Wow, I've always wanted to see the wall behind my tv

I was glad to have a TV to cover that wall where approximately three dozen TVs have been mounted previously.

And all of the associated wires that were previously tucked conveniently out of view.

Any LCD could do this. They're innately transparent. It just never leaves the prototype / floor-model stage, because it's kinda stupid.

One egregious example was an admittedly large screen, set vertically, pushing the idea it was "holographic telepresence." A guy walked in front of a camera and his flat image appeared vaguely three-dimensional because it hovered in front of, essentially, a well-lit bathtub.

This is more expensive, significantly smaller, and doesn't give the impression the guy might step out of the thing.
