The only thing that I saw that was questionable in your comparison was the
resolution of the DCTV, and its color output.
 
It stores its extra information in what would look like a 4bit high-res
(640x400+) image.  Since its images cover the whole screen, and you're
supposed to be able to animate with its images in DPaint, this would suggest a
screen resolution of 704 x 480 pixels.
 
It displays 22bits of information (4.2M) out of a 24bit pallette.  But since
you have a maximum of about 338,000 possible colors if every single pixel was
different from every other, there's no difference in quality.
 
I called Digital yesterday, and they said shipment to distributors the first
week of December.
