[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 244606, member: 1969"] Apparently eyes good enough to see a difference, or it might all just be a sham. I remember 20 years ago, being the budding tech-nerd I fancy myself today, talking with others on old online BBS systems (before the Internet), when monitors and graphics cards started reaching EGA 16 color...not 16 bit, but literally, 16 color spectrum. We professed in challenge, "...who the HECK would need more?" Then VGA came out, and gave us 256. We said, "Oh. I guess [u]we[/u] need more." It all went from there, and now look us, probably staring at screens at this very moment that produce millions upon millions of "colors" all based on nearly-true spectrum, measured in resolution, not just simple colors any longer. The separation has become almost microscopic and mere mathematics (none of which I claim to know :lol:) Coming to a pipe near you: 1080i HD and 3D tobaccos? :bounce: 8) [/QUOTE]
