    Field Emission Displays (FED). They're essentially CRT technology put into a flat panel application, currently they're in the testing phases. Sony and a few others were working on them, but abandoned the concept, they however sold it to a company that is currently developing on it.
    How long would that take to be out? If it's made with CRT technology then it could be really good with high refresh rates also. I just googled "Field Emission Displays" and I've seen one that looks like this; Click image for larger version.

    That looks cool but I wonder if the performance would be as good or better than the legendary CRTs. Also, when that is first released it could be well over $600 and that's just too much to spend for a monitor.

    We're still not sure yet. Last I checked, the people that bought the technology were still experimenting with it, but there were reliability issues with the displays they built. I guess it will be another year or so before we start hearing about them, they likely won't hit the market for two years.


    EDIT: Here's a site that tracks this sort of thing
