Well, for what is out there now:

Samsung A950/81 - white
LG LG90 - white
Sony XBR8 - tri-color
Sharp XS1U-S - tri-color (just announced)

Not sure what else is coming.

What I've been wondering is how long is the LED sets going to be around.
Everyone is on this bandwagon of OLED's as the future.

Sony and Samsung say they should have large OLEDs around 2010.
That would give LEDs only a REAL 3rd generation on the market by the time larger OLEDs are released.

Granted it might turn out that the LEDs will be the lower end at that time with the OLEDs with the premium prices.

I will say the times I've seen the LED models in person they lose quite a bit of color detail at side angles. It looks perfect sitting right in front of the set but the colors wash out at wide angles.
