Although the SED technology is cheaper to produce, the costs will remain high until the stocks of the LCDs, Plasmas and anything else that hasn't sold is sold. Another ripoff by the manufacturers. SEDs were susposed to come onto the market at 50" to 110" displays.
Now Canon-Toshiba will make smaller versions to make up the costs of initial production and the law suits that held up SED production. You can look for a low end monitor to be quickly replaced by a higher end and on and on until they produce the SED they planned on for several years ago. Its no longer about new technology, its all about money and profits... real big profits. If we stopped buying LCDs and Plasmas for 90 days, the prices would drop. They are still producing cheap LCDs that do not live up to the hype. I'll keep my CRT until the SEDs are up to the standards I need and not what they think I need.
