Now, if they make the screen "non-reflective" (I don't know the proper English word, so I made one up.) this could be something for a stage. Anything shown on a "screen with a built in mirror" might be hard to identify in certain lighting situations.




Have you ever tried it?

Screens that emit their own light don't often "mirror". Regardless of "stage lighting" or not.

The only problem with standard illumination computer screens is daylight. It is a bit much to expect the internal backlighting of the screen to compete with the kind of light Old Sol emits. Still, today's backlighting is more Daylight Viewable than standard screens of a few years ago, often working quite well in Daylight environments. There was a time when those who had a need to use computer screens in daylight environments had to spend more money on a "Daylight" screen, which typically was the same screen in front but with a more heavy duty backlighting situation in which not only the intensity but the frequency of the light tubes was different than standard. That may just soon be a thing of the past entirely as many of the laptop and touchscreen pads of today are indeed Daylight Viewable.

Mirroring, never encountered it except with the old glass front CRT monitors.
