"It could end arguments over which channel to watch on television: next month Sharp, the consumer electronics company, will launch a liquid-crystal display that shows two different images to people watching from the left and the right.
While one person browses the web, using the monitor as a PC screen, another can watch television. The monitor can also show two television programmes simultaneously.
Mikio Katayama, head of Sharp's LCD business, said yes terday: "Take a typical [Japanese] family, in which the mother likes watching drama and the father likes baseball. Now they can watch them together on the same screen."
The display, which is expected to cost twice as much as an ordinary LCD television, will go on sale worldwide, and the technology will be sold for other firms to use, Sharp said."
Am I missing something here? If a twin screen tv costs twice as much as an ordinary tv, why not simply buy two ordinary tvs?
