re: # of colours.
I've noticed that Plasma screens are increasingly being promoted on the number of colours available in their gamut. Having billions to choose from over the millions available to LCDs certainly sounds like a trump, but it's ultimately irrelevant - the eye can 'only' percieve somewhere in the region of 7 - 17 million colours.
I say up to 17 million as I remember that being the upper limit touted by computer literature from back in the late Amiga days when Deluxe Paint IV came out, which offered a selection of 16.7 million colours (4096 on screen.. wow). That too was probably just marketing aggrandizing, though.
Looking across the internet now, all i can see are upper limits of 6 - 7 million.
