A blasphemy....I know....


Recently I had occassion to go to an audio/video store, which is usually painful for me--but I went to help a friend purchase a new TV.
I saw the new RGBY, note the added Y in that statement.
Sharp has a new unit, (others I'm sure to come) that has Red, Blue, Green, AND YELLOW!
The difference at first, until my eyes adjusted to the store and the 'millions' of other TV's seemed notable, but not revolutionary.
WRONG! After about 15 minutes of comparing others TVs as my buddy wasn't going to jump and pay more--I focused, (no pun) on the RGBY. WTF!!!!
Man this set is really something. Colors such as rich browns, and coral colors, and even the infield grass at the Ky Oaks was brilliantly better.
Anyone else seen this???

Back to my first love now, AUDIO and WOMEN...
(Not usually in that order)lololol

Well, someone said 'total marketing bull*hit', that may be true of many things retail, but the 'color shading difference' sans marketing on this unit, calls for it to produce 256 colors plus one more factor of 256 making the total of shades, not in the millions, but into the >1Trillion color shades.
I, without knowing somehow fealt that the colors were more approximation and not the full range of color that is shown by sunlight or a halogen, and that is apparently true, if we're to believe that the shades of color reproduction have increased by such an order of magnitude.
I only know that there WERE more colors, and that sublte 'combinations' of others were rendered with more subtle shadings. My eyes, like my ears didn't lie to me.

Everyone will think I'm crazy if they see the RGBY under the conditions I saw it at Best Buys. Usually they do a decent job, (OK at the Louisville, KY store).
But I took a friend in, and the sets were set up poorly, with color adjustments varying wildly.
At HH Gregg, the sets were all perfectly adjusted, moreover they were set 'the same' as one another, making heads up comparison easy.

FWIW.
