SED TV

I'm just wondering if this technology will be available in retail stores
soon.

I want to get an HDTV.

Should I wait.


Thanks

Canon & Toshiba have effectively shelved SED based TVs for the
foreseeable future. If you want to get a SED TV, you may have very long
wait, possibly forever.

The era of HD TV is now upon us with several dozen new national HD
channels that have started up in August or will be over the next 2 to 3
months such as CNN-HD (fired up a HD test feed over the weekend),
TBS-HD, FX-HD, Sci-Fi HD, USA-HD, Discovery-HD, History-HD (went live on
Dish yesterday). These channels won't get added to all the cable
companies right away, but they eventually will be.

If you an Over the air viewer, most markets now have the major
broadcast network digital stations operating at full power on their
digital signal.

Prices for HD TVs have continued to fall and there was another round
of list price cuts for most flat panel brands in August. If you want the
best picture quality, check out the 2007 Pioneer xx80 series & new
Elites and the Panasonic plasmas. The new Samsung LED back light LCDs
have finally shipped and they look pretty impressive, although they are
1st generation models of the new technology.

Why wait any longer?

I'm guessing no. Don't plan on it coming in the next two or three
years at all.

I wouldn't wait for SED technology, there are plenty of other reasons
to wait, and plenty of reasons to go ahead and buy. It really depends
on how much you want to spend, and when.

There is a small company in Texas that holds a critical patent used in
the nano-tubes. They want too much money from Canon so Canon can't come
out with the TVs profitably. SED's tech looks cool, too bad we won't
see it anytime soon.

Someone should remind them of the adage: "Pigs get something, hogs get
nothing".

That's what I've read also. If they don't watch out they just might get
technologically left behind, instead of
cashing in on their patent.

That's just it. OLED may pass it by. Then they will have to license it
on the cheap if at all. But things could change soon too if the company
relents.

Either way, we get a picture that is incredibly better than LCD and plasma.

First plastic OLED on a printed polymer semiconductor was demonstrated this
year.
Imagine an HD display that literally costs 10 cents per square foot!
An HD screen painted on your car instead of paint.
