I am not sure what your point is Cliff. TVs and everything else are designed to be marketed. That involves convincing people that they need to by something new. That need for new along with trying to capture critical mass among those who would be early adopters and hobbyists drives market growth, and thus, product design decisions. What the bottom half of the curve in terms of technical understanding knows or wants is not why things get built. What will move more boxes, i.e. what the vast majority can be convinced they need and want drives what gets built. That often starts with capturing the imagination and wallet of the upper half. Trickle down electronics, really. It is curious to watch these discussions among highly educated and highly technical people on this list. While there is great insight and vision at times, the discussion often reveals a complete lack of understanding of the consumer of what those on this list produce.
