I saw one on demo in a top end hi-fi shop earlier in the week, and they are quite startling. Fully visible on bright direct light. The viewing angle was wider than a similarly sized plasma (closest was 28".. but you know what I mean.. smallest plasma they had) Give them time for the price to come right down and the size to go up and they may just kill off the lcd market. Right now they are up against plasma tech, and size wise no competition...

Possible uses I can think of right now would be for notebook size displays which need to work outdoors in sunlight and for camera screens/viewfinders.. that kind of thing.
