Hi, This is not typical Italian entertainment. I have em at home ( NL ) like this. Never even had anything else. I like its multi primary colour system, as long as you do a good manual colour separation to prevent colour bleeding. I also like its display form factor. In stead of a boring orthogonal display, it is round. Image build up is polar, and has a refresh rate up to 1500 rpm !! And the programmes.. man... this is really what makes the world go round. ~giggle~ Perry opendtv-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote on 20-12-2006 13:48:24: > They still have front-loading washing machines with the glass window in the > door in Italy.
