Comments on: Panasonic still cautious on OLED TVs

At CES, the company expressed skepticism about the organic thin TVs getting bigger and mass-produced. At Ceatec, it hints it could take even longer than previously thought.

Glad to see Panasonic confessing the reality of OLED: It's just not going to be viable for many years to come... if ever. Real R&D money should continue to be spent on improving plasma and the lights behind LCD. We need bigger screens (not thinner) with better off-axis viewing (for LCD) at affordable prices. THAT is where we gain the real advantage of HD; not these cute 11" and 27" desk-size monitors.

We need FED and SED...looks like both plasma and LCD are nearing end of life maybe another 10 years or so..

If plasma and/ or LCD can achieve all of the performance capabilities of FED, SED or OLED at a lower development and production cost, then none of these newer technologies will be necessary. Both plasma and LCD have been inching toward these capabilities for several years and don't have the high production costs and technical problems that have kept these other technologies from being used to any great extent. I think both plasma and LCD will be around for quite some time.

YEAH!!! I remember when Compact Discs first were introduced. The very same comments as those previous posters were all around, but you know the rest of the story!!! LOL
