Well, I saw one of these LED backlit TV sets from Sammy in a store last

Panasonic offerings in immediate proximity to the Sammy, it was my
opinion
that the rendition of skin tones, which we previously agreed was a good
test
of a colour display's performance, was actually nothing like as good.
Both
the Pan and the Sony had a near identical 'tone' to the skin of a
newsreader's face. On the Sammy, that same face was rather pink and
florid
looking. I also did not think that the black level was any better than
on
the other two sets, which is a point that they are making a lot of,
claiming
that it substantially increases the contrast ratio.

I don't know what 'set-ups' this TV has, in terms of brightness,
contrast,
colour saturation, tint/hue, but in my experience, most LCD TVs - which
is,
after all, what this is - are set correctly 'out of the box', but I
accept



P'raps it needs degausing - or the convergence tweaking!

Ahh - my old Dynatron with 27 pots on a hinged panel to play with.


thats one thing I DON'T miss. I thanked god for inline guns.

One day we will be like the aliens in the classic Cadburys Smash adverts -
"So you fired electrons at phosphor dots and steered them with coils of
copper wire!!!"

But at least I could understand how it worked (a bit)

If they ever resolve the legal battles over SED technology, we'll be firing
electrons at phosphors again (although not steering them with copper) and at
last, we will be able to return to pictures as good as CRTs produced ...

The Holy Quran



Please forgive us for any disturbance, but we have an important
subject to address to you regarding FAITH, and we Don’t intend to
overload your email with unnecessary messages…

Quran Means "Recitation"

The word "Quran" means "that which is recited; or that which is
dictated in memory form." As such, it is not a book, nor is it
something that reaches us only in written form.

The documentation in writting about the Quran has been preserved in
museums thoughout the world, including the Topekopi Palace in
Istanbul, Turkey, the museum in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and also in
England. Keep in mind also, the Quran is only considered "Quran" while
it is in the recitation form, not in the written or the book form. The
word for what is written and held in the hand to be read by the eye is
called "mus-haf" (meaning script or that which is written down).

Only One Version - Arabic

There are no different versions of the Quran in the Arabic language,
only different translations and of course, none of these would be
considered to hold the value and authenticity of the original Arabic
Recitation. The Quran is divided up into 30 equal parts, called
"Juz’" (parts) in the Arabic language. These are learned by Muslims
from their very early beginnings as children.

ÇáúÚóÒöíÒõ ÇáúÍóßöíãõ (24)

21. If WE had sent down this Qur’an on a mountain, thou wouldst,
certainly, have seen it humbled and rent asunder for fear of ALLAH .
And these are similitudes that WE set forth for mankind that they may
reflect.
22. HE is ALLAH and there is no god beside HIM, the Knower of the
unseen and the seen. HE is the Gracious, the Merciful.
23. HE is ALLAH and there is no god beside HIM, the Sovereign, the
Holy One, the Source of peace, the Bestower of security, the
Protector, the Mighty, the Subduer, the Exalted. Holy is ALLAH, far
above that which they associate with HIM.
24. HE is ALLAH, the creator, the Maker, the Fashioner. HIS are the
most beautiful names. All that is in the heavens and the earth
glorifies HIM, and HE is the Mighty, the Wise.

(Alhashr 21-24)

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember abo mahab
saying something like:

You intrusive *******.
**** off.
Honestly, do you really think, in what passes for that easily-led brain
of yours, that continual spamming is going to win converts?

Ayup. When I was a kid, our first colour set was a 27" Baird, which had
a huge, hinged PCB with a kazillion pots on it, & an acetate overlay
covering the whole thing, with diagrams printed on it to show what each
pot adjusted. *Lots* of fun!
