You may be able to look at the specs and say that OLED is superior to
anything else, but can the human eye see the difference? Even when the
price comes down (if it comes down), will consumers be eager to embrace
the new tech simply because it's new when they're probably satisfied
with the LED-LCD-Plasma they have? How quickly will new programming come
out that takes advantage of the new tech? Won't everything that is old
still look old? Considering the crap that passes for entertainment these
days, a new tv is not very high on my list.

Emphatically YES! Read any of the reviews of OLED.

That will make those blu ray digital video discs look good.

The more resolution the bigger the screen and if the viewer stays at the same distance the picture will look as sharp as the
smaller screen.

Yes, that is true....but there are laws of diminishing returns. I sit
about 12' away from a 70" screen. In my living room, I can get as far
away as about 18-20 ft if I want, so I guess I could go up to maybe a
100" screen before I have to start expanding the room.

I sit about two feet away from a 22" monitor/TV. That equals one
screen diagonal, a measurement ratio you can use for any size screen
at any distance. If I move any closer I can't clearly see both people
in a conversation.

But yet a 50" 720 and a 50" 1080 look the same from 10" away.

No they don't. And it depends on what is being broadcast.

Maybe he meant 10'.

If not, I have to agree with you :-)
