in short, the miniLED price had reached the base price of TV Tech level as what OLED supposedly to be.
a 75inch miniLED, is now priced around $3000, where after calculation of price per inch, is $40/inch. for how i come to such base price, refer to this older thread from Hi5v forum…
https://hifive.sg/index.php/topic,1175.0.html
when will the price of miniLED TV come down to an affordable level as entry level FALD TV which is roughly $30**/inch around $2250 for a 75inch? it’s going to be gradual~~~ly until roughly mid yr’24, if i’m not wrong with my observation.
**(base on calculation of $15/inch for miniLED backlight tech, $2/inch for 4K resolution. other “additives” such as the use of image processing engines, warranty package that would affect overall pricing not included)
competition drives price slashing, price slashing drives affordability, affordability drives the urge to upgrade and replace. that’s the basic theory of market penetration and effect on production cost.
for the moment, by beginning of 2023, we are given choices from mainstream marques Samsung ang LG which carries premium price tags that could go 5 digit figure.
in the mid level, it’s a Japanese(SONY) vs Dutch(PHILIPS) competition with list price tagging in the mid level pricing around $4K~$6K level.like the most budget.
in the “entry” level price range, which hovers around $3000, are still spear headed by the Chinese marques like HiSense and TCL.
how about the local OEMs? like PRISM+ and SWOSH? or even AIWA?
PRISM+ source of their TVs and builder SKYWORTH, which stands along with TCL and HiSense in the same rank of TV Tech, had been making miniLED TVs since 2021, and sales starts in the mid year then.
SWOSH and AIWA source of their current Android/Google OS TVs from ChangHong is considerably a late comer adopting the miniLED tech.
AIWA source and builder of their webOS TVs KONKA, beats ChangHong and began selling miniLED TV a year after SKYWORTH.
considering that the local OEMs like SWOSH and PRISM+ taking conservative approach in observing sales and reliability of what their builders made and sold,
PRISM+ badged miniLED TV would likely to come around the end of 2023 when Chinese marques, HiSense and TCL list price of their 2023 models dropped below $2.7k level, PRISM+ would likely be tagging their 75inch miniLED TV around $2.4k mark.
SWOSH miniLED 75inch TV would likely hovers around $2.2k level if they continue to survive, and still getting their TVs built by ChangHong. the day we may get to see SWOSH or AIWA rebadged miniLED made by ChongHong… would possibly be 6mths later than PRISM+.
so… should u wait? or jump onto the boat now which is driven by PHILIPS, from the offer they give on their 2021 models… where a 75PML9506 is going off as low as $2700 GST inclusive, or 65PML9506 @ $1900 GST inclusive? note that u’re looking at 2021 models…
