entertainment center or Barco’s 56” Quad-HDTV. You could get two Toyota
Prius hybrids, one for your spouse and one for yourself. You could buy

megapixel resolution – four times what current 1080p TVs offer - on a
56” display, Sapphire will be the second company we know of that is

TV come at a hefty price, of course. |
