that only has a 1366×768 pixel count.

We’ve sadly not got a UK release date or price, but we’re hoping that it won’t be too long before this 15-inch TV is gracing our local Curry’s.

But inch-for-inch it’s a lot cheaper than Sony’s effort, and at 1.7mm thick, it may even provide enough wow factor when you try and explain to the other half why you spent so much on a new TV for the shed.
