>>And while we wait for OLED to drop in price, the other technologies keep getting better and they are already affordable. That’s why OLED may never catch on.<<

I’ve seen it go both ways. 8-track stopped getting better, as did Cassette and open reel. Sometimes one technology is trumped by another that does the same thing cheaper and better. Sometimes staggeringly better.

I even sold a few El-cassette decks back in the day. ;)

To be fair, I am a huge fan of LED lighting. I have no doubt whatsoever that it will completely eclipse almost all other light sources for consumer goods that need light, right down to car headlights.

I'm a big fan, too. But I can't wait for the quantum dot light sources which will be nearly 100% efficient.

I still have all three formats and they all work.
