... a new technology waits - ready to leap onto the stage...OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) technology promises to address the short-comings of both LCD and PDP (Plasma Display Panels), via:
a. OLED is "self-luminous" - no backlighting needed (as for LCD)
b. Low voltage/current requirements - low heat dissipation (vs PDP)
c. Faster response time = better for movies (vs LCD & PDP)
d. OLED is the thinnest panel technology known - ideal for TV panels
e. OLED is also the lightest panel technology known
f. OLED has a viewing angle equal to or better than LCD & PDP
g. OLED technology will outlast both LCD & PDP technologies
h. OLED colour resolution better than both LCD & PDP displaysOLED technology has already found its way into digicams and these cameras are much easier to use in high ambient lighting situations than their LCD alternatives.
I seem to remember a note from the 2005 CES review that either Samsung or LG were almost ready to demonstrate prototype OLED TV monitors.
Overall, this technology would appear to be superior in virtually all respects to both LCD and PDP, AND is not that far off commercial availability.... As to affordability, we'll just have to wait and see....
Should anyone still go out and buy either LCD or PDP technology?
Why not? Their days might be numbered, but - apart from CRT displays - they're all we've got for now...
On balance, the best PDP's (Panasonic & Pioneer) outperform the best LCD's. At the middle range its about even and at the entry-level, LCD offers better price/performance...
Me? I'm quite happy with CRT for now - I'll wait for OLED...
Follow Ups:
I hear ya. It's hard to give up my 36" WEGA when much of what I see isn't that much better. Like you, I'm waiting for that "Wow" in all aspects that shows up and is affordable. Otherwise, DiLa is among the best I've seen.
