Display in 16 by 9 or 4 by 3, Literally
Studio FRST is going to get your squared away with a TV that simplifies(?) to an extra degree. The studio says that the form shows the function. That’s true. It’d fit right in at the home of a modernist, probably also at the house of a minimalist. It leaves space to put your tiny fern if you want! Put it right there under the side there! It will look nice, totally nice!
The title of this project is “16943″ -intuitive, huh? It’s got a “crystal asymmetrical black picture on a glass base.” As you’d expect, the dvd slot (yes there’s that system built in, how nice), and the controls for the TV are located up under there in that square negative space.

cool idea…

Stupid idea. Why not just fill in the corner and have a bigger tv. Its not like it stops the tv from getting black bars. The bars are just way more obvious.

This has a good concept, but a bad execution.
I mean, that space (Unless it’s intentional) could be easily transformed into a button-set.
Either that, or just round of that weird block, make the whole screen touchable, and whenever a black bar shows up it becomes the ‘touchable menu’
I feel like this concept is over-complicating things a bit.
Nice render, though.

when i originally saw this, it was put as a solution to there being black bars on the sides when you watch standard def tv on an hdtv. in that respect its incredibly stupid, because now, instead of the occasional 2 black bars, you have 1 black bar that is always there, no matter what.
purely as an interesting design, though, i DO like it. you could easily have some kind of display, or interface, maybe some network widgets of some kind, to display weather ot stocks info or something like that.

Nive design for designers
Right place – best place for the Photoshop panels for example

How about remotecontroller on the corner?
KwangErn says
Does it automagically switch between the two?
But seriously, how practical is this…? No one really cares when watching TV unless you’re _that_ pedantic…

a single larger display module would be much cheaper to make than this thing
