Methinks Sony is going to let other companies (like Samsung) do the
OLED R&D work (and spend the R&D bucks.)

They're not stopping OLED production, they're stopping production of
OLED TVs in Japan.

" Sony has announced that it's halting production of its once-highly
touted OLED technology flat-screen HD sets in Japan ..." ...

"Although Sony's OLED sales in Japan are set to end after its current
inventory is exhausted, the company said it currently has no plans to
cease OLED marketing outside of Japan."

OLEDs are also starting to show up in handheld devices.

OLED's will be back.

..... Just after all the LCD plants are paid for
and when the OLED technology is really cheaper than LCD

I have a tape of KTLA's HD sign-on (KTLA-DT 31) during their morning show.
There was a location shot at a Circuit City where they were watching the
launch on an HDTV display. It was when John Glenn went up on the shuttle in
1998 or 1999.*

52" RPTV - $5,500
HDTV tuner - $1,500

Years later I grabbed a Sylvania SRZ3000 HD tuner at Sears for $94 so I
could watch the extra Olympic coverage of 2004 and to see network
programming in 16x9. I still use my Zenith DTT-901 to watch widescreen
shows.

Maybe someday when I'm employed again I'll get an HDTV. :-)

But it has to be 120Hz, no more 3:2 pulldown for me. :-P

*Milton Bearle hit the switch that lit-up KTLA-DT 31, their permanent DT
assignment.

LG's jumping in the puddle, with a 20" model hitting the shelves [maybe]
this year.
