Man would I like one a 40in HD TV for less than 800 dollars.
Motorola revealed its first working nano-emissive display (NED) prototype on Monday at the Society for Information Display (SID) conference in Boston. The company hopes its five-inch diagonal proto-television will attract licensees not yet convinced that Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and plasma screens are the future of high-definition entertainment.
The wafer-thin display -- it's just one-eighth of an inch thick -- is actually just one section of a theoretical 42-inch television, which could be mounted on a wall and play DVD movies that look just as bright and clear as they would on LCDs. If companies such as Panasonic and Sony choose NED, they could start manufacturing high-definition sets as early as 2007 -- and at a the highly competitive price of under $1000.
LCDs, plasma, Digital Light Processing, OLED, CRT and now this. Pretty soon there won't be any single standard for the future. We'll just be picking what we like best, and I remain wholly unimpressed with LCD or plasma.
I like the picture I've seen on LCD screens but with how much they cost my thoughs tend to focus on the old LCD screens for electronic games and such that would have little burnt out spots. If I'm going to shell out that much for something I want to know that it's going to last at least[/b 10 years without a noticeable drop in quality.
That goes for the plazma screens as well.
You can buy a pretty big ass tube televsion for a few hundred dollars and expect that it'll be working pretty well ten years down the road. I don't want to shell out several hundred to a few thousand and have the thing crap out on me or significantly degrade in 5-7 years. Hell, for that price the stinking thing better be lasting 15-20 years.
So far the plasma screen monitors at work have been holding up well considering the use and abuse they take. The picture is still very good. I'm not sure that's how I'd want to go if I was going to use it for watching tv and movies though. Sometimes on fast moves you get a bit of a trail showing. I haven't watched enough video on them to know if it's noticeable with video or not.
By the pricking of my thumb,
Something wicked this way comes.
Open, locks,
Whoever knocks.

I don't trust cheep HDTVs. My dad and I picked up a 27 inch CRT HDTV from Sears one time, broke about 5 minutes after it got plugged in.
And since I realize that was a bit irrelevant, I will ask this, does it sound to anyone else like their saying that these things could be made in modular tiles so that you could build a set of any shape or size? Because that would be extremely cool.

Kind of like the wall tv they had in Total Recall.

No no no. LCD is not your only choice right now. I'm a little surprised there hasn't been as much talk here about DLP. It is one of the best (albeit one of the more expensive) options out there, but if you're willing to pay for a plasma, you might as well consider a DLP. I could do a comparison between LCD and DLP, but it's already been done: http://www.projectorcentral.com/lcd_dlp_update.htm (I know it's projectors, but the same concepts apply to tv's). I'm a personal fan of DLP, even though I don't own one. One problem I'll addmit to that isn't mentioned in the article is that if the DLP chip goes, it's an expensive repair (as the majority of the cost of a DLP tv is directly attributed to the chip).

My niece: "Yeah, from the fridge!"

Mwahaha...behold...my house built entirely out of TV screens!

We got a nice Sony flat screen instead, and the fucker weighs about a hundred pounds.
