minus-squareMegaUltraChicken@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoOh Sony is all over it, here’s one of the diagrams of their patent.
minus-squarehydroptic@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-25 months agoBut they haven’t released a TV with that feature yet though, and if I remember right that patent’s fairly old – something like 10–15 years. Wonder what’s kept them from actually doing it. Maybe even Sony suits understood it’d be a fucking disaster from a marketing perspective? Edit: the patent was filed in 2009
minus-squareMegaUltraChicken@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoHonestly I think it’s just a shit idea. Only way I could see it flying is if you heavily (or completely) subsidized the cost of the television. There’s already a company giving away free ad supported TVs. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjxj_HNhtqGAxUcIjQIHX7BCiYQFnoECBEQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.telly.com%2F&usg=AOvVaw0alFgFQTc-6Uz1bt-Q55d1&opi=89978449
