Of course Mr Samsung is going to say something like "Maybe for portable displays but not for big screen sets like the ones we produce now, no fickle customer you have nothing to worry about, buy our current range of TV's, you have no need to worry about a better tech coming along and making your new $2000 purchase look stupid"
Watch them change their tune as soon OLED becomes mass market.
Sony for all their faults are at least coming straight out and saying they think its the future.
As for the tech it self, I cant wait, I have recently moved back to a CRT for graphics work and I now have problems watching movies on a LCD/Plasma, I cant get past the poor blacks! Hell even calling them blacks is a bit of a stretch, they are gray at best.
you see, I believe the problems with the picture are part of greater resolutions and more fidelity. These TVs look great, but poor mastering of films and compression ratios (especially on cableTV and satellite TV) are making the HDTVs give a bad impression.
nothing like seeing a big, homogeneous, black patch of pixels substitute what used to be a fairly graded, shadowed door, or black, shadowy part.

Take a look at the 81 series Samsungs. The deepest blacks I have seen on an LCD...period.
