Looks like LED TV is on the way. Does anyone know how it might stack up in terms of reliability, power consumption? Anything else that the brochures might fail to mention?

Not any any realistic price suitable for the regular consumer any time soon.

As was the case with plasma and LCD tv's when they were all new and exciting. Now just about anyone can have a big one bolted on their wall ;)

Exactly , I was privy to seeing some of the new tech screens recently including a huge 114 inch unit at 30k , how long before many of us have one ( the 75 inch was already affordable)

It seems these days that the size of a TV is inversley proportional to the owner's income.

I've seen a Sony OLED TV in action.
Pros: Amazing picture Screen was only 3mm thick
Cons Screen was only 11" Box with electronics underneath negates the 3mm thick screen OLED life is dubious This set was very expensive.
Sony say that they will have a 27" version out soon for about USD1500. Hopefully they have got it right because the picture makes plasma and LCD units look very poor.

**OLEDs appear to be pretty decent, in terms of power consumption, reliability, but life-span is not well known. The big plus they have is that large screens should be much easier to produce than even plasmas or LCDs. The technology does not demand a rigid, glass covering. Ultimately, that may mean the screen could be rolled up for transport and unrolled and stuck to the wall. Expect prices to plummet with scale of manufacture as per normal.
Speed, contrast, viewing angle and brightness are superb.

The size of one's tele is also inversely proportional to one's appendage. :-)

**Smart move. About a million years ago, the girl I sat next to in school lived in a home with no TV. She was the smartest person in the entire school.

Most of the people I know who don't have or watch tele ( as opposed to 'rarely') are neurotic and self-absorbed, self-satisfied, and smug.

If she was so smart, why did she sit next to you? ;-)

**She didn't. The teacher allocated seating, depending on the IQ results. I was second smartest. We had a TV in the house. -:(

And quite possibly a co-incidence. There are lots of good educational programs on TV, with many ABC/BBC programs etc. regularly shown in schools. Did your school ever show any, and if so did the girl excuse herself I wonder? Lets face it, it's not owning a TV that's the problem, it's the person who chooses when and what to watch.
