for the part about "years before another technology comes out and be cheap enough to afford". RPTVs (LCos/SXRD/D-ILA & DLP) and LCD will very soon be using LED backlighting instead of lamps and color wheels [DLP]. Their color, black level and contrast ratios will be much better. Better than Plasma(?) - that remains to be seen but if not it will be a lot closer. Toshiba/Canon is still saying that they will have their SED technology out in Japan by the 4th quarter of this year and in the U.S. by the 3rd quarter of 2008. SED displays are said to be relatively cheap to manufacture and should be in line with the current technologies pricing. SED displays should also be better than everything else.
