I’ve always wanted a live view of the sky projected on my ceiling.
how about covering your car with it? then you could dial up whatever exterior you wanted?
Does this mean video gamers will get the whole wall, rather than a regular flat-screen TV?
Well it doesn’t apply to me anyway, I use a small one and sit pretty close. Kicking butt and talking trash is a priority.
Be careful what you wish for, kids love crayons......LOL!
UV and IR bands available. So, it could double as a tanning bed and a space heater.
Bflr
Lots of different applications for this stuff.
Consider Christmas cards with video. They already have the musical and record/playback cards, a really inexpensive electronic paper could be used to great effect.
Likewise, a large screen could be rolled into a tubular shape of whatever size, and simply unrolled for viewing, much like the old movie projector screen.
Wireless internet and other applications could be included in the device allowing for a number of different display options, or simply a wireless and digital ports option allowing hookup to devices.
"Surround TV" is also possible. Imagine your livingroom as the infield at Daytona, or the line of scrimmage at the Superbowl?!
I bought a 32’ Vizio on 12/2. My failed.
I spent some time getting everything hooked up and it all worked. I gradually tweaked the custom settings till it suited. I switched HDMI inputs to the computer and there was the cable box. It was there on all three HDMI inputs.
To make a long story short, I chatted with Vizio on line, did a reset and all was ok.Except, that night it was all HDMI again. I chatted again a week later and learned there was a firmware glitch causing the problem. If you turned off the speakers, the HDMI ports became corrupted and there was a signal from HDMI port 1 distributed to all three.
Vizio is making a firmware change and will put it on the web. The change will be downloaded to a thumb drive and input through the TV USB port.
Strange and for an old guy like me......... complex
The TV is very good once tweaked and the ability to switch inputs to my dedicated computer with a hard drive full of programming is great.
When I was a kid TV’s you could hang on a wall were science fiction fantasy. Now I have a 50” plasma about three inches thick.
I can only imagine how cool these TV’s will be.
Careful, that ash just about hit your foot.
Just put me on a sit-n-spin and play: “you spin me right round”... lol
Put yourself in a 1986 timeframe and ask if it would be possible to carry a high end camera, videocamera, telephone, computer, data storage device, etc., around in your back pocket in 25 years.
Couldn't resist. Glad you took it well. Some people get all fussed up.
