I'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.
