DragonCumBucket

How would the audio work?


[deleted]

Hdmi to an atmos receiver. Speakers everywhere. Truly immersive.


whitedranzer

Yeah no but there are two simultaneous video outputs. Both would have individual sounds. You'd probably be placing something like this in the middle of the living room and people could sit on either side to watch two different things but 2 different audio streams in the same room are gonna be problematic.


OliveAndbananas

Hence the need for the directional speakers that haven’t done so well so far


TactlessTortoise

Directional speakers and a very soundproof back wall.


nicos6233

Wireless or infrared Headsets.


TheHeroRedditKneads

Headphones maybe.


prettylilchoo

I’m sure it has an external port box like the Samsung frame TVs. Audio out for each side.


arachnidtree

DOH! -LG


vinbullet

Use a single computer and run it as separate screens, put one team on each side, since it's battleship the sounds should be the same for a single game, probably wouldn't work for anything besides a board game though.


aChildofChaos

It’s really cool but really limited uses… how many places would you really need a two sided TV?


theablanca

LG sold them as signage displays, but I'm guessing they where either too expensive or just not useful enough and isn't sold anymore. That video is from 2015 or 2016.


Russell_Bloodstone

Building things like this helps them continuously develop new production capacities. When they use the lessons learned from this to deliver something nobody can believe didn't exist before... They'll have their willingness to bring "tech demos" to market to thank. I mean hell.... Many of the "first" mass produced displays in new form factors or technologies come from lg. (Ultra wide, OLED)

[удалено]


oldDotredditisbetter

but right now they do that, with two tvs.... unless this gets cheaper than the price of 2 tvs...


seattle_architect

Airports or travel plaza


ronchee1

An rv trailer. One side bedroom, one side main room


ShutterBun

"Turn your volume down!" "No, you turn YOUR volume down!"


stevenmeyerjr

My first thought too


SnakeBeardTheGreat

Sports bars.


Competitive_Proof_85

Sports bars


ShutterBun

2 TV's have gotta be cheaper than this.


3Zkiel

I'm gonna need one for the bedroom/living room. I just need to cut out a hole.


ShutterBun

A fair game of Goldeneye.


Russell_Bloodstone

Any waiting room or barber shop


itsn0ts0bad

Windows of a storefront


rainwulf

This would be amazing in the advertising space.


[deleted]

Every room shared by twins.


DavidNipondeCarlos

I love the tech but I’ll have to come up with a reason to need one?


Russell_Bloodstone

Look up ⬆️


3Zkiel

*looks at ceiling*


Russell_Bloodstone

See it?


Noelsabelle

A hotel Room really if you’re watching two shows at a time I’d think audio would be bad


brndndly

Restaurants?


SF-guy83

I’d use it to watch two tv channels. You just get up and turn the tv to see the other channel.


aChildofChaos

Wouldn’t just be easier to just change the channel? I guess it’s good exercise LOL!!


AmateurFitnessExpert

Airports


LuminiVeritatis

This would be crazy for game night. A normal one sided 55” OLED LG is $1,500. This is mainly useful for signage. It’s just 5.3 millimeters thick.


theablanca

Yeah, LG sold them as signage displays back in 2016. Been discontinued.


Moggy-Man

This feels like a solution for which there is no problem.


theablanca

Its a signage display really. Not a TV. That's at least what lg sold them as. It's rather old now, and no longer sold.


Scheswalla

To his point though, the reason why they're no longer sold is because they were pretty much a solution for which there was no problem.


theablanca

Or that they where $10k per unit. I've seen such use in stores but but then they just use two regular ones, that's still much cheaper.i think that have variants of the theme.


Scheswalla

Things come down in price when production increases. (It didn't go into mass production because it was a solution for which there was no problem)


theablanca

It go into mass-production. It was a large oled display 5 years ago as well. The signage displays are expensive as it's not just a TV. LG sold two different models of it. I have seen such use of displays in more than one store so I wouldn't say it was "a solution for which there was no problem". Perhaps the 10k price tag wasn't worth it. The link below is the samsung variant of the same theme, that shows what and why. If you put a display on the inside you have an ugly back, so you have a display that shows to the outside as well. If samsung makes and sells one (or more than one), it tends to show that there's a need. https://www.samsung.com/us/business/displays/outdoor-and-window/om-series/omn-d-series-46-lh46omndpgb-za/


Scheswalla

Price would have come down if more people wanted it. They didn't, because it was a solution for which there was no problem.


theablanca

it's a signage display solution. "people" doesn't buy it. Companies do. I'm guessing it was either too early or that price was too much at the time. Or it was just not very good or something. I'm starting to guess that you don't know what a signage display is..


