But presumably this TV didn't have a built-in backlight. I'm suggesting
a laptop which uses *both* its usual backlight *and* some supplemental
ambient or solar light, for example by making the back plastic translucent.
Surely this has to be at least as good as the comparable machine without the
translucent back!
