Following up on my earlier post, I ran "Ultravision" by my favorite
meta-search engine, and found that a lot of companies are now using the
name -- everything from contact lens mfr.s to ISPs. But I did find the
link below. It would be worth finding out if this product / Co. are
still around, and if this is the latest version available.

Michael Norman mentioned that he had tried UV on a laptop, but it was
not entirely clear if he was referring to this (apparent)
laptop-specific version. Perhaps something was changed to address the
improving standards in laptop graphics displays ?
