I had high hopes for these. Although as Zebo said, I didn't expect them to a good business venture given that their main advantage would have been the image quality, something that most people aren't willing to pay extra for. OLEDs seem to have more of a future given that they can be printed on flexible surfaces.
I love completely uninformed people telling others to "think before posting." Zebo, I suggest you take your own advise and read up on the subject before talking smack. The early 32" SED displays had a MASSIVE 720p resolution (but that was just a demo) and later on in October 2006 Toshiba and Canon announced they would actually be releasing a 55" SED set in 2007 (it now seems to be a 50" model by the END of 2007). I don't know about you, but a 55"/50" monitor is WAY too big for my desktop and the rest of 99.999% of the population. SED would be great for a desktop display (if they could get it in teh 20"-30" size range), but that doesn't seem to be the market Canon is after. SED is really competing against plasma for the crown of ultimate HDTV. Until recently, is was really a toss up for what was the best HDTV. Some people said plasma, some preferred LCDs for their resolution. However, since CES 2007 Pioneer shocked and amazed audiences with their new plasma that they will be releasing in the summer of 2007. The display was so amazing, people have been suggesting that SED will be DOA even before hitting the market. Yeah, it was THAT good. It will be a full 1080p with blacks so black, they almost blend in with Pioneer's glossy black frame. The thing is simply AMAZING! Not to mention Canon has been paper launching SED since, well, forever. This may very well be a tech that never came to be, and/or may be just too little too late from Canon. If you are waiting on SED, check out Pioneer's new plasma this summer. The only question is, how much? Which is a pretty big question. But we'll see.Originally posted by: Zebo
Yeah right. I guess you dont' see a problem with the disgustingly gigantic pixels plasmas have on someones desktop? Think before you post.

WOW, that's amazing! When has Canon announced they would debut this smaller model? Apparently it is as easy as saying, "they could make it smaller." Canon has problems getting out a 50" model, don't hold your breath for a smaller model. Like I said, Canon seems to be targeting the HDTV market, NOT the PC desktop market. And if Canon is planning on entering teh HDTV market with SED, they should have done it a long time ago. They are going to have a TOUGH time with Pioneer's new display sitting right beside it. TOUGH time.Originally posted by: Zebo

Yea sure. 36" and 1080p was demo'd here:

That's still too big for a desktop monitor but the difference is SED can be made even smaller.
I don't consider any HDTV under 50". And given the SHARP prices drops of LCDs and plasmas in recent years, 50" will most likely become the new standard for HDTVs. Why get a 42", when the 50" is just a little more.
What kills SED is cost and a product that is too little too late, and STILL not on the market. Plasma is doing very well with sets above 50". 1080p plasmas will eventually come down in price and take over the 720p sets. The Pioneer 1080p 50" plasma dropped from $10,000 to <$5000 in a very short period of time, and like I said, Pioneer's new set is not just a little step above current plasmas, it is a HUGE jump. For people that want the best HDTV set this summer, Pioneer will own the market. No doubt about it. The only question is, how much? But given the current price drops in plasmas, Pioneer can't charge $15,000 for their new set. If the 50" comes out at $5000 or lower, it's mine.
Apparently the new Pioneer plasma has black levels that are superior to anything we've seen from SED so far. The contrast ratio is too high to measure (i.e. the black level reads zero on a detector).
While I can only apologise if my TV viewing posture causes you this much emotional pain
SED was never going to be used in desktop monitors anyway; so why is the possible demise of SED in anyway relevant to the subject of desktop monitors?Seriously, do you have problems reading English? YOU made this into a desktop argument. The topic is SED. And the ONLY reason you moved this to a desktop monitor argument is because you did not understand the facts. Facts:
Distraction? I love this, you don't know what you're talking about, and I'm the distraction. Give me a freakin' break.
