Picture quality: OLED vs SED

I'm curious:

- which technology will give us better black level
- good shadow detail without brightness needed to be set up too high
- more natural but high contrast
- response time
- which will be reflective and which not
- does any of them has a chance to be blinding like some LCDs with their backlights
- will dead pixels be possible on both technologies

Thanx

Doesn't really matter anymore, being that SED production is dead.

Not quite so!! I'm getting some updated info in the next few weeks directly from at top bod at Canon (Hopefully a demo too!!). As far as they're concerned at the moment, it's just a delay.

As for the origianl questions, SED comes out on top!

Both are based on light-emission, not reflection. SED requires complex glasswork and vacuum technology AIUI, whereas OLED could be implemented using printing technology and has the potential to scale to be very cheap to produce - though there are issues with longevity at the moment.
