But what about the sound?

Wow! I can watch two crappy reality shows at the same time. First?

so instead of flipping channels all the guys will be changing seats now?

So this is like one of the Strawberry Shortcake hologram stickers I had as a kid where when you move it back and forth it waves?
Funny Name, you just sent 200 executives at Sharp Corp. into similtaneous heart attacks.

Huh, dunno how they'll handle sound. Good point, Funny.

Funny, Giddy - that's the first thing I thought of, too. There's only one answer and it spoils the whole product: headphones. :-(
That's probably why it's not even mentioned in the article...
One television,
Two simultaneous shows;
What about the sound?

Wouldn't 2 screens be cheaper? Or 2 tvs?
Or tell the children that "when you live in your own house and buy your own tv you can watch what you want!!!"

Polly - oh, shoot ... you mean I was supposed to move the sticker back and forth?
Damn right, kibby!

Bringing families together? Is this what quality family time has been reduced to? I'm glad it hasn't in my home.

Congrats, John! It's a great feeling, isn't it!
Way to go!

Peace of mind?
It's not gonna do much for my peace of mind, if I know there's drivers out there looking at road maps (or DVDs) instead of watching the road ...

You guys are missing the whole point here...
This is not for TV's, it's for computer monitors!
Just imagine, you can position your monitor such that, you can be on the blog, refreshing the screen constantly, so you can get your (not you're) first "First!".
But when your (still not you're) boss looks in, all he'll see is your work stuff open.
Genius, I say. Pure Genius!.

Are you kidding me?! This is freaking brilliant!
Guys, think about the last time your wife/girl friend/companion of the opposite gender guilted you into watching some chick flick on the Oxygen Channel.
Now imagine having this TV. You just make sure she's sitting on the right side, and you secretly take your "left side" remote and switch to the ball game. Or the Playboy Channel. (Or most likely, back and forth between the two, since you're a guy.)
Who cares about the sound? You get beaucoup "sensitivity points" for sitting attentively through the chick flick, without ever actually having to watch any of it. Plus, she'll feel so loving and "close" afterwards, you'll probably get a special reward (if you know what I mean).
I repeat: freaking brilliant!

qetzal is right; psychotic, but absolutely right.
Now my wife can watch all the Lifetime Family Channel chick flicks she wants and I can watch...anything else.

Thanks, Jeff! That's the nicest think anyone's said about me in a long time! }:^D

This is great, but it did not say anything about there being two remotes. That alone will alleviate stress levels in homes. Hers will be pink, mine will have the numbers rubbed off from over use.

I don't see the problem with the sound. You're either watching the news and hearing cartoon voices, which seems perfectly appropriate, or you're watching cartoon characters read the news, as usual.
