For video it might be OK I guess, but LCD is not that bad either.

how is a wider gamut a good thing exactly? my CRT almost has a perfect SMPTE-C gamut, love it! I don't even bother w/ gamut conversion on it...and AFAIK sRGB/HDTV/REC709(3 names for the same thing) is all you need for photos.
yes convergence in the corners is not too great, but at least it doesn't have a native res.
anyway all the available technologies are made of compromises, the LCD drawbacks are not acceptable to me(low CR, plastic design, etc)....some find CRT or DLP unaccepatble too, it's a free world
