Re: LCD screen alternative

<< Sharp made several versions of a display panel that was designed
to work in conjunction with an overhead projector.
I have seen several units that accept an RGB input.
It should be possible to add a backlite and reflecting surface to
have a relatively cheap LCD screen alternative.

Sounds good, until you try it.  Up close, not projected on to a wall, the
characters and images appear "blocky" and slow to change.  I know that LCD
screens made for the Apple II have to be fiddled with to be seen somewhat
clearly, but I've tried different angles and backlighting,  I don't think that
it's a viable alternative.
