Does it present a marketing problem? This is a situation where we have new technology that costs less and delivers a higher standard. Normally, you release something that incorporates new technology at a higher price. People buy it because they want the higher standard and are willing to fess up the extra money. This is the reverse. If you market better stuff that costs less how do get rid of all the old more expensive stuff that look worse than the new stuff? I'll bet the effort to preserve revenue stream delays the entry of OLED into mass production more than any technological delays.

This all supposes a fixed number of manufacturers are producing these units. It only takes one reasnably large company to undercut them and the prices will tumble. If OLED does what it says Plasma will be history for most applications.
I was just about to buy a $3000 plamsa set, but will probably hold off to see when a 42"+ HDTV panel comes out...
