One problem I see with this:

I'm willing to bet that this clock would look like crap on anything other than a plain white wall.

Those number segments would have to be pretty transparent to look decent on a colored wall.

pick me! pick me!

I currently have a 1 in 13,000 chance of winning.


I hope I do win!

I love shooting videos in HD.

I hope I win!

I look forward to reading my favorite gadget blogs on the phone's big screen.

This would be great to replace my aging MDA.

I hope I win.

Quick clarificiation, the Westy has 6 bits per color channel as opposed to 8 bits per color channel. There are three color channels: red, green, and blue. So the westy has a total of 18bit color depth (slightly greater than that of the SNES). Most monitors have 8 bits per color channel, resulting in a total of 24bit color depth (like the PSone).

Also note that in your Windows display settings, the 32-bit Highest color quality actually refers to 24-bit color (8 bits per color channel) with an additional 8 bits representing an alpha or transparency channel.

You can tell that the monitor is only 6 bit vs. 8 bit because the its specifications say it only supports 16.2 million colors.

"If the manufacturer lists the color as 16.7 million colors, it should be assumed that the display is 8-bit per-color. If the colors are listed as being 16.2 million or 16 million, consumers should assume that it uses a 6-bit per-color depth."

please see http://compreviews.about.com/od/multimedia/a/LCDColor.htm

A monitor that has 8 bits per color channel will be able to display 16.7 million colors.

2^8 x 2^8 x 2^8 = 256 x 256 x 256 = 16,777,216

Consumers should also note that this LCD only has 6-bit color as opposed to the standard 8-bit.

It apparently uses a dithering technique, using nearby pixels, to reduce the effect of only having 6-bit color.
