J. Coren Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Haven't there been rollable screens since 2014? These have been around for a while and were more proof of concept for rolling and folding screens in the past, so perhaps this is a design made to be a product rather than a tech demo. I don't really see a practical purpose for this kind of technology as home TVs. For the price something like this will go for on release you could buy a 4K projector and then scale that image to fit your entire wall if need be.

This kind of thing is PERFECT for the Asian market where homes/apartments are much smaller than those in the West. This would be perfect for my flat!

GeraldEvans Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 And while you can get a 4k projector, laser projectors are still really pricey so you still need a relatively dark room. If they get this into the 100" range and below $3-4k this will have a pretty decent adoption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently was gifted a new projector for my living room that is maybe $600 at most, and it works both outside and in side just as well. You can't see shit on a cloudless evening when it's outside, but the same is true of most flat screens when they're out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryGen Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I see this going off big in the business offices, both for presentation and just info graphic purposes. I like how they are designing/creating so that it can be lowered and use only partial screen, lots of potential here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
