(nb- video decode uses quite a few transistors - even though you save on backlight - you likely pay a price doing transitions for the screen and you are still paying the decode, cpu, ram etc. price while it plays - so u'll probably end up getting no different playback times as u would with an lcd - if the cost of transitions is the same as a backlight. if the transition/update cost is lower if almost 0, then u may get 2x - maybe 3x the playback compared to lcd... now AMOLED may be on-par... :)) > GSB> but does not hurt to same some cpu/memory and thus battery if > GSB> possible. > > Yes, of course. :) > GSB> As for dithering, topic that got lost... have you thought about > GSB> it?