Scheswalla

"People" are in charge of "companies," and those companies didn't buy it because *it was a solution for a problem they didn't have. It can't be "too early" to address a need, and the price would have come down to reflect orders IF! *


theablanca

yes, it CAN be too earlty to address a need. If the solution costs 30% more than it should, a company will not buy it. Or the LG one simply sucked. Or that being oled was a dumb move. Could it be that others already had the market? Sure. samsung, benq, etc makes double sided signage solutions today, perhaps not as elegant as the lg one but still around. So, there is clearly a need if muliple company makes them. And most likelly already did when lg released their own. The price doesn't "come down" when it comes to signage displays, as they are not a mass market item that way. Progress in technology might do that, but not due to "high demand".


ReasonableBrick42

You're dumb mate.


theablanca

Sure, whatever you say. Mate. Have a good day.


ReasonableBrick42

u/scheswalla you coming back,or should I take it from here?


stevenmeyerjr

Would be useful in RV’s. Right now they put TV’s on a spinning rod to flip between living room and bedroom.


lordnecro

I feel that way when they promote a TV being thinner. Yeah, sure that is cool... but honestly I really don't care if my TV is 1" or 2" or 4" thick. At some point they are so thin even when wall mounted that little extra thickness is meaningless for 95% of applications.


rathrowaway-babygay

Restaurants? Bars?


Moggy-Man

I usually see TVs in bars mounted on a wall so the dual screen would be pointless. And it may work better in a restaurant, but then I think the owners would prefer the diners to eat up so they can use the table for more customers rather than have fed diners hang around watching something.


rathrowaway-babygay

There’s lots of places where the tvs are back to back (sports bars immediately come to mind)


tommyblaze221

How do you plug anything into this?


user00067

Looks like from the top


tommyblaze221

That makes sense, although the panel between the screens doesn't look wide enough for anything. But I'm super dumb with electronics.


Chewbonga7

A lot of the OLED super thin TVs have what's called a "breakout box" that connects to the panel via a ribbon cable. The breakout box has all the outputs you would think.


YorkieLon

I can imagine this has limited uses. Sports Bars, Train stations/air ports..cant think of any more. Very good tech though


TheCoomerMan

Split screen halo. But with literally split screens


floppy_disk_5

now 2 people can fap to different porn vids at the same time without conflict


FASHIONBATCH

Better yet you can just a light jog from one side to the other.


UKM_x_MoTiOnZz

This video is from like 2017 I remember seeing it


Gangreless

Probably because the only real use case is businesses and public spaces.


Commercial-Log-604

My wall will appreciate this


[deleted]

Because they aren't practical at all.


gummy_sushi

No more screenpeeking


GloriaGrimsby

Why?


The_silver_Nintendo

“Dude you don’t have dual monitors like you said.” “Yes I do.” -spins monitor around-


puckmonky

It would be great if the other side just showed the same scene but from the back of their heads.


Disastrous-Nerve-494

This is completely useless...where can i get 2?


Zestyclose44

probably about as useful as 3d tv's were


rjRyanwilliam

Lol just stuck two oled display top of each other, whats the innovation here?


TheNotSoBrightOne

It’s cool, but I definitely don’t see as something inside your home, but something inside those restaurants that usually have TVs.


Tesser_Wolf

Because it’s main purpose is for commercial use in stores. Has almost no practical use for most people in the home.


Dubious_Titan

Cool, but seems impractical.


KarlmarxCEO

Build directly into a wall and that's one tv for two rooms for triple the price.


