In fact, you haven't corrected anything, just made a statement without any support. Which equals bullshit in any common sense interpretation. Actually, you were the one corrected for the wrong use of the "persistent" word. A wrong you don't seem to accept or even understand.

Let me tell you the actual data, as the person above stated, the resolution is equal, ie 640x480. Raw. Which kinda leads me to another serious thing: Why would NP post a RAW resolution on their site for TIR5 specs? The answer to that is the well known white-painted marketing: make public a true, but not useful, characteristic. Why would someone be interested in TIR5's RAW resolution? I am interested in TIR output/computed resolution, which might even be 32x24 if you ask me, as long as NP doesn't make any statement regarding this.

So, M$'s Kinectic is using a 320x240 out resolution.. What output resolution is using TIR5? None on NP's site, so, allow me, until NP will make that public, to consider Kinectic's resolution bigger.

Yes, I have considered them. They were embedded into the hardware (manufacture) price of 10-15 euros. Retail outlets ask for a bigger % from the selling cost than online sellers, yet most of the NP's sells are made via the online stores, so that can be safely ignored.

That is not me making a false connection, but you eating bullexcrements.

I was talking about a fair price, and you said why not complain about videocards, then you turned it into a monopoly complain, which was actually not. that monopoly complain was above.

And just for you to learn, there's no duopoly (which actually is a special case of oligopoly) on the videocard market, you're confusing the production of videocard chipsets with videocards manufacturers. And basic economic knowledge would have told you that an oligopoly is not necessary a bad thing, as long as the players are not following an agreed (price) policy and a correct market competition exists between them.

those are classic examples of hardware deprecated. There is a BIG difference bewteen the way an AGp vs PCIx hardware are working. Can you tell me why TIR3 hardware is considered deprecated, and sodiferent thant the hardware from TRI4 or 5 to not be supported anymore?

It's obvious you have no common sense and are not a reasonable person to talk with. Even more, your fanaticism is suspect of direct NP influence.

I have nothing more to say or talk to you anymore, please feel free to consider this discussion with you ended and yourself ignored.
