> Crowfounding would be a nice idea but I imagine that the technology for good screens is only in the hands of, precisely, the ones that are trying to make TV a platform. I wonder how hard it is to acquire TV panels. They're made by mostly the same manufacturers as panels for laptops and tablets etc., however they don't have the same sort of foothold in these markets as they do in the TV market (take LG for example). TVs benefit greatly from enormous economies of scale. Costs would certainly pose an issue for a crowdfunded project.
