You just remind me something I forgot that I did almost 20 years ago.
I had 3 hard plastic panel where you could put in 2-3 letter size pages. I stick them together with some tape and created my own customizable DM screen (the panels were verticals). I think I put some black paper on the exterior, or in between both sheets. Exterior sheet was content useful for the players.
At $19.99 USD for the Customizable Screen ... I can't picture anyone adding these to their game. Granted the screen is VERY cool! I'm not disputing on how amazing it is... Yet at $19.99 USD, I doubt many people will buy it unless it's maybe like some kind of ADD-ON. Like a premium screen for a game that ONLY requires one screen and not one per player.
It's a nice addition... But the cost is very HIGH. If it would have been around at $9.99 USD then I could see someone creating a PREMIUM version of their game and including four (4) of theses.
Like I said it's cool... But not practical when it comes to STANDARD games out there.
I think it's intended for a single DM or GM to use in an RPG, so there probably is a market. You can get the same effect plus binder rings for about the same price with the tabloid 3 ring binders: https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/1388845/Office-Depot-Brand-Heavy-...
But the screen does close down for easier storage.
I agree that the tabloid size is interesting. A normal binder would be too small.
An yes it is more useful for game masters. I used to play many RPG rules than D&D, and each system did not necessarily have it's screen. So my solution was perfect for such situation. I printed sheet and inserted them in it.
Some players made artwork during the game, I just inserted on the player's side of the screen.
I think it's a slick idea. This 4 folded screen does not have to be used for gaming.

There are probably a whole ton of ideas that this product can be used for.
The price is fine.
