not going to happen for a few years keep saving:-p
$10,000
Sounds about right. Though the first panel bigger than 15" on the horizon is due in about 2012 (maybe, SED was due in 2008).
Sometime in 2010 a 15" might come to North America. I expect it will be about $2000.
The problems are that AMOLED manufacturing facility hasn't seen itself pumping in enough volume to push for higher efficiency and fabs will need to convert themselves to adopt to them.
I think it might be 5 years before we will have cheap AMOLED for all.

Well since Sony sold a limited edition 11" model for $2000 you could expect a 24" to go for a very large premium over that. I wouldn't be surprised if 10,000 was pretty close to the mark.
There is a huge "waiting demand" for this tech, so it could be a 2 years after introduction before the first premium pricing wears off. As a demonstration of that, even at 2000 for the 11" Sony model, all of them were sold (Sony only produced a limited amount of them).
Moreover even the Sony was reported to have brightness and color accuracy issues after only a year of normal use, so there are still plenty of issues with the technology.
You'd be far better served by a "good" LED based (with local dimming) LCD and enjoying it for 5-7 years while you wait for the OLED to mature.
