Hello Digitec, why is the 48-inch more expensive than the 55-inch of the same model?
If I understand correctly, the 48-inchers are cut from the same substrate as the 77-inchers with 8K. These are probably not yet bought in such large numbers and are quite expensive. Therefore, the 48" OLEDs will probably not become much cheaper in the foreseeable future. I assume the margin here is significantly lower for the sellers than for 55" and 65" models. How this works with the substrates and the cutting is explained quite well here: https://www.youtube.com/watch
I was also surprised, but the substrate will indeed probably only be more complex to produce. Bringing the 4k to 48" is trickier than to 55", because the density is higher. In our case, the space problem was decisive for the 48". The picture, by the way, is splendid and bright enough, even during the day when the sun is shining.
