Default RIP PiP

Hmm got to love them initials.

Anyhow...

I think that is a pretty badass idea and opens up the door for a lot of stuff.

But I could see so much potential for videogames with that

off topic reply... I saw your avatar and remembered a very old Nintendo commercial with the infamous phrase, "NINTENDO! NOW YOUR PLAYING WITH POWER!"

thought I'd bring that up lol...

Did you actually read the article? You'd have to be on one side relative to the screen to watch the movie and on the other side to see your review. I don't know about you, but I have a very hard time existing in two places at once. All the effort would be enough to make me...just pull out a laptop and write a review on that while watching the movie on a TV screen.

You need to find better ways of wasting your time. As I stated in the end of my post "Many possibilities...."

Theres no telling what they'll be able to do with this. Whose to say you can't pivot the 2nd LCD and flip it so you can watch both screens? But I'm guessing that the article told you the ins and outs of every aspect of this concept.

Just stop attacking me...
