Personally I would preper a black back side – donโt see much use for a see-through-screen.MM

FOUNDER MemberI see this as junk tech.
100% certain of that with a Theatre below it.
I am also 100% certain that a (Beosound) Theatre only on a motorised floor stand (with no display at all) is about as stupid a look as you could get from Bang & Olufsen. (mounting a BS Edge, or Level on a motorised BS Theatre floor stand could be stupid-er but lets park these bad ideas to one side (indefinately)
The idea is more useful if a) it could be incorporated into a window – so no new space used at all and b) the backside was automatically blacked-out (to passers-by/neighbours when watching TV. The Theatre plays no part in my opinion in this sort of “entertainment” delivery.
The Theatre is kinda a chunky-monkey of a soundbar and the boat design tries to hide its volume somewhat (helped by a normal panel) . However, it is very much a prominent piece of premium furniture for the home begging to be displayed. Why, then you would try to make display part “semi-invisible” is unknown to me – especially when you could have all kinds of automated “reveals of a proper display at a fraction of the cost.
Edit: I think if they had displayed this type of panel with a revised Harmony design, then that could have potential? The TV works as it works but when in standby or sound mode, the turned-in panels of the Speakers with a transparent screen would make the Harmony far more discreet in the home against a wall?

I agree on that – would be nice to seeโฆ..as a concept.

Location: Toronto, Canada10 October 2023 at 19:16 #49495BRONZE MemberA few designs in the late-middle to -end of LG’s design competition article show possible uses:
In the 1990s Timex sold an LCD travel alarm that had its silver reflective backing separated from the display, to be tipped down behind as an easel. ย It only really worked if there was a painted wall behind it when viewed from the bedside. ย (Of course I bought the silver version, even though it wasn’t actual aluminum; the logo was more discreet than later editions too!-)
22 October 2023 at 10:24 #49496BRONZE MemberIs that just a frosted glass with a short throw projector behind it?
And what is the point of that kind of screen?
