Thats cool, starting with small screens will keep cost down and probably help reduce the cost when larger screens are produced.

Only problem is Pop they'll be looking for a way to have these "fail" so the replacement rate isn't once every 15-20 years. Gone are the days of a TV working for 20 years. Now a days they are built to last 7 years or less. Makes for a nice steady revenue stream don't you think?! Maybe that's why the American manufacturers went buh-bye long ago.

I agree. I DO believe that manufactures built things to only last a predicted amount of time. It's not just the US doing it, most do now days. Too much money in repairs for them to build something that last.
