It's the reason that I settled on a 34-inch HDTV from Sony for its *real* blacks. And the photo you refer to is very nice, even though Web photos are only a pale reflection of the original[s]. It'll take a while for lcd, various plasmas and rear projectors to catch up with crt's, but it will happen eventually. - ----------------------------------------------------------- les clark / edgewater, nj / usa ----------------------------------------------------------- --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list
