Darren, you would love this stuff!

Not only is it as fast as TV, but get it under a loupe and it _looks_ just
like TV, too!  I'm not sure exactly sure how the process works, but the end
result is a slide with a fine matrix of horizontal lines all across your
image - the dyes or whatever are arranged in thin horizontal strips.
Additionally, the colors are a bit muted, and the overall
brightness/contrast of the image is poor - even white highlights are a bit
grey.
