One note now especially about the parallel topic of video, but important in the context of "OLED outdoors".
The video experience, having watched a few hours of university lessons and interviews, seems to be close to excellent. And all done in the open sunlight. When done in the shade, e.g. in the car, it was like enjoying a "big screen" projected anywhere a comfortable position and an adequate background may match.

So I write this to stress a fleeting thought which may be unduly overlooked. OLED is typically terrible when getting even close to natural light (and they marketed it as "infinite contrast" - in some interpretation of the terms that make no sense in the real world).
So how come this implementation works so well?
Simply, with the use of the sun lenses plugins. Reducing with a simple trick the light that would wash out the display. It suggests the parallel of being able to dim the light around you while holding a palm-oriented OLED-based mobile device, enclosing you in a temporary bell to reduce excessive sunlight... Somehow, there is genius in it.

If a technology was implemented, to match the available one of setting the display brightness, to have adjustable intensity of the sun lenses, from transparent to obscuring with a few degrees in between, electronically selectable...
