Hey look! It's Engadget's Best HDTV of 2005! I guess now it can be their best HDTV of 2006 and *still* not actually be a shipping product.
All beating-of-a-dead-horse aside, this is a bummer but not really all that surprising, if true. It's not a good sign that Canon/Toshiba didn't have even a prototype of something bigger than the 32/36 inch (nobody seems to agree) SED panels they first showed off in 2005. That just doesn't bode well for shipping a product this year. I'm thinking of buying an HDTV later this year and would liked to have considered SED, but with other display techs steadily improving (1080p Plasmas, bigger LCDs, LCoS, LED light engines) I'm not sure I can wait around for this vaporware.
