Interesting concept but flawed by the price point.

The main purpose of wanting to use this instead of a regular TV is the cost of electricity. However, since this unit costs $49, it is rather unlikely you will recoup the cost of the unit in electricity savings.

However, if this unit cost the same as an ordinary nightlight, then you’d have a winner on your hands.

Oh well.
