I've played with the options in the acrobat viewer, and the results
don't look like the results I remember (which were specifically tuned
for CRTs).  But I agree that there's probably a lot of algorithmic
overlap.

I disagree in part.  The cost differential is still so significant, and
the functionality differential still so significant in some markets,
that CRTs are going to be with us for quite a while longer.  I think we
have to pursue both tracks, at least until OLEDs or one of the other
potential successors to LCDs gain some traction in the mass market.
