RE: Inexpensive Display Technology

Arne,

The M1 display is a pure VGA display.  There is an NTSC to VGA converter 
built into the drive circuitry.  All signals that go to the display are 
QVGA and not NTSC.

Also, the complete system weighs 4 oz. and blocks only ~20 degrees of your 
complete field of view. Check out the pix on the web page.

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
