Hi Joe,

I should probably “quote” the portions of news stories that I use in the posts. Since I don’t have any kind of inside track into the SED world, the majority of what I post is from other sources.

Thanks for the helpful comment.

Like you, I am very excited about this new technology and I appreciate what you are trying to do with this website. My suggestion is that you clearly indicate the portions of your post you cut and paste verbatim from other websites. Summarizations are one thing but this post made it seem you were passing off another personâ€™s words as your own. Thanks and hopefully the TV reviews can start sometime in the very near future.

I’m a big fan of hires CRTs (mostly Trinitron), but I must admit I was shocked when I read that CRTs were just out of production in Japan! It did sound dated.
I guess this makes us realize just how much we need a replacement to CRTs in terms of picture quality (well, black levels, colors and contrast ratios, if not resolution). SED might be it if it ever sees the light of day. FED is similar enough anyway, so maybe we shouldn’t put all our eggs in the same basket.
Hopefully 5 years is the most we’ll have to wait. (Don’t you just love those “5 years” deadlines? Seems they are all over the place.)

Thanks M. Mullica,

Some of those lines seemed a little out of date. Unfortunately, the year wasn’t mentioned in the version of the story I found. I’ll have to check more carefully in the future.

The story you quote as being “recent” is from February, 2006.

Also, “the year is unlikely to..”, which year,
again, this is from 2006.

Very deceiving for those of us watching the sed story play out.

Same with “Toshiba plans to end crt sales…April this year…” this was for 2006.

I think you need to make a clarification.

Thank you. M. Mullica
