- NegativeK 3y agoSince they're attention grabbing, I fully expect to see them in casinos.

- darkwater 3y agoIf they can make them small enough and cheap enough, they could be used in simple AR glasses maybe.
- chrisBob 3y agoSort of. The problem is that I can't focus on something 2 inches from my eye, so there would need to be a lot of other optics involves.

- barnabee 3y agoI'd much prefer a TV that was transparent when switched off over the giant black rectangle of doom in my living room. I find myself switching it on to have the Apple TV screensaver instead, just because it's so imposing otherwise.
- xnx 3y agoThe black rectangle problem isn't talked about enough. Screensavers are something, but have their own problems. I'm surprised there aren't more mechanical solutions (e.g. roll-down shade).
- dylan604 3y agoSo instead of a black rectangle, you just have a shade of whatever material in the same shape as the black rectangle? How is that an improvement. I like the use of the screensaver as it is something closer to having art on the walls, only it is updating. Even if you had a large piece of art under the screen so it was visible when the TV was off would still be better than some roll-down shade.
- xnx 3y ago> How is that an improvement. True trading a black rectangle for a beige rectangle wouldn't be much of an improvement, but a piece of artwork would be. Screensavers are nice, but emissive displays always stand out against other, reflective, decor.
