I saw an interesting point in Clay's article. It was only two words, "next generation".
The light bulb went on after reading Clays write up below and then from one of the articles I just read, and can't find it to reference, that talked about this next generation of TV's coming out later this year. I found another article that explains it a little bit and posted that below, in lieu of the original I can't find.
"The other important feature of this heat stability news is the fact that Quantum Materials has reached, or is rapidly approaching the heat stability threshold which will enable flat panel designers to position the quantum dots directly on the surface of the LED light source. This is the desired design variant of utilizing quantum dots in flat panel displays to increase the color gamut of next generation 4K flat panel displays as it is our understanding that this design works much more efficiently than the current display surface film and edge capillary designs on the market at this time."
And how is the increase of color gamut of the next generation 4k displays going to be accomplished? It is with QD's and HDR, or High Dynamic Range.

"What are the benefits of quantum dots?
For LCD screens, the benefits are numerous. They're the kind of benefits that are simply no-brainers.
Higher peak brightness
One of the reasons TV manufacturers like quantum dots is that they allow them to produce TVs with much higher peak brightness. This opens up some interesting possibilities, such as enabling support for 'high dynamic range' TVs that support standards such as Dolby Vision.
In simple terms, Dolby Vision is a new film standard that, when used, will result in content that retains more colour and contrast information than existing standards. The result will be pictures that have greater differences in the brightest and darkest parts of the image and look more 'dynamic' and real as a result.
Imagine shots where looking into the sun actually feels like looking in to the sun for real and you get an idea. To do this you need brighter TVs and quantum dots deliver exactly that.

or for a more in depth explanation of HDR: http://www.flatpanelshd.com/focus.php/flatforums/rss/focus.php?subaction=showfull&id=1435052975

So these HDR Ultra High Resolution TV's are expected to be developed and available later in 2015. I wonder if that would be in time for Christmas? LOL I would imagine that is right in line with a significant ramp up of orders for QD's. So now the question is, are we going to get a present for Christmas in July?

PS. Party in Hawaii will be coordinated after we exceed $5. That should give everyone a chance to attend.

Still restricted to one post a day so I'm not ignoring you, I just can't reply.
