WEll. They currently have the 27" version working
quite well. They are having a little problem with
getting the contrast to be dark enough, but hey...it's
air...how contrasty can it get?
They have to build each one by hand and it will set
you back about $22k...not a bad price when you
consider that Plasma monitors basically came out with
the same price and the same problem!
Figure in about 5 years, this technology should be
completed for consumer use.
For even more GeeWhiz technology, take a look at oLED.

This technology is currently being used in some Cell
phones and cameras. And HP is perfecting a technique
that will allow OLED panels to be printed using the
same technology as an ink-jet printer! Imaging a sheet
of wall paper that is in reality an oLED panel...or a
cereal box with an annimated panel on the back..
