The big problem with OLED displays today is the short lifespan of the picture elements. But the real potential is that OLED display picture quality surpasses any display on the market. Currently Sony is developing a OLED/ Carbon nanotube hybrid OLED TV. I believe there are other displays that are Carbon Nanotube displays's, but I am not sure if these are different from OLED displays.

Plus, they don't last long. Someone claimed 50000h recently but I doubt that since everyone else got 5000 up to now at best. There's not a single desktop monitor replacement around 19" available, so I'd actually do call this vaporware. One interesting difference tho: they're working on it while SEDs are mainly struggling against company politics, they could well start producing while with OLEDs there simply are some tech problems yet to overcome.
