Yup, I've seen them before. In fact, looking at a catalogue here, there's
crt and lcd models avaialble from 3M. This one is supposed to make
it look black, unless viewed straight on. Similar idea, but the
one requiring the glasses is much nicer :)

One better idea than that. How bout I just start WORKING when late-night
TV is on? I find working from home at night to be the most productive,
by far. Don't have said annoying supervisor coming in every half hour and
spending 5 minutes googling.. goggling.. whichever, at my screen and
asking me what I'm doing because he doesn't understand it.
