There’s been a lot of progress lately on Perovskite durability. Apparently there are even some (VERY) expensive hybrid panels available now. It’s coming.

I’ve only watched it twice. First in the theatre on release (and I’ve NEVER experienced an audience reaction like that at a movie), and the 2nd time with my teen ghost-story-obsessed daughter
