Collapsible LCD Screens

Posted by timothy on from the sounds-tempting dept.

Schart writes "I can't seem to find any pictures of exactly what they mean by 'collapsible LCD,' but NEC today announced a new line of low(ish) priced LCD screens that 'fold up for easy portability.'" Anyone out there who can supply visual documentation?

      Yeah, it's called Playboy magazine, and it's much cheaper than the LCD. Think man, which would you rather have sticking together: a few pages of a $5 magazine, or the edges of a $500 folding LCD? Sheesh!

  9. It's a singularity! by Nathdot · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is how it works (I have my sources. Don't question me!):

    * You pay your 500 clams
    * You take your monitor home and out of the packagaing
    * It collapses in on it self, all black-hole-like

    The reason there are no photos of it, obviously, is because it isn't human viewable. And now, a word of advice: Stand the fuck back when it collapses 'cos that things has some serious gravitational pull!

    This has been a public service announcement. Thankyou.

    Assuming foldable screens fold as well as paper, you get 8 or 9 folds max.

    Not if you use an accordion pleated fold. Well, at least accordion to my sources....

    If the roll up uses the same thing that those vinyl roll up white window shades and seatbelts do I'll never be able to get it to work.
