A Beach of Life with Easy Radiant

The idea behind the transflective LCD display is brilliant, a solution for anyone who wants to work or watch videos while outdoors. Instead of looking at your laptop screen while trying to shade it from direct sunlight to prevent the image from washing out, you can sit in full sunlight. You need to be careful about reflections, otherwise you'll get annoying glare in the sun's reflection. Applying a matte coating to the display will interfere with sunlight reflecting in, so it's a glossy screen by design.

On the other hand, the contrast ratio can't be compared to a fully backlit display so if you were thinking of using it to edit photos or create art you might be disappointed. The same goes for watching movies, the lack of contrast will dampen your enjoyment even though the overall picture will definitely be sharper than your laptop and bigger than your phone. You don't need to lug a power source around with you, as you can see in the pictures the maximum brightness of the backlight is 30% more than the additional brightness provided by the ambient light around you.

If you want an outdoor screen to watch something from your phone while relaxing on the beach, you won't find another product that matches the Eazeye Radiant. The $700 asking price is a bit of a hindrance to the enjoyment, you'd really need to spend your screen time outdoors to invest that much money. The price reflects its unique features and the fact that it does not benefit from the cost-effectiveness of mass production.

It will be exciting to see what Louis Huang comes up with next, having pioneered the design, production and sale of unique products. Here's hoping for more exciting projects from him in the future.
