Sounds like something to keep the elves busy in the shop

Not a nice thing to call asian factory workers;-)
OLED is going to be it, that is if we surrive the current unopleasantness
(we could all be eating roots next year).
I KNOW PQ is key for this group, myself included, but OLED beats SED in
several pratical areas.
SED is basically "fixed" plasma.
OLED screens can be rolled up, produced in different shapes easily, and when developed
in the future, nano based paint will allow a screen to be painted on a wall.
Economies of scale are teh only thing holding up OLED, get those right and screen life becomes secondary, because at a cheap price they will be easily replaced.
All current tech is a stopgap, OLED is what they will be using in the future.

* "another?" You mean to say you paid that for the first one? Right though, when Plasma hit you couldn't hardly find one for less than $10k. I wonder how many of those are still in service and that was before HDCP and HDMI.
