The thing is that the nature of the beasts means that small-scale
production isn't really possible.

I don't like the picture quality of LCDs in some ways -- I preferred
CRTs and used them as long as I could -- but I confess it's lovely to
have 2 x 23" + screens on my home computer (and bigger at work)
without them weighing as much as a hefty child and taking 75% of the
desk. They don't take much power, or make much heat, or cost much,
either.

So I tolerate the crappy over-saturated colours with solarisation,
banding and posterisation. Price of progress. :-(
