With a light sensor you could adjust the colour of an LCD display so it exactly simulates the light reflected by paper. I don't understand why nobody did it before. Now you can't patent it though because this comment serves as prior art :)
- mholm 6y agoThe Samsung Frame TV does this already, to some success.
- skavi 6y agoThe comment is sarcastic I think. This has been done by many companies.
- gh02t 6y agoI've also noticed this on my Google Home/Nest Hub, where it has an effect where it adjusts the image on screen to match the color temperature of the ambient light. It makes for a really weird (albeit pleasant) effect that to my eye makes the image look more like a printed/reflective image. I've long wondered if you could duplicate that effect by replacing the backlighting in a junk LCD with something that can adjust color temperature and adding a color sensor, but haven't had time to try it.
- drone 6y agoYes, these sorts of things are common in photography workflows. There are color profilers [ex: 0] that update your monitor's profile in real time to maintain a consistent profile given ambient light changes. They're usually used as part of a larger calibration workflow, for example: calibrating your monitor and printer so that what you print with a specific ink/paper combination looks exactly like what you see on the screen. (Or, as much as is technically possible to do so.) [0] - https://www.xrite.com/categories/calibration-profiling/i1display-pro https://www.xrite.com/categories/calibration-profiling/i1dis...
