So if this lossless video over ethernet thing ever trickles down to consumers, what happens? Can my computer monitor become just another network device plugged into Ethernet like my printer already is? In my living room, can I ditch the video routing part of my AV receiver and just plug everything (streaming devices, video games, cable box) into a very fast ethernet switch?

That would be an enormous waste of bandwidth, considering that a fullHD stream (30fps @ 24bpp) would consume 1.4 gigabit/s.

Quickest Ethernet is up to 400 gbps now, you can probably get by with a pedestrian 10gbit switch :) Hard to see uncompressed consumer video catching on though since compression works so well.
