[Tig] Wide Gamut displays...Toshiaries

[Bob Festa]

To Paraphrase The Beatles, "It was 20 years ago today",...

and we still dont have RGB Luminance softness that was as good as Dave Tosh's implementation, of Sam Holtz's ideas.

Dave, I wish you could see the crappy luminance qualification I do all day long. I'm still amazed to this day why we dont have tools that
were as sharp as the ones we used 20 years ago. eg: Prism, soft clips, six vector, and still store 5X5 output flexibilitiy like the ADDA.

I can already see the crippled 2k and 4k systems on the horizon that we will be apologizing for.

It's all digital, so it must be better, right?

To give credit where due, they should be calibrated in terms of Holtz units.
