Not much choice: they put the TV division on the block but found no quick takers.
Focusing on 4K costs nothing (even no-name Chinese TVs have 4K) whereas large screen OLED is a money sink with no near term volume production and their R&D partnership with Panasonic fell apart.
And 4k actually has a use: passive 3D.

It might even save BluRay as a (niche) business.
