Carbon TVs to edge out liquid crystal, plasma? (ZDNet) (http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9596_22-5512225.html?tag=zdfd.newsfeed)

"Size isn't an issue: A 2004 prototype of a nanotube FED measures 38 inches across, far larger than commercially available LCDs. FEDs, in fact, largely will be incorporated into televisions and large computer monitors, Pitstick said. Toshiba's SED televisions will start at 50 inches. Advance, however, said the technology could be used in screens ranging from 2 inches to 100 inches in diameter."

Whoohooo!

I've been waiting for news on this tech for a while now.

Could be great... But I thought OLEDs would be the next big thing?

Doesn't matter to me, though, as long as they find a neat and relatively cheap solution :)

OLEDs seem pretty hot but as of right now, they burn out twice as fast as plasmas do....thats no good :sad:

I'm still interested in the OLED technology. It seems far more interesting than any other thick piece of screen. Oh well, we'll live to see all of those advances anyways. :bounce:
