So, Canon, you're really serious about this SED TV thing, aren't you?

Like Sony and Panasonic before you, you've ditched rear-projection television technology plans. That makes sense, almost everyone agrees it is an outdated, dying design.

But you just won't let up about SED, even though, frankly, that technology seems pretty DOA to us as well. But maybe you know something about surface-conduction electron-emitter displays that we don't.

Yes, we all know that SED TVs will have top-notch picture quality, a 100,000:1 contrast ratio, appear razor thin, and consume only the daintiest amount of energy. But it all seems unreal since nobody has ever sold a successful SED. But you keep trying, Canon.

First you got sued for trying to sell SEDs in 2007 that were made using a technique that Nano-Proprietary Inc. says was covered in one of its patents. You were laying low for a while, but now you're back with a new SED production method which you plan to use to mass produce SEDs.

We'll believe it when we see it. -Rachel Rosmarin
