I third the motion. Give me 256 out of 16M colors in 768x480 and I can 
duplicate the $60,000 Laserline 5, the one that does the most expensive
weather graphics.  More cheaply, give me just 32 out of 4096 hi-res overscan 
768x480 and I can get you FULL WSI graphics as good as on the Laserline 5.

Yep, the "Desktop Video" market would not exist today if it weren't for that.
