Blu-Ray's Future Is Limited According To Samsung

Director of consumer electronics at Samsung UK, Andy Griffiths, thinks Blu-ray may not have much time left in its lifespan. In fact, he believes the format has just five years left, ten at the absolute most.

And if we are to believe this analysis, Blu-ray would have already reached its peak. Since the players are already dropping in price and the next format is supposedly clear, Blu-ray would phase out very quickly. Samsung readily believes that OLED HD technology will be the next big format.

Manufacturing costs are all that's holding this tech back at the moment, but Samsung predicts 2010 as the year OLED will make the move to mainstream affordability and replace LCD. The future is near, however. At IFA 2008, Samsung showed off two OLED TVs.
