Now, NTEK might not need a demo station of their own, and could pair up with Seiki easily for that, but people don't go into a store and then buy unseen anyway. They'd want to see the picture quality. Wouldn't you?
And that's what they would look at. Regular people don't give 2 didly squats what is sending that image. Nor do they know on the average.
The np is irrelevant to the bigger marketplace.
And not needed with TV's less than 2 years old. Pointless support for a non entity.
The np-1 is last year old, and rapidly being ellipse'd by even discount TV manufacturers putting their own chips in the sets. All this maneuvering in the pink stock tout world for something even ntek has announced the next model for. And we haven't seen the first model yet!
