Plus, we cannot wait 3-5 years. Plasma is enticing except for the whole fading in five years mongering. LCD is OK, except that it is a transmission technology, selectively blocking out the light passing through it in order to give the three primary colors. OLED, of course, is the best of both worlds: it's an emissive technology that will not fade. Its use thus far has been restricted to a few digital cameras and a single model of the Sony Clié PDA(Personal Digital Assistant). OLED would be ideal, but alas, we have no TV as we sold our old one.

I'm not sure why, but that's what the OLED manufacturers/groups have been saying. Gotta wait until the OLEDs come out.
