All display devices have a measured contrast ratio. That being the difference between the brightest white and the darkest black. The higher the ratio -- CRT's can display a ratio of 10,000:1 or higher, meaning the black portions of the screen are at least 10,000 times darker than the white portions -- the darker and richer the colors will be, including black. Most LCD monitors show a ratio of 1000:1, thus looking a bit washed out, and never achieving "true black." Plasma does a much better job, coming in at around 5,000:1. DLP started around 2,000:1, but some of the newer rear-projection DLP sets are claiming contrast ratios up to 10,000:1, almost equaling crt. Most importantly, though, you should always remember that there is no set standard in measuring contrast ratio, and therefore should remain weary of manufacturers claiming "ZOMG THE BEST CONTRAST RATIO EVER!" for their latest and greatest. All these technologies are certainly improving, but SED looks mighty attractive thus far and may soon render everything else obsolete -- until holographic displays, of course. G.

Dude, Jo...Asplode is right, man. I've been waiting on this FOREVER. Finally! A fixed pixel, flat panel display device that has equal contrast ratio to CRT (or better according to the article; "deepest blacks ever," Hooyahh!), no LCD "screen door" effect, and gives me no DLP color wheel migranes. SED is gonna rule my world...and my wallet -- but, oh well. G.

In other words: Troll away, folks. www.boingboing.net is FTW! ..If you didn't already know.

Oooooh so thats where we put the dead hooker. I was wondering where she went off to. And for thoes of you wondering. "No!" That hooker was dead when we bought her. Ahem... She must be in Usagi's or hykos' trunk, cause all I found was an unconsumed six-pack of coors light... ...dead when we bought her...LMAO

Ratava's too busy crusin' the autobahn, son. =P ...And THIRTEEN is the legal drinking age? Wish I had known this 11 years ago. I would have covinced my parents to defect... "Buuuut, Mooooom...Daaaaaad! Oktoberfest!" /shimmy

Alcohol induced amnesia, dude. Happens to the wor ..errr, best of us. =P G.

That's awesome, este. If I had siblings, I'd whip them senseless with newspapers too. "You know what's funny?! The funnies in your face!" /whap And Shiki, it's your fault Maisy eats people's faces now. You drove her to the brink of insanity, then let todd punt her off the edge...PUNT her, tom! He punted my cat into psychosis -- with your help! ...now I catch her purring in the moon light and licking her lips at the first scent of blood... ..It's man's flesh for which she hungers, tom. And I know where you live... Have a lovely day. ...and sorry for the hijack. G.

Lol! Don't worry, dude. My writing is, more often than not, convoluted to the point of confusion. Sometimes I don't even understand it (most of the time, actually). ...I think I was trying to poison everyone, though. Can't be too certain!

haha, he's her murlock slave. but do murlocks even have nipples? hmmmmmmmm... ..ponder that one for "two shakes of a lambs tail." Fifty bucks for anyone who guesses the movie quote. And you can't cheat! I'll be watching. O.O G.

Damn son, don't blame me. I'm not rubbing off on anyone...wait... Anyhow, shouldn't roadies get to replace band members who are fallen ill or deceased...IIIIIII think sooooooo. *prepares his vials of poisonous potions*

Oh, now son, you know I rather enjoyed it at the time. It had good stats, too: + 10 alcohol stamina + 20 soul caliber agility + 5 tickle defense - 50 intellect And after all, I'm not the one knawing on thornblade's nipple. Lol. G.

Some jackass forgot to sign in and...wait... doh! My stupidity revealed... G.

Just to be clear, that was not my pink construction hat. And in hindsite (given the proclaimed promiscuity of its owner) I'm pretty sure it's been used in certain "roleplaying" situations, and I don't mean WoW. Heh. Not a pleasant thought. Enjoy our humility. G.

I need access as well. Thanks!
