There is actually a great need for demo material in stores, especially for the cheaper UHDTVs like Seiki.

The Samsungs have a "demo reel" built into them, and the Sonys are generally displayed with their own player.

I always thought that NTEK's best strategy on realizing that their box is a dog in the marketplace (which has been very obvious for several months) would be to announce that they're handing it over to their sign division and making demo units for rental to Best Buy. Not to sell NP-1s to consumers, because really, it's not a good device and virtually no one would buy it, but to help stores sell UHDTVs.

That's even an honest business, which I think NTEK insiders are at pains to avoid at all costs, but it's not a huge business. Not a public company with a market cap of tens of millions of dollars, certainly.

Announcing that they were turning NP-1s over to the sign division and cancelling pre-orders for them would have been a lot easier than slapping together a few dozen units out of MOJOs and handing them out to investors and continuing the ever more ludicrous pretense that there are tens of thousands of them all across America.
