Quite a lot of OLED news this week, with Samsung and Panasonic joining Sony to the super-thin panel race, and LG calling out after them “wait for me, guysch!” and announcing a massive 32″ screen.

Not much else is known about this mysterious 32″ OLED TV, except that LG’s factory in Paju, Korea, is ramping up the production of the panels, with the words ‘volume production’ being quoted.

With a ridiculously tiny 3mm thickness, it’s a bit like putting your telly on a piece of paper. The 11 inch screens are available to consumers already, and Susi shows them off in the video under the cut. There was also a prototype model with a slightly larger screen on show at CES, but considering these babies come it at almost $2,500, it may be a while before we see that one on sale in the US, let alone the UK…
