According to CNet, two US retailers (B&H and Adorama) posted pages with information on LG's 2015 OLED TVs, including prices (the pages have been removed from the sites since). CNet says that they talked to Adorama and B&H, who said said that they expect all models to ship within 3-4 weeks (including the 77" bendable TV, which isn't likely), and the 55EG9600 will ship on March 9.
Here's the full price list from both sites:
- 55" 4K flat EF9500 - $4,999
- 55" 4K curved EG9600 - $5,499
- 65" 4K flat EF9500 - $7,999
- 65" 4K flat EF9800 - $9,999
- 77" 4K flexible EG9900 - $24,999
These are high prices, obviously, but that's about what we expected as launch prices. LG's current curved 55" Full-HD TV (the 55EC9300) costs about $3,000, and the 65" 4K 2014 model (the 65EC9700) costs $9,999. It's highly likely that prices will come down during the year - we've seen this before with LG's OLED TV launch prices, and we know that LG will increase capacity during 2015 which will result in lower production costs.

Cooters, can you point me to some of these retailers? I couldn't find it anywhere lower than $2,999 (except eBay, but it's always cheaper there).
East Coast TVs - $2329
Abe's of Maine - $2339
and I believe Cleveland Plasma is at $2400.
Thanks Cooters, excellent. I posted this today.
Ron, there was a big drop in price this week on the 55EC9300, multiple online vendors selling it for $2300-$2400 delivered. Cooters
