I do not understand. If you mean what you think, contexts bring their own dressing.

No, no, no! From the prototype, you get the notion that it's doable; from those prototypes, you cannot in any way suppose that their resolutions is what it can currently be achieved. It's not a special pleading!

They declared that in January 2018 kits (and other stuff) would be available. It did not happen, I think, so I say, "maybe in Spring". It is immensely more founded than you becoming a millionaire in Spring.

Because it is used to evaluate "its performance" and potential for "mass-production", it would be counterproductive to create a prototype that was intentionally inferior ("cheaper") to the intended product that would be based on it.
Terms mean *nothing*. If you have to produce something to demonstrate feasibility, you produce what is cost effective, demonstrating what is needed. This is why I am stating that resolution is probably not a target of that item, hence you cannot relate "current TIR" and "hundredish dpi".

There is nothing to improve, you do not have any specification of the resolution. You may one day decide that you want to "improve the amount of colours", and pass from 4096 to n, but for now the resolution is ?. The whatever you saw in the video does not count.

And it's nothing, to determine what resolutions can be achieved. Well, you can state that maybe we can get hundredish. You just raised that probability. Affecting nothing else.

Your use of 'improvement' is futile if you focus on those dumb prototypes. Look, put it this way: they were not meant for you! They were meant for investors. Maybe you can just forget about them?

Which speculation?!?!?!?? I have not made a single statement, but that I am slightly concerned about the rainbows on the whites, and even that does not count in context!
