    Anyone like to guess the time it is going to take before we get affordable large screen OLED TVs ? Are Sony even planning to launching any 32 inch or so models any time soon ?

    I'm guessing when the time comes, LCD and Plasma are finished.

    Does SED have any hope of competing ?

    At least 2-3yrs IMO and even then its going to be expensive. The trend is for bigger and bigger TVs and OLED has started off very small and will take a while to get to 32" and above.
    AFAIK motion handling like all LCD techs is still a problem for OLED, at least the Sony 11" version on sale at the moment.

    SED is DOA, caught up in never ending patent battles. It may never be released and LCD and Plasma tech will have improved to be comparable.

    Really ? I thought motion handling was a major plus point for the technology especially over LCD ?

    I could be wrong but i thought I read that somewhere. No backlight, form factor & contrast ratio are its big advantages over LCD.

    2010 is still the target for the first OLED 32 inch , however it will take a while to mature , the tech will be able to show true blacks and should have a contrast ratio that will beat anything out there at the moment due to the nature of operation.

    Some info here , but as always with Wikis , some of it may be inaccurate.

    Turns out OLED's will have pixel response times, many times faster than LCD or Plasma. When this technology is perfected I'd say it'll bury LCD and Plasma.

    I see that the newest panels are only 3mm thick. Incredible.

    Imagine it like this.

    A panel TV only say 10mm thick hanging on your wall. You'll then have a box beside your sat receiver into which all your HDMI connections will go to and where the CPU for resizing images etc will be. This will then wirelessly transmit the picture to where ever the frame will be in the room.

    Afaik sony claims a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio on that 11" oled.However current plasma's claim contrast ratios of a million to oneThese two for example

    http://www.pixmania.com/ie/uk/993721/art/samsung/ps42a456-plasma-screen.html

    So would oleds have any real contrast advantages over plasma???
