SED displays are driven digitally, as the electron emitters are arranged in a matrix, like the transistors of an LCD.mike_j_johnson said:
Individual pixels are driven directly, so there's no noticable flickering.
From the blurring and flicker-free, ultra-sharp image?
Unlike CRTs, SEDs do not produce X-rays or any other EM radiation, aside from light (photons), just like an LCD, plasma, etc.
An SED display uses 2/3th the energy of an LCD display, and 1/3th of a plasma one of comparable size.
Well, in essence it uses the same principle, only it's a million times more efficient, solving virtually all of the problems of CRTs.
Just wait until you've seen an SED display sitting next to an LCD and plasma one. It'll blow you away.
so do i wan't to have my old CRT monitor until then? I'ts gonna be a looooong wait, at least 3 year to be realistic. I suspect a nice LCD is the only choice for a while.jienn said:Elledan, have you seen the SED in action? I'm curious. Do you know when it will be available for computer monitors at a reasonable price? I only know that toshiba is planning to launch a SED TV this year (news from late 2004). It should be out soon if what they said holds, but the price would be high they said.

Look promising, but full production will be in 2007

I've two 17" flatscreen, SM CRTs on my desk, and while I won't claim that they aren't big, bulky (heavy) and double as space heaters, I won't switch to LCDs because they're simply too expensive for my current budget, I'm not satisfied with the image quality of sub-$400 LCD displays (my CRTs together cost me under 300 Euro) and I'm not prepared to deal with issues like brightness spots, dead pixels, ghosting/smearing, washed out colours, etc.IceWind said:
Eventually the phosphor dots will fade, yes, but this takes hundreds of thousands of hours. SED (and NED, and FED) displays will also use the same phosphor, so my point standsSyndicated_Death said:

I wouldn't mind reclaiming some more desk space, but right now it just wouldn't make sense.
Not personally, but everyone who has seen such a comparison as I described was blown away by the clear differences.jienn said:
I've no idea yet when sub-30" displays will be manufactured, all I know is that 50+" displays (HDTVs) will become available for sale around Q2 2006. Since the HDTV market (home theaters and such) enjoys its high profit margins there's little doubt that these initial SED displays will be priced equally to similarly sized displays.
Stick with a good CRT unless you need the space that badly. Don't forget that for the price of a single good (17+", non-TN) LCD, you can buy a very good CRT. It's not like the difference in power usage of CRTs and LCDs will kill you either.Initial impression from a AV-mag can be found here: http://www.ultimateavmag.com/news/011705PPCES/

SEDs are comin out Q4 2005. as said before, full production (cheaper costs, more options) will be available in 2007.logo29a said:
