Will SEDTV Technology Make it to Monitors?

[scrapser]

I read an article about SED (Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display). Canon and Toshiba are jointly developing this technology for televisions and Toshiba has abandoned plasma production altogether. The technology appears to offer the best of both worlds (CRT like speed and screen resolution in a flat panel = no more fixed resolution, blurring, or dead pixels). Has anyone heard any rumblings of this finding it's way to monitors? The TV's are supposed to appear on the market next year (Japan first, then other parts of the world later in the year).

This recent article claims Canon plans on releasing PC monitors based on SED in late 2006 or early 2007. Personaly I hope my 24" Sony <A HREF="http://www.sony-cp.com/en/products/crt/f_professional/fw900/index.html" target="_new">FW900</A> CRT lasts until then because i'd like to skip LCD altogether ,I had a 2001FP LCD for awhile and it just couldnt compete with my FW900 on many levels, Especially black level performance wich the article also talks about:
