It's only when you get them home and watch a variety of material the flaws show up. It's the same at a party. With girls I mean. Bill |

It also means that the edges are the same distance from your eyes as the centre so (a) the edges will be in the same focus and you will be more aware of peripheral activity and (b) if you look to the side of the screen you don't refocus so it is much less tiring to watch. I think that beyond about 20 foot your eyes don't change focus much, if at all. Bill |

Yes, remember the 'O' stands for organic ! The "O" being molecules like tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminium which is technically an "organic" molecule. So "organic" doesn't imply a shelf-life like the veggies in your refrigerator, but with new technology the life-time of the product has to be estimated from accelerated aging tests rather than real life. |