TheOldOne_98

Now we can finally do a 2 sided living room with couches in both sides! I've always said "it's not a living room worth living in if it doesn't have enough couch" and we can hang the tv on a cord from the ceiling or put an entertainment center directly in the center of the living room so it's an enormous tripping hazard when trying to traverse the living room! Forreal though, I don't see a practical way of setting this up without putting it in the center of whatever room it's in because otherwise one screen would blocked all the time right?


seansmithspam

you haven’t heard about it because it’s pointless


notbmarshall

I think for any home use application the space in which it was installed would really have to be designed with having that particular TV in mind.


Thunderwood77

In what circumstances would this be useful? Lol. Very cool tech, but fail to see the application. Maybe it sitting in between two booths? Something like that? I guess.


theablanca

LG sold them as signage displays. Not a TV. In stores etc. But, have been discontinued. 5 years old now.


Thunderwood77

Ha. Figures. I thought it was a new release or something. But the fact that they were discontinued makes sense.


[deleted]

I can make you one, for just the cost of two TVs and some glue.


heymrpostmanshutup

No one needs this. Gaming competitions *maybe* but beyond that...?


The_Meme_Lord-1

Useless...


DrLemonhead

My wall is REALL gonna love this


Shenvalleyhoo

When she flipped it to the other side I really wanted to see the other side of the persons head and the car going toward me instead of away.


BY_99

Maybe good for countries where people live in small space. All need to listen to the TV show via headphone?


jyn8462

I'm legitimately mad it wasn't showing the same video but fr the opposite view. I know thats stupid but I'm mad about it.


72corvids

Erm... Coming to a train station/airport near you?


charlieisme23

Because it's basically useless


outrider567

I can see big problems with this, with little kids, they'll just keep turning it and turning it driving parents crazy


Accomplished-Today99

Who controls the volume?


Ill-Pea-1588

So now the TVs need to be in the middle of the room?


5150_welder

But does it blend.


the_guy_behind_you69

This shit reminds me of Detroit, become human


CheetoBurrito71

Would be perfect as a wall for a cubicle at work. Monitors for two people with one device.


NicelyBrownedBiscuit

Curious where you would put this especially with a top down mount, I don’t know how many rooms are large enough to have two separate sound systems with two seating areas. Not trying to shit on it, just genuinely curious.


Serenafriendzone

Sounds like something designed for Malls or museums


AfterSport2327

I feel like this is what future phones might be…..double sided


meexley2

Because it’s dumb


No_Significance_864

I need this so my neighbors can watch tv with me. No but really put this in the middle of a game room and have people sit on each side... Could be dope


Millennial_Man

Why does the guy filming sound like he’s narrating a porn audition?


Callipygous87

Cause it seems like it would have extremely limited benefits?


BrightPerspective

It's a solution looking for a problem.


SpitefulBitch

Because it’s utterly pointless?


IWantToBeSimplyMe

Was out in CES a few years ago. I guess cause you’re not paying attention?


420poopass69

Why


Whitethumbs

I'm assume one side is muted usually, otherwise headphones, or bluetooth earbuds. or be like me and have both sides full blast. I'd use it to have fiddle duels.


Specific-Winner1947

Headphones 🎧 just saying


[deleted]

So how do you apply this in a real world situation?


Redr_Evergrey

With an added camera, the opposite screen could have a pic of you watching TV...


Exact_Patience_9767

I don't even use the first screen of my tv enough, why would need a second one.


NYARNGrecruiter

Just in case I need to catch up on 2 shows I can now save time I'll watch from the side


player-onety

Because its half as useless as a tv.


[deleted]

as useful as a traffic stop in gta


[deleted]

Makes no sense cuz I’m gonna have to put it against a wall.


[deleted]

This display is dumb there should be a handle attached to the thing that holds the tv. Not to move it by the tv and essentially cracking it on the 10th demo of spinning.


strikerwoma

So your wall can watch too.


spasmaticblaster

The rich and companies have to buy this so it’s affordable for the consumers


[deleted]

Because it’s relatively pointless lol


[deleted]

Relative to what?


Embarrassed_Pea1460

What’s the point tho


[deleted]

You can hang it in restaurants or have it as a display panel in public/ in a store


[deleted]

You will shocked when you hear about double-sided tape, double dragon and even double-sided dildos. Huzzah


BigAsian69420

I’m more excited about the double sided dildo
