Do be truthful, I have always been a big fan of Eltroluminescent screen
technology. I wish more companies would take notice to them because practically
nothing has a better contrast ratio, they are already backlit (as in they don't
need it, the screen is like CRT anyway), and they take less power than a full
gas plasma (actually, they CAN take less power to run than a gas plasma). This
is portrayed in the recent look into cold cathode flat screens.
