Not only is price a factor, there are several problems that still need to be addressed before OLED can really compete. For now, the blue pixels don't last very long. The small Sony panels had output levels in the blue pixels drop 12% in one year. Not sure of the new ones by LG or Samsung, but there is still much to be done with the technology.
The LG is "only" $10K now. Besides the blue pixels, there is also the fact that they only come in 55", and have curved screens.

According to some video sites, they also have *serious* burn in (latent images) issues. They aren't ready for prime time yet.

The blue OLEDs last longer than they did a few years ago but neither LG nor Samsung will say how long. Instead of LG using an extra subpixel (WRGB) to create "white" light maybe they should add a spare blue subpixel that does not come on until the first one goes bad or drops below a certain output level. That should just about double the blues lifespan. The OLED sets still have motion-blur problems and the curved screens they both use produce some distortion. No doubt there will be flat OLED displays so that problem will be eliminated and motion-blur is delt with (at least for now) the same way as it is with LCD displays.
