Digital Art For Your Wall-Mounted TV

Posted by simoniker on Monday October 27, 2003 @10:10AM from the simpsons-also-work-of-art dept.

Makarand writes "According to the San Francisco Chronicle, if you own a plasma or LCD TV hanging on your wall, you could display high-definition video reproductions of famous paintings on your TV screen after watching your favorite sitcoms. Companies have begun selling devices that can display the work of world-famous artists and photographers on your TV screens. The art is stored on removable flash memory cards (sold separately) and is displayed onto high-definition TVs by electronics that cost around $500."

Burn in anyone? by silverhalide · 2003-10-27 10:23 · Score: 1, Redundant

Plasma TVs are especially prone to burn-in problems. Having a static image on the screen for many hours may cause problems. They may have fixed this with newer versions of the displays, but I've seen some Plasma TV's at the airport with horrendous burn in (screen was unusable).
