See through it? Nah, but wish it wasn’t there? All the time. Always hated how TVs ruin a room. However, I don’t think this really solves the problem, for all the reasons others in this thread mention.
- shiroiushi 2y agoIf they could build them into the wall, this should mostly eliminate the issue I think. Then you could show an image of whatever you want on them when you're not watching anything: a view of the outside, an image that just looks like the rest of the wall, etc.
- diggernet 2y agoAll of those can be done today, because none of them benefit from the TV being transparent.
- shiroiushi 2y agoWell yeah, I wasn't talking about transparent TVs here, just the complaint that contemporary TVs ruin the look of a room. For transparent TVs, I don't see how those are useful at all, except as a novelty or for retail advertising or the like. If they could be transparent when turned off, and then when powered on show an image that looks as good as a normal TV, then I could see the appeal, but (AFAICT) that's not how they work.
