[Cube] FireWire 400/800 Cable ... and Millions of Colours question

[David Iverson]

Contact Apple; I suspect they continue to use a display that dithers  
its way to millions.  You previously indicated that you are in  
graphics, and as such, you may need to consider the larger version -   
If Apple made any changes in the latest version, it would be in their  
headline advertising the 20" version (all new 8-bit technology  
rendering TRUE millions of colors)!.

Fortune (http://tinyurl.com/afmkye) talks about a  lawsuit brought by  
photographers.  How you arrive at millions is important, but computers  
are designed to present various "things" mostly available in the  
"real" world and we love to have the best rendition of the real world  
on our 17", 20", 24" or 30" displays.  In the case of the smaller  
units, either to produce a cost/price break point or because of  
physical limitations, they either choose or are forced to accept some  
electronic trickery to make it to a million.  I guess I am less  
disturbed by it than you are, but I am not in graphics.
