Because these billboards are just monitors rotated 90 degrees, they’re invisible to polarized sunglasses. It’s like a real-life ad blocker!
@sandofsky With the added bonus of not being able to see your car console while driving because that is also a monitor now!

@Unabart @sandofsky thankfully I do not need a car. Lucky me.

BTW this reminds me of the movie They Live

@prefec2 @sandofsky I love my car. I’m lucky I have one. It’s been a tremendous benefit to my livelihood. I would be fucked without it.

@Unabart @sandofsky This is unfortunate for you that you need a car and that they use screens with polarised light so many sunglasses can render them unusable. Unfortunately, this issue does not disappear with OLED. Of course this can be avoided with another type of sunglasses, but that can be quite expensive when you need special ones tailored to your eyes.

BTW thanks for reminding me of this issue. I would have missed that otherwise.

@prefec2 @sandofsky I don’t have polarized glasses. I can see everything as intended!
