I’d be really excited to try something like this, just to see how it looks and feels! I wonder what cleaning the translucent lcd is like 🤔 I can’t really rely on a monitor like this for work (or things like blue light glasses) since I have to be color accurate to common screens, but I guess if this screen got really common?? Then… I still wouldn’t be able to replicate “common” conditions since it’s dependent on ambient light 😅

Actually, your eyes adjust white balance to ambient light so this may in fact help color perception in some way.

The problem is that most (>5/6) of light a color LCD receives is lost even if it shows white, see my other comment.
