There's something of a proverb in my line of work - "never fall in love with your bets".
I think the same can be applied to a/v gear - humanity is obsessed with stories of failure more so than stories of success - for every person that roots for something to succeed, there's 2 hoping for it to fail.
When a technology faces extinction, it's almost always because it's being replaced by something better.
To me, if I could have the same picture quality, in a slimmer profile, at the same price, that's better - anything after that is just gravy!
