Poll: Favorite Display Technology

I'll have to vote for VFD, as they just look really nice. However, in practice, it will depend on the application.

Siwastaja:
Nothing beats 7-segment LEDs for numerical display, indicator LEDs for status, and so on, as long as the application is simple enough (and non-changing). I try to go that way whenever possible. Do use modern high-intensity LEDs though to make the display sunlight-readable. Automatic intensity adjustment with ambient light sensor recommended.

gnuarm:
I like ePaper.  Most or at least *many* displays do not require frequent updating.  My house thermostat updates maybe every five seconds.  Easy peasy for ePaper.  They are still a bit pricey if they aren't tiny though.  So not for the low end.  But their clarity and contrast simply can't be beat... in any lighting.

Best, IPS monitors.

I was going to add exactly the same point. My original Oled display is somewhat dimmer than when new. I understand being 'organic' means the molecules fall apart in UV daylight.

I would rate e-ink/paper if it didn't do that annoying inverse-blink thing on rewrite.

@cyberdragon Yes, Nimo Tubes! Saw them first on Fran [Blanche] Lab. @eevblog Dave, you have to get one of these, they are so 1964.

OLED seems to be highly variable. I have had some small (cheap) displays deteriorate very quickly while others have lasted a long time and still look nice. My friend got an OLED TV about 3 years ago and it's still going strong but that's only one data point. My brother bought one more recently so that will eventually be another. They look amazing, and I suppose a TV is a bit different than something like a piece of test gear. The display in a TV is for all practical purposes the entire TV, it's not like an expensive piece of test gear where the display is only a small component of the overall unit.
