I haven’t looked up the specs., but with those numbers that’s a little under 7500 Watts on the 12 volt rail… Now if each pixel draws 3uA (microamps), that’s about 7.5 Watts on the 12 volt rail.

how much consuming power for the 55inch SED with 1080X1920 resolution?
Canon reported thah the driving-current of each pixel is about 3mA and the averge working-voltage is about 12V.

3 months with no news, i’m starting to think that SED is stuck for a long time or even dead.

very true, the lcd and plasma market has been a massive draw for people just for the sheer size of the screens not for the quality of the picture. my mate has one of the first panasonic viera plasmas that came out, very ordinary picture indeed.
i know its drifting off topic but there was an article in a paper here in oz about 3D tv’s, anyone know much about them?

Good: People buy these screens because they are flat and new. They think new = better but they don´t understand why everything is suddenly a blurry mess during motion (motion blur or phosphor lag) compared to their old crt:s. Scary enough they accept this and the LCD manufacturers keep laughing all the way to the bank.

I agree Good: This technology should be ilegal.

Good, Actarus and TSoprano: I agree with you, there’s a big difference in picture quality between LCDs and CRTs. It’s a shame that LCDs have dominated the market. The only benefit that an LCD has is that their Thin and brighter.

Unfortunately they fail in image quality and almost every other way. LED backlit LCD’s are all marketing gimmicks, they actually worsen the image quality.

When I’m in an electronic store I notice the difference in picture right away when looking at their LCDs. LCD’s image quality looks almost artificial, don’t even mention rear projection to me, those were a disaster.

Plasma has a more CRT like picture but it’s still not as good. I own a 40″ Sony XBR CRT as well as a 42″ Panasonic Plasma. When I compared a movie side by side, the CRT has better color saturation then my plasma. Thankfully my Sony CRT Television still works great.

For a good couple of years I’ve held off buying a 55″ or larger television set hoping that SED would come out, unfortunately that day hasn’t come yet. I would buy a 58″ SED Television set in a second.

If I had to purchase any 58″ or larger TV I would definitely go with a Plasma, if their still around, it seems as though some of the major plasma companies don’t sell them any more.

I was also hoping that they would come to the computer market as monitors. I would purchase a 24″ Sed monitor in a heartbeat.

As good as LCDs have gotten they still don’t compare to my 19″ Sony Trinitron CRT which still works and looks great.

I’m a big SED and FED, it’s a shame that they haven’t made it to market yet. I mean what could be better than a thin CRT?

Good: You shoud see people saying that it has wonderful picture and no pixeling. This is a complete colective madness. Every buyer says it’s the same picture as a good CRT. I can’t believe that it’s all in their mind.

My current Trinitron offers, by far, a better picture and no clouding, banding, green ghosting…. etc etc.

Canon, this is your oportunity to “eat” the market.

I just tested a LCD and it made my eyes hurt pretty bad. I can’t believe this technology is legal.

actarus…i know for a fact that majority of samsung tvs have crappy basic setups straight out of the box. ie.need tinkering with settings for pic and sound to get good levels, whereas other major brands like sony, pana etc straight out of the box have good preset setting for the average joe.
im with ya in saying that i dont want to buy a plasm or lcd! i’d lean more to plasma if i had to but only for the amount of sport i watch.
