New LCD Reference Monitor with up to 4000 steps gray-scale and 30000:1 contrast ratio.

Q4 06. Price is probably arm/leg/first born.

News article describing it.

Sounds very impressive and will give all the other LCD manufacturers a run for their money. The only competition is the new OLED HD screens that will be out in the future.

Sorry, wrong thread. Somebody delete my post.

What about Toshiba's SED technology. Frankly I just want them to ship the product or at least show a working prototype. Things like this are often delayed and more costly when they finally show up.

I have also heard that Canon is going to come out with a truly awesome
display soon. One of my colleague saw a prototype at C.E.S. in Vegas.

Okay, I am back with some additional info I just read from here:

________
SED

Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display is an evolution of good old CRT technology into a flat-panel form. Co-developed by Toshiba and Canon, SED collides electrons with a phosphor-coated screen to emit light. Tiny electron emitters, like miniature CRT tubes, are embedded between two glass layers each driving a single pixel.* The advantage is that you get the super-high brightness and greyscale of CRT technology in a flat panel format, while neatly sidestepping the slow pixel refresh rate of LCD TVs or the ever diminishing brightness of plasma technology. SED TVs could appear as early as this year.
