I currently have a bet (from 2010) on about the availability of such a display. I confess I'd hoped it would be here by the end of 2015, but with only four months to go, that's looking unlikely, unless Amazon have something in the works with LiquaVista. But I don't lose money on the bet unless nothing ships before 2024, so I'm still fairly confident.
