Answer: HDTV - Sony is using quantum dots in their new models (Triluminos I think they call it). But they’ve switched to local dimming edge lighting with LED’s. Even so, the sets are still few grand for the starting models I think. But the light engine on my old SXRD project model is starting to get the same greenish tint it did before it died last time. Tick-tock. Ask: Have you listened to any home theater sound bars and what did you think? ---

Answer: Yes, and I didn’t really care that much for either. I understand Richard Dreyfuss was considered for the lead in the earlier one, and I’d have liked to have seen that. Ask: Kirk or Picard? ---
