    What’s with this site? Uses JS to first slowly load the layout, then the teaser pic, then the text. Wrong priorities i guess.

      One by one looking at peoples phones like that is annoying. But when all 3 of them watch with their binoculars, spotting scopes and looking glasses, it is hilarious AF.

    I remember when narrow viewing angles of an LCD screen would cost you ratings on a review. Good move marketing it as a “feature”.

      Businesses buy IPS displays, the tech that trades colors and contrast for a wider viewing angle. Then they slap a prism foil on top, to reduce the viewing angle (but also colors and contrast). They do this for decades now.

      I mean, buy a TN or VA instead? They are even cheaper.

      Yeah but it’s toggleable. That makes all the difference.

      I think it uses the same tech as the 3DS did, only in an implementation that doesn’t give you a migraine after 30 seconds.

      If you can toggle it, it’s definitely a feature worth praising, I’d say.

      (And as a warning to all those spicy novel readers out there: An LCD from a bad viewing angle will still often show what you’re looking at, but inverted.)
