A colleague of mine pointed out that a key part of making something like this look good is controlling the brightness of the display to track the ambient light level. This problem is also faced by digital photo frames... and most of them are awful at it. The recent (?) Google frame, though, gets it uncannily correct and it is amazing how much this helps the illusion of being a "real object" and not just a screen hanging on the wall.

Eventual color E-Ink or other display technologies may make this an easier problem, though it theoretically just needs a mapped contrast/brightness curve and responsive sensors and backlight.
