Over the past decade, television products have left a lasting impression on consumers with their traditional "panel + base" design. However, as China's middle class has grown in both numbers and influence, these outdated and generic TV models have failed to meet the evolving expectations of more discerning consumers. Fortunately, in August 2013, OLED TVs—considered the next generation of display technology—were officially introduced to the Chinese market. Since then, OLED TVs have experienced rapid development, capturing the attention of the elite consumer segment with their revolutionary design and superior image quality.
Why has the middle class become so captivated by OLED TVs? The answer lies in both the technology itself and the unique experience it offers. Sony’s A1 OLED TV, launched in early 2017, became an instant hit. It was the first truly "no pedestal, no speaker" TV, redefining the visual and auditory experience. Thanks to OLED technology, the screen can produce sound, creating a spatial audio effect that enhances immersion. Paired with natural picture quality and a back-mounted subwoofer, the overall audio-visual experience was unprecedented, drawing in high-end gamers and affluent consumers alike.
Another groundbreaking model was LG’s Signature OLED W7 Wallpaper TV. In 2017, this ultra-thin, flexible OLED TV stunned audiences by being mounted on the wall like a piece of art. This innovative design completely challenged conventional perceptions of what a television could be. It not only redefined the form factor but also opened up new possibilities for how people interact with media in their homes.
OLED technology is not just about aesthetics—it represents the future of display innovation. Unlike other technologies, OLEDs offer self-illumination, leading the industry toward a more immersive and realistic viewing experience. While other display technologies may attempt to compete, OLEDs have already taken the lead, securing a strong position in the market.
For Chinese TV manufacturers, the rise of OLED TVs is especially significant. In the LCD era, many Chinese brands struggled to keep up with Taiwanese and international competitors. But in the OLED era, companies like Skyworth, Changhong, and Konka have quickly caught up, positioning themselves at the forefront of the market. Today, we see not only Sony and LG introducing OLED innovations, but also Chinese brands offering similar cutting-edge features—such as screen-sound TVs and wallpaper-style designs.
In 2018, the trend continued, with more manufacturers entering the OLED TV market. Globally, 13 TV brands had already launched OLED products, and several more Chinese companies were expected to join in the same year. As demand grew, OLED TVs became increasingly popular among high-end consumers. During the National Day holiday, OLED TV sales surged by 145%, proving their strong market appeal.
If you're looking for premium TV options, OLED is definitely worth considering. With its advanced technology, sleek design, and immersive performance, it's reshaping how people live and watch. Are you ready to embrace the future of television?
