I'm not sure if you're referring to me, but my intention is not to be hostile towards that other technology. My only point is that there is a lot of hype surrounding it. Many people are making claims about things it can do which are not backed up by what the manufacturer actually says.

When I disagree with people saying it has higher contrast, lower power consumption, and there are actual products coming out, it's merely because I don't believe those statements are true. I don't mean any hostility towards the technology.

If I am going to compare the technologies, I would prefer to do so based on facts, not hype.
