I used a video rearview mirror on a 2019 Cadillac Escalade recently and it drove me crazy. The low frame rate was obvious and the resolution of the video screen was much lower than a glass mirror, despite the wider angle of view.

I had to flip the rearview up into "night mode" to drive the car without feeling like I was going to get in a wreck.

Anyone else tried these in real life?
