LG 27EP950 – Delays for the UltraHD OLED monitor

What They Say

More information has been seen on the new LG 27EP950 OLED monitor which uses an IJP panel from JOLED. (LG’s 27″ OLED monitor, the 27EP950, to cost $2,999). The monitor is now due in ‘Autumn 2021’, delayed from the summer. Pricing is not yet clear and Prad.de reports that the price on the 32″ LG 32EP950 version is now €3,249, although LG in the US is still listing it when we published this article at $3,999 (and ‘out of stock’)

What We Think

I wonder if there are panel production or quality problems that are causing the delay? Beyond the panel, it doesn’t look like an unusual design. (BR)
