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.

Tell that to the people at the bottom end of the curve who buy them.
