Anything cool that I can pull off with a TI-Viewscreen? I have a TI-83 plus VSC to go with it.
Some non-practical but interesting thoughts:
1. Play a movie on it.
2. Show up with it on exam day and explain to the teacher that your eyes are bad.
3. Replace your television screen with the Viewscreen(c).
EDIT: This is extremely interesting:

I've demonstraded a viewscreen at a conference a few times - I've been using 83+SE and 84+SE VSC calcs. My usual demo is Bad Apple: https://www.omnimaga.org/ti-z80-calculator-projects/bad-apple-se/60/
As someone interested in grayscale, the viewscreen has very different characteristics from the on-calc screens. for BASIC programs it's not going to matter a whole lot, but it's not going to be easy to play some of the faster assembly programs on the viewscreen.
I do recommend finding an overhead projector (someone you know might have one in the basement) or at least a light box. These really are fun displays to work with.

I like number 1.

Bad apple’s really interesting. There’s also a Pokémon-style game I coded where you pass the calculator back and forth for the players’ turns which would be fun on a viewscreen.
