Apologies if this is a dumb question...
With any tv, while it's turned off you have a black rectangle on your wall. Right now we have a 47" in a large family room so it doesn't seem that big. When we move up to 80+" within the next year or so, it will be a huge black rectangle on the wall. I've seen doors, pictures and other ways to cover up smaller ones but for big tvs that doesn't work out so well.
My question is have any manufacturers even thought about this sort of thing, like maybe coming up with a way for it to just display a picture while turned off like a Kindle does? If an additional layer in front of the screen or backlighting would be required I guess I may have answered my own question...
I'm pumped up about redoing our entertainment center/server closet/tv area but not as excited about the big black monolith that will be on the wall and wish there was a way around it.
