Have they improved on the life expectancy of the blue OLED to a decent time? The different colours deteriorate at different rates, the blue (from memory) being the shortest lived. This means over time the colours get off balance. Have they resolved this issue? or have they put in place an algorithm that changes the colour balance over time in relation to expected deterioration? I guess if you can afford to spend $8000 on a TV now, you won't care if it still looks like new in 5 years, you'd have the next new thing out (blue phase glassesless 3D with enhanced resolution through upsampling maybe?).

Technophiles account for roughly 7% of the marketshare and purchase new tech the nanosecond it gets released. [early adopter]
The next 80% of purchasers follow the herd [mass market] and the remaining 13% will buy it because there are no other types of televisions available. [late adopters]
The mindset of each is this:
early adopters buy because they want to please themselves
mass market buy because they want to please everyone else
late adopters buy because they have no choice
To the early adopters, cost of ownership is not on their tick list
To the mass market, the cost lowers once it becomes mass market, so is irrelevant as they only want to buy it 'to fit in'
To the late adopters, the cost is determined by how long they can own it for, not how much it costs.
So, if you really truly are a technophile, you will find $8k from somewhere, I promise you.
If anyone wishes to question this; I recommend you look at the forums here and count how many posts are variations of 'please tell me which cpu/gpu/hdd/ssd/mb/television I need to buy to fit in'.
It's more than you think...

Sometimes they would set the default saturation of blue to higher than red and green on OLEDs so when it ages it won't lack blue so much but that means it has a blue tint when it's new.
They have blue which lasts much longer now, so unless you plan on keeping the TV for like 10 years it shouldn't be an issue. I dunno how long the average person keeps a TV but from what I've seen it is as long as they possibly can...

From my understanding, didn't they use and OLED light panel with a 1:1 ratio to the pixel count, then apply a LCD color filter over top of it?
Fixed the problems they were having.

I thought the "super", just signified touch capability? Or did I miss something...

Super AMOLED Plus you mean. Super AMOLED shares subpixels to get a pseudo high resolution rather than each pixel having it's own individual red, green, and blue.

I'd love a 32" OLED HDTV. The super-sexy 5" screen on my PS Vita shows how wonderful OLED really is with a crisp, sharp display, terrific viewing angles, vibrant colours and pitch-perfect super-deep blacks. My next HDTV will definitely have to be an OLED (hopefully minus 3D which I can't see anyway so I'm loathe to pay extra money for something I wouldn't/couldn't use).
