From the Herald Sun
I hadn’t heard about this before. Does anyone have any info on this potential SED television problem? I’ve done a thorough search and can’t find any reference to it.
“But though inventors Canon and Toshiba keep promising to release SED TVs this year, don’t hold your breath. The reason for the delay may be the sets have one major glitch that neither inventor has yet found a way around: SED colours age at different rates. That means the short life of the sets remains problematical.”

SED uses standard crt high voltage phosphors. There is no reason for one colour to age any faster than another. I think someone is confusing SED with OLED witch has had blue ageing problems.

The posted entry above is nonsense. T.V. techies say this impossibe with the new/old sed technology.

It would be interesting to hear, from the Herald Sun author, where he got this information from.

I’ll try to track this down and see what’s going on. Perhaps I can get a comment from Toshiba as well. I haven’t heard anything like this from any other source so I really wonder where it came from.

I can tell you that if its the herald sun newspaper, then its most probably
wrong, their technical features writers are for the most part, just rehash
people, all they do is reprint the promo material sent to them, and make
out its a technical review, they have no idea about SED and its spec’s
at all, I would suggest that anything with the source herald sun, be ignored
in the future,
