Sed and FED are both great technologies but as time ticks on the price goes up.
The main manufacturing advantage was that you could re purpose a CRT assembly line to produce them, so you saved a big chunk of cash not having to build a whole new factory.

As CRT fabs close the advantage shrinks. LCD's have managed to catch up at the high end prices. As a reference professional monitors cost about $1100 per inch, so a 30 inch monitor costs $33,000. It's only a matter of time for technology to drop into consumers hands.

It seems the time for fed and sed is approaching a close before even one product got to market.
