OLED displays are widely accepted to provide some of the best image quality money can buy. The problem is that it does take a lot of money to buy them. The current generation of manufacturing tech means that small OLEDs, like the one found on the Nexus One, are really at the upper limit of cost effectiveness. A start up called Kateeva wants to change that. They are developing a system for printing OLED displays.
Kateeva’s manufacturing process has been shown to be capable of printing 1.8 by 1.5 meter OLED displays. They estimate the costs to be roughly 60% of current methods. Don’t get too excited yet. The OLED printer is set to be tested by display manufacturers next year. Just imagine, in a few short years you may be tossing out your tired old plasma or LCD HDTV and buying an OLED version.

It changes the entire story. They say this new method can make costs 60% of LCD manufacturing methods, not OLED. So they are talking about an eventuality where OLED is much cheaper than LCD! I don't know if this is the real deal, but I do believe that eventually OLED will be so cheap that we will just replace panels when we feel like it.
Why care if you $20 huge-screen tv's blues start to give out? Give it to a homeless person and buy another!
