Re: Inexpensive Display Technology

Speaking for myself.  I am not interested in a display made for NTSC no matter 
what the price.  I just can't get charged up about 40 columns of fuzzy text.  
For $800.00?  Such a display wouldn't interest me at $8.00.

My work is programming.  My standard console is 80 columns and 43 lines.  For a
HMD, I would like to see the maximum amount of clear, sharp text.  80 columns
is essential.  I would gladly sacrifice all graphics support if the HMD does
text well and the cost is not prohibitive.

Smaller is better, but the P5 still sounds like the best deal for me.  I'm
sorry that it has a different form factor than the P4.  Is it true that the P5
partially blocks the vision of the other eye?  What was the reasoning behind
that design change?  Has anybody had their hands (eyes?) on one?  Is there a 
picture on the Web of one in use?

Regards,
Arne W Flones
