--Engadget poster is newb, can't write, doesn't realize FED isn't new. The Sony FED they are showing doesn't sound as advanced as SED prototypes reported on Engadget ages ago...--
I cannot speak to the newbness of the poster but to suggest that SED is more advanced than FED is not really accurate. SED is a simplified process but that does not make it more advanced. Also those commercial SED units have yet to materialize and the dates for that commercialization have been pushed back about 6 times. Cannon announced they would have one in 2004. Still not one available. The story of companies trying to make SED work is almost a Greek tragedy since they all seemed to have died along the way.
In the end I hope both of these technologies succeed. I do not like the state of current flat panel technology and will be happy to see the next round of monitor battles.
I meant advanced as in how close to production and the specs given for the prototypes. The SED prototypes demonstrated had better specs plus it was Canon and Toshiba - not just a single company.
