As much as I know better than to buy first generation products I think I'll be tempted to run from the LCD the moment these are available. I just hope they see the light of day in 2009 unlike all the dates Canon threw around for SED.

Hell, you can tell in the demo the difference in contrast ratio and brightness they have versus LCD tech. These look promising!

I'd be glad to be one of the idiots to buy this as a first generation product.... drool.

Sony, if you're reading this, send me one my way please

I think that blog post is based on a much older press release or trade show demo. I believe they said that these monitors would be available as high end broadcast equipment first i.e. think in terms of $10K-$30K.

Also the FED company was unable to buy the plasma manufacturing facilty from Pioneer as intended (Pioneer are outsourcing panel manufacture to Panasonic) Unless there is a back up plan in place, don't hold your breath for FED monitors to appear soon...
