I have the same question here at the Astronomy Department at UC
Berkeley; my experience (brief as it is) with the 5081 is that it
is just a (very large) PGA, since the PGA also has a palette of
256 out of 4096 colors and just 16 gray levers. For the image processing
we do, we REALLY need 64 gray levels. Any suggestions for possible
displays?
