Will OLED monitors/TVs be on the ...

I've got an OLED display in my mobile phone and it's fabulous.

Here's a good news site: http://www.oled-display.net/

From what I'm reading, they are having a really tough time making anything bigger than 15" that they can sell. Which is too bad because I definitely would pay a premium for all the features OLED gives you.

If they made a 22" at 16x9 I would jump on it.
 
Everyone would love some OLED goodness in the near future, but even if the economy were better, I wouldn't expect affordable large (30+ inches) OLED screens in the next few years. As the Fudzilla piece reports, the industry clearly wants to push 3D at us instead of superior image quality. And expect everyone to own LED-backlit LCDs before OLED becomes the new 'LED'.

My hope is to get my (2009) Pioneer KURO plasma to last until OLED, but I suspect something may go wrong with my KURO before sub-$2000 OLEDs become common.

In the meantime I'd appreciate if the quality (especially uniformity) of IPS and PVA panels and backlighting improved. I suppose variable LED edge backlighting might do that...
 
The demise of Pioneer TVs clearly defined the industry as a quantity entity vs quality. Flat panels have become commoditised and so quality plays very little in the equation. Soon tvs will be so bright they will have the added benefit of giving you a tan, albeit a very unnatural glow...
 
Yeah they'll be on the shelves right next to the SED screens. Does anyone still remember when SED was promised to be the next big thing to Plasma and LCD?

Seriously though, OLED has a long way to go before it makes it to the TV/Monitor market. Even Plasma is fighting a losing fight to the cheapest-to-produce LCD market.


2010 and 2011 should see continued price cuts to LCD and Plasma displays, and hopefully a bigger push towards LED-backlit LCD's.
