[LIST DELETED]

I was thinking the same thing. Dynamic-HiRes isn't even that new. I saw it
demoed in 1989 at the AmiExpo. By now, there should be enough known about it. 
A 768x480 picture with 4096 colors would look great. Does anyone know if it is
possible for these images to be displayed on a TV clearly? There are still some
problems though. The images take a while to load and be displayed. A friend of
mine once had his A500 hooked up to a TV and the Hi-Res mode was un viewable.
