The crystal LCD tele from Sony looks promising though.

Thanks for mentioning this as I had not heard of "crystal LCD"
before.

But a web search reveals that Dell have had a crystal LCD
monitor on sale
since early 2008.

Miniature inorganic LEDs, 3 for each pixel.

But which technology offers the best quality at an affordable
price for
the home consumer for ultra-HD, crystal LCD or laser?

To a certain extent it all depends on which one catches on.
Look at Betamax and VHS, I always felt that Betamax was better
quality and also more compact but VHS won out in the end.

Betamax was certainly better than VHS - indeed a version of it is
still widely used in the broadcast industry. What is more V2000
was even better than either, but the problem of both Beta and V2K
was price and availability. It wasn't helped by the TV rental
shops plugging them and then failing to provide any support
especially if they developed a fault. Net result they both died
and VHS won the day. Sad, but that's life.
