It's like, how much more black could it be? The answer is none. None more black.
I think the blacker black is going to be blacker than vivd black but perhaps a little less vivid. I kinda doubt it'll be blacker than the 2014 black though, since that one was pretty much pitch black (although Vin Diesel disagreed).

It might be blacker than night but I doubt it'll be blacker than 30 days of night - that would be pretty black. Of course they're all pretty black, but which one is actually the blackest?

I guess we'll find out in a month or maybe less.

Default Fxrt

I bought a new FXRT in 1990. Since then I've had a 1991 FLHS, a 1997 Gold Wing, and 2014 FLHTK. Wife still likes the FXRT the best of all.

let's say somebody who knew everything spilled all the beans right here right now. It would still be a rumor and you would have no idea if it's true. So sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

My post was about saving potential purchasing dollars via using ones brain. In that potential HD buyers, if they could look ahead, might save themselves some decent monies.
