Such a numerically high sampling becomes statistically relevant. Given that each individual's view is still going to be a highly individual experience, these opinions offer valuable information on how well a design caters for the normal distribution and usage, and the categories of users (for example some  eyeglass wearers that reside within, or not, of it)   :t:Reading this seemingly glowing Allbino's review, and comparing it to my own experience (mechanical quality was ok, the view was very ordinary), raises lots of questions for me ..... If there was a HT and a HD sitting on a table, I may pick the HD up just once to compare to my previous experience, but unless anything dramatically changed with the view I'd pick up the HT every single time after that - and the difference to my eyes is chalk and cheese - it's not a close run thing to me at all! That's my opinion, and if others have different opinions, or the consensus is different, or even if I'm a total lone voice in the wilderness, then all well and good! I'm not for one second trying to tell others what they see, or what their opinions should be, or affect their right to express that  ..... No dramas whatsoever - it's just my own opinion - no more, no less.  All good   :t:   o<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Chosun   :gh:</blockquote>
