5/22 Are LED monitors much better than LCD monitors?
\_ OLED is still too new to know. They're direct emitters, so don't
have a backlight, and can turn completely off, hence better black.
The early news was that blue pixels burn out relatively quickly.
\_ FWIW, Zune HD will use OLED.

no cable, which means I have no TV in about 3 weeks.
