LG Display is a public company that produces LCD and OLED panels for LG and other manufacturers. These OLED screens are used in all manner of devices ranging from phones to 88" TVs. The OLED panels are well regarded for their image quality and characteristics and as such can be found in various high-end monitors and TVs including the recently released 48CX Gaming TV.
LG Display currently produces 70,000 8.5th generation OLED panels per month at its production plant in Paju, Korea.

A vast portion of these production lines are used to serve Western markets. Boycot China, sure. No OLED for you. So I'd rather say, boycot LG if you really want to make a dent.
I almost bit the bullet and got the CX 55, but I'm not comfortable with the price and at 55" I wouldn't be comfortable without a wall mount either.
Why is it so hard to roll out 24-32" OLED Monitors with lower than 4k resolutions...
THIS is the REAL reason behind not making the smaller models... 'cause as usual, moolah is king, everything else is just bling bling for your zing zing ..:laugh:..:cry:..:D
I am also in the "f*ck China" camp, and flat out refuse to buy anything made there, electronics or otherwise...
B9's problem however is that C9 is only 100-200 euros more.Not even on the horizon, so they'll only show up around Christmas. And it makes sense, if you can't make enough panels, you put those you can make in SKUs that you can sell for more.
It would be hilarious if LG announces the next year's lineup before BX hits the stores though.
People still complain about paying that $5 extra when buying clothing, a lot of them made in China, whilst spending $50 (or more) per person in restaurants, theatres et al. If you really want to do something about it then yes as Vayra86 said stop buying their products but more importantly stop paying slave trade prices because you damn well know that someone eventually pays for it!
