you are kidding, right?biggerdjam

Why would he be? Sounds like a reasonable question. Sudden advances in technology or new software innovations can jump up on you sometimes.

No. LCDs will never beat plasmas, not even "crystal LEDs". OLEDs will, but the technology is still in it's infancy. Prices will be high and color accuracy will be poor. It will take a bit for the price to come down and the issues with the first few generations to be fixed.

Not at all. OLED will need time to mature, just as plasma did. That took a few years before they really started to be great. 3D is still catching on, so you're TV will last until DisplayPort starts being used more often. 1080p still isn't available for TV shows. 4k2k, unless you're PC gaming, won't be at the same level 1080p is for awhile.
