I've never said OLED won't make the grade, eventually, my contention is that it currently has viable competition w/ QDTV. When-&-if 'Fullscreen QDTV' becomes a reality, that might-well be a whole different story.

Just so we understand each other correctly, 'Theory' and 'Facts' are at the opposite end of the spectrum & are diametrically opposed to each other...much like us. And for the record, I'll "consider any field" I damn-well choose !!!
"OLED tv's are theoretically cheaper to produce than the current Q dot televisions"
Hmmm, that's news to me...& apparently news to LG as well:
"We're not going to sell a ton of OLED televisions in 2015," says David VanderWaal, LG's senior director of marketing. They're too expensive. And LG doesn't expect its 65-incher to fall below $7,000 by the 2015 holidays -- almost a year out. Same-size, high-end 4K LCDs cost a third as much.
Not ready for the masses
The reason for the delay is production yield. That's the percentage of TVs deemed good enough to sell as opposed to discard, and relatively low yields continue to make OLED TVs more expensive to manufacture than their LCD counterparts."
http://en.ofweek.com/news/The-great-OLED-revolution-has-arrived-at-a-price-27466
And personally, I find it highly doubtful that LG can all-of-a-sudden reduce the price of their 55" OLED-TV by a whopping 73% & still be in-the-black;
List Price: $10,999.99
Price: $2,999.00 + $37.99 shipping
You Save: $8,000.99 (73%)
http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-55EA9800-Cinema-Curved/dp/B00E5U3YEK
But, by all means, believe whatever you want to, it makes no-nevermind to me.
Yes, from my recollection, Japan was adept at that under-handed practice & (w/ subsidy support from their government) used it to undercut & ultimately destroy the American steel industry, as I recall. Similar tactics have been employed more recently by the Chinese in the solar arena , but unlike the steel incident , the American government has levied tariffs on Chinese solar panels to (successfully) level the playing field.
This situation w/ LG however, will most likely get down to how long LG can hold their breath before yelling 'uncle' ;)
QDLED-OLED TV pricewar heating-up...
...knowing that OLED's are still more expensive to make than QDTV, I would surmise that LG is 'subsidizing' (absorbing) the costs overruns to create the illusion of actually being cheaper...a long-held (but shady) biz-plan in the orient: http://www.wired.com/2015/10/lgs-4k-oled-tvs-now-cheaper-4k-lcd-sets/
But while OLED-TV is already maxed-out on being sustainable pricewise, indications are that the pricing of QDTV's have a lot more room to move on a competitive cost basis...this should be interesting to see how this all plays out.

DARPA's fascinating self-healing body initiative:

Can't say as I really care one way or the other...
now, if QMC were to fit into the picture, that's a different story...we'll see.
Could-be...if edge-lit, that might-well suggest QDV...
but either way, they'll need to substantially reduce their price-points from the
proposed $6K to $130K , to be of any relevance to the average consumer.
Same goes for the initial QDTV offerings from the other OEM's.
Nice find Jamis...glad to see the only American TV manufacturer left, is getting with the program. Vizio seems to have a good reputation & this is a new development for them. I had researched them recently & they hadn't as-yet adopted QD-tech. I haven't seen any data on who might be supplying their QDots or what procedure they might be using [films, lightbar etc]. To the best of my knowledge, Dolby chooses to work in conjunction with compatible techs & isn't necessarily tied to any one OEM or supplier.

In my 'dreams', QMC was added to these lists...but on waking, I'd settle for a mention on Bloomberg TV ;)
I reckon it goes with the territory Dock...
being on the cutting edge of science for the Saudis' is not at all consistent with a culture still living in the 7th century...the odds on this weren't much good from the get-go...especially for a society that still believes in 'honor killings', putting bags (burkas) over womens heads, giving a 1,000 lashes for running a dissenting blog & cutting the heads off of people for questioning the state-mandated religion & other questionable 'offenses'.
If I were one of their citizens (heaven-forbid), I'd get at least a 1,000 lashes just for writing this...go-figure ;(
The way I see it, the smartest thing Dr.J ever did was get the hell out of there....& I'm actually 'glad' we're not doing biz w/ them.
