Radeonic would love this funny today

[K.I.L.E.R]

We were in image processing class.
The lecturer showed us an image of a uint8 image converted to a double image.

0 -> 255
into
0 - 1

The image bits were divided by 128 in the image which followed.
This showed a very whitish washed out image.
So I made a comment "That looks like an LCD screen" and my friend was a bit pissed at it.

and here I thought you were gonna say it looks like a crt (the washed out part)
Too bad it didn't end up having the screen door effect.
So why did your friend get pissed?

No idea why he was pissed but he told me "LCDs look good".
It was a funny scene.

I find it funny because you're a total lcder.

SED displays will hopefully save me from ever having to get an LCD. They are a kind of flat screen CRTs where each pixel has 3 microscopic electron canons of it's own(based on tunneling of electrons over a tiny gap and accelerating some of them over some ~10kV to the phosphors). They are also claimed(by canon, toshiba and others with a vested interest) to have higher power-effeciency than LCDs and plasmas. Linearity should be as awesome as an LCDs as no deflection is needed. Hopefully they'll take off so that they can become cheap enough for me to afford one.

That tech sounds absurdly-expensive.

you get what you pay for
