Toshiba SED TVs Fail To Show - Again
The SED TV technology has been
positioned as a serious challenger to current LCD and plasma TV technology.
Toshiba has been claiming that SEDs (surface-conduction electron-emitter
displays) offer a better picture than either of its rivals and will not cost
much more. However, the first TVs, created with Canon, were due in 2005 but
have been delayed by a series of delays and legal wrangles.
The launch of the first 55in SED 
TVs
is due later next year but Toshiba was badly needed to get some major global
exposure via CES to build up some publicity and demand. This is a blow to an
otherwise interesting technology but the window for its success is now looking
smaller.
With LCD and plasma prices falling
faster than ever, the prospect of a more expensive flat-screen technology
succeeding seem slim.
