They keep mentioning large area displays, architects and such. Seems like this might not be a home technology. Not to say that it couldnt become one.
But with that specific focus they may be looking to target the market by still charging assloads of money but its less then a comparable LCD array and such

I dont think they would use trainstations and subways as an example if the tech were hard or expensive to produce.
Anyways, if they could dominate the private marked for the next..10 years, why would they pass?

Plasmas sit at what? 600Hz ish?

As far as i know, LCDs are still at the fake 100Hz for normal tvs. If you read the fine print you find that its really around 60Hz for 1080p.
Its like with amps, they lie about the specs. Unless ive missed something in the last 6 months, nothing have changed.

no but they are thinking about pushing the likes of say a pepsi and other large companies to buy video advertising that could be brought more affordably to something like the walls of a subway and bring money to a city.
If the current product costs 250k, and i offer a product that is 150k that works way better its a significant savings period. Now if in the better product it becomes more functional and flexible in its uses and where it can be used and because of its 40% reduced cost more viable thought for different things then i can push the boundaries of where and what it can be used for.
You dont think a city like newyork wouldnt love to sell motion ads for subway walls where millions of people every day would see them.
Making similar technologies cheaper is a huge thing to consider but making something cheaper doesnt always mean affordable for the average person.

True enough.
From my point of view at this point, the tech will be available for everyone.
My view is only speculation tho. Well just have to wait and see. And hope ;)

mine is purely speculative as well it just struck me as odd that most of the things they said about it were for large area displays which would typically be used for advertising or sports venue type scenarios.
