Okay, I get the whole IPS/TN/TFT difference... I was recently looking at the Dell 2408WFP vs. Samsung 245BW/2493HM... but l think Ill hold off a little. It looks like those OLED screens are really impressing the critics (finally, a flat panel that can actually outperform a CRT, so they claim). With backlighting going the route of LED as well over CCL(so individual pixels, or portions of the screen can have their backlight turned on/off as needed), it looks like monitors will not only become more efficient, but provide a better grey-scale/contrast ratio as well.

I just wanted to get some opinions on when LCD's might be catching up with CRT's, or rather flat panels in general. Has anyone seen the OLED's yet?

Or how about bringing back the Penetron displays!?!?! Lol.
 
I've seen the Sony 11" OLED and it is very impressive - almost photographic in colour quality Other than small phone/pda screens, that's pretty much it on OLED AFAIK.
 
You will probably be waiting a while, and even when they are more mass market available, they will be a lot of $$$.

It looks awesome, but it will take time before they optimize their manufacturing and get them down to typical consumer price levels.

I agree, we are talking 3 or 4 more years before an OLED monitor is affordable. Need a decent LCD to tide you over.
 
Ill hold onto my 22" CRTs for now. I like my FPS's, and the lag that a DVI connection has by definition (even if only 40ms) can be enough. I notice when my ping is above 30 on a map, so...
