Anybody else notice that they don't mention "Thin CRT's" or OLED's for PC monitors? Only TV's.

As long as its got a DVI port ill be alright with a 35" 2048x1536 display

No reason to think it wont as most HDTVs have VGA or DVI if not both.

I don't think it works like that... It's probably like <5ms effective.

Sony was supposed to mass produce OLED's last year, but they didn't do it. Another article I saw said that two other companies, I think NEC and Samsung, would be able to to mass produce OLED screens by the end of 2004. Maybe by the end of 2005 we'll see some OLED's on the shelves for an insane price. Then in 2006 they'll become more common.

Will OLED's have poor blacks, background leakage or dead pixels like LCD's? I heard somewhere it's almost the same technology as LCD's, so I'm expecting the answer to be yes.

Poor blacks/light leakage: supposed to be WAY better. It's a light-emitting display (as opposed to LCDs, which use an active backlight and use the LCD panel as a filter), so the contrast ratio is much better and there should be little bleed or leakage of light between pixels. Response time is also supposed to be a good order of magnitude better than with LCD.

Dead pixels: The possibility of dead/stuck pixels is there with any display where the pixels are independent entities (this means both OLED and SED). I do not know if they will be better or worse than LCDs in this regard (though I suspect better).
