"And like I said, recreating an ancient supercomputer is one thing, processing video is another.
The Wide5 uses an FPGA to do its video processing (So you have less strain on the computer), and that one costs thousands of dollars. Unless you made an ASIC that functioned the same way, every single Wide5 needs one of those FPGAs, and nice ones like that are $,$$$ at a minimum."
I was probably being over entusiastic. Really, my point was that once the high res, super high cost displays are down to $3000, the fpga will likely be only another $2000.
When I mentioned the old supercomputers, I wasn't talking about the processing power, just the sheer complexity.
"To be honest, there is no reason for anyone to ever buy another Wide5."
