Lcd tv's could soon be obselete, i'm not particularly bothered as i prefer plasma. There's quite a few new technologies hoping to make it to the mainstream, i like the sound of laser tv myself. Have a butchers at this.

Read the story. It answers its own question, and the answer is 'no'.

Give 5 years of time to pass, God knows what could change or emerge from nowhere. Innovation, it's a wonderful thing.

So, we're agreed it's a total non-story, then...

Did you hear that next year no new petrol cars will be made? they are being phased out in favour of lower emmissioned electric (solar powered, of course) vehicles.

Re: Lcd to be obselete?

And the relevance of this one is that at some point in the future, LCD techology will be surpassed by a new, better technology.

Goodness, I didn't see that one coming... Smile

I didn't know we had 12 year old bullies trying to make a name for theirself by saying some people have no real purpose in life. When your the one posting on an article you didn't find at all interesting, must have a lot of time on your hands, it was an off the cuff thing. Sorry i made life difficult for you meldenridge, do yourself a favour, look in the mirror and try to justify your own existence

But precious little in that one beyond 'there will be new technology sometime in the future'. Even some companies actively involved in the development of OLED say it'll be a long time before the technology becomes anything like mass-market, and are working on improving the performance and technology of plasma and LCD so much and so quickly that OLED could actually be an irrelevance before it's anything more than a blip on the geek radar.

Funny isn't it, you attack me for replying to meldenridge who made fun/bullied me, yet you don't even say a thing to meldenridge for questioning me about my existence, saying i have no life which makes him the instigator/the bully, the guy who started the childish name calling off. You should be telling him off but no, you'd sooner warn the guy who sticks up for himself.


 I can't understand it. The ones who hit, get told off, but the ones who hit back, get a rollocking. Read the posts andrew and you'll see that he "attacked" me first.


Ahhh, Justice is never done.......

Re: Lcd to be obselete?

Looked to me like he was criticising the author of the article rather than you (unless you're Nik Taylor, but how was he supposed to know that!).

I think you may be taking comments too personally fella Big Smile
