I doubt I can contribute much to this conversation from a technical point of
view.  I found the post I copied here very interesting - as well as the
follow-up here.  I do have some questions re bandwidth and the current DVI
connection.  Is DVI bandwidth an issue?  I'm sure it would be nice to have a
complete 16bit pipe but is the connection a constraint?  Same issue with
higher bit depth colour and HDTV?  I'm aware of the new UDI interface being
worked on but details seem sketchy....
