LG names 15in OLED TV UK release date

*How* much?

Sony may be stepping away from the world of OLED TVs, but that hasn't stopped LG announcing it will release a 15in model later this month.

Unsurprisingly, LG didn't mention how much the 720p panel will cost. We're still awaiting a response to our request for the price, but we're not expecting to be surprised by how low it is.

As a guide, Sony's 11in Xel-1 costs the best part of three-and-a-half grand.
