For those 'tekkies' on this list, the following article is interesting.

This sounds like a sales gimmick to me...similar to adding the letters
HD to the word antenna so you have to pay an extra 20 bucks. As anyone
who took a high school physics class may recall, every color of the
spectrum can be produced by the RGB frequencies, assuming they are
true. So I don't buy that this technology adds more gamut, or
"millions more colors" as this article claims. To me this solves the
maximum power consumption rules soon to be adopted by California, but
doing so by lowering the quality/amount of light needed to produce the
same image as a traditional display...robbing Peter to pay Paul...then
adding 15% to the cost of the set just to say you are an energy
conservationist.
