OLED's *should* be low power. Sony's 11" model eats 45 Watts. You can easily find 20" LCD's in that power range -- that's an LCD with a constant back light and more than 2x the screen area. Once they get to the promised "low power" instead of bragging about it without delivering it, I'll be quite happy with OLED.
Also: it seems stupid to leave out laser TV. Not everybody cares about screen depth. If (yes, *if*) picture quality of a laser TV is superior to OLED, and the TV costs half as much, you can be damn sure I'll buy it even if it's 10" thick instead of 1" thick. Picture quality should come first (although if we were talking about a 600 pound 4-foot deep CRT, there'd be an issue for me).

just a slight correction: a 20" LCD computer monitor (like this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005085) eats 45 Watts just like Sony's 11" OLED TV. It's got nearly 4x the screen area (I said 2x before), but it does lack TV tuner hardware. Upgrading to a 20" LCD TV on NewEgg, I'm seeing around 60 Watts. But, again, that's almost 4x the screen real-estate for 30% more power on the LCD compared to the OLED. Even just assuming the TV hardware eats the 15 Watt difference, that puts an OLED 11" monitor at 30 Watts compared to 45 Watts for a 20" LCD monitor. Again, not power efficient by comparison.
I'm still waiting to truly see a low-power OLED...
