> look like absolute garbage and are uselessly low resolution.

I wish you'd chosen a different tone

Plenty of things are low resolution, flawed, impractical and lacking in fidelity and still look gorgeous. In fact - people are drawn towards things that have these kind of qualities. Some of it is nostalgia, some of it is that the flaws add a quality and richness of their own. People spend a lot of time and money trying to recreate older technologies because of these aspects. The examples are too numerous to list.

I wouldn't have quibbled if you'd chosen words that didn't come across as sneering. I think there's a core validity to what you're saying but it's just the way you said it.






Sorry, but I will continue to disagree. For a $6500 device the quality, resolution, and spatial continuity is utterly unacceptable. As a DIY project or a product that is price aligned with other LED POV products with similar BoM costs I would be more willing to agree with you.
