    According to the good people at Engadget, the "must-have" screen technology is SED, or Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display. Think of it as CRT type technology but with one electron gun for each phosphor pixel. So CRT brightness and blackness, with LCD resolutions, at plasma sizes.

    Reading up on SED, I think it will be middle of 2007 before we see it in Europe and even then it will be hyper expensive. Also there is an issue with the PAL standard in Europe which broadcasts at 50hz, SED will support the 60hz of the US, but running at 50 hz you will get flicker, so they will have to employ 100hz type technology to get around it.

    The last i heard of 3D was that Philips have been working on fo rthe past 13 years. I've also hears that the reason they have spent so long without giving up is that the Adult Entertainment Industry have been investing heavily in it.

    Also Sony gave a working Demonstration of 3D at their annual trade show in Japan 2 years ago
