Does it make sense to make large TV panels with variable densities? Like most of the resolution would be in the middle 50% of the area, and the rest of the panel would be at a lower resolution. It's just a thought.
I dault any real savings will be made. However it could be useful to have less strict requirement on certain less important areas on bad pixels to get higher yield. I would however personally go with a display that I know is consistent.
Something like this has been used in video games for years. As the cursor is being moved, the display is updated to a higher degree of resolution nearer the cursor while the periphery receives lower resolution images.
As the scenery movement slow down, the graphics subsystem 'catches up' with the peripheral areas. The idea here is that the operator's attention is most likely focused on or near the cursor as it is being moved. When left stationary, there is no (easy) way to tell where attention is being focused and where to prioritize graphics resources. This may change as technologies are being developed that can detect the direction of a viewer's gaze.
