Title: SED: is the end in sight ?
Description: Most of the manufacturers and distributors in the monitor world receive a magazine called "Display Monitor". This is more or less the bible of these actors, the (digital) publication that announces technologies to come, recent improvements, tendencies, market analyzes…Usually, Display Monitor is rather nice, conciliatory, and avoids wounding anyone's feelings but today it isn't. For once, it has the big guns out and is shooting at the SED. The magazine is even predicting an imminent and shameful end of life of this technology.

The last update published about (SED: exit Toshiba, but Canon in 2007 ) this SED is that Toshiba abandoned the project and left Canon alone working on this technology that might be much more expensive to produce than expected. It would be so expensive that only professionals and very wealthy clients will be able to acquire the first 50" diagonal TVs released. We also heard about another problem regarding a licence disagreement with Toshiba and the real owner of this technology Nano-Proprietary (who would also be in disagreement with Canon).

Display Monitor reminds us that the first SED TVs are scheduled to be released in Japan at the end of 2007 and insists on the fact that problems are piling up starting with delays due to a much more complicated implementation than expected. Also, if the product was initially positioned as entry level it has recently changed to ultra high end. This modification is problematic as LCD prices are regularly decreasing and LCD rendering quality has considerably improved. This is so impressive that the revolutionary improvements introduced with the first SED monitors a few months ago do not seem to be so indispensable anymore.

Finally, Display Monitor insists on the fact that Canon isn't a monitor manufacturer and that they will be alone with this technology facing actors with strong networks and a mature technology. According to the magazine, the battle is already lost. It predicts that the manufacturer will abandon soon SED and will motivate this choice by the impossibility to find an agreement with Nano-Proprietary.
