Well I've already explained to kiler the technical aspects of the debate said I wouldnt go into such great detail again, so there will be no uproar from me, just a few choice words.
Seriously, it is obivous kiler doesn't know anything about display tech and is not interested in learning.
Ya.. I know about led.. you do know the cost right?
http://www.necdisplay.com/products/ProductDetail.cfm?Product=412
Estimated Street Price(US) : $6999.99
For a 21.3" display?
I dun think so.
why bring up such high end displays?
That's not a consumer product...

Take a look at the following article:

http://pcworld.about.com/news/Sep022004id117629.htm

The display listed there is a 42" LCD TV that will be sold for $10,000 starting in november. This is definately an expensive display at about 3x the price of current top end 42" LCD tvs. On the other hand, note the last sentance in the article:

In fact, unless you're reasonably affluent, you probably won't see them in your living room soon, either. O'Donnell predicts, "In the near future, [they won't be] common because they'll be too expensive. But in two or three years, they'll be common." They are, he adds, "clearly the way to go."

Right now these aren't really commercially viable displays except for the wealthy. In several years, they should be much more reasonably priced.

Edit: Sorry, I misread the article. There is a 40 inch model at ~$7600 and a 46" model at ~$10,000. This changes the ratios, higher for the 40 inch model and lower for the 46" model.

Exactly.. several years.
I've read about led lcds before..
But to bring them up here when they aren't a consumer product is questionable
