Picture-in-picture functionality saves you from having to get multiple TVs.
The Picture-in-Picture (PIP) feature on your TV is an excellent way to take full advantage of your TV's capabilities. Enabling PIP lets you display video from two inputs on your screen. The inputs you can display on the screen at the same time depends on what type of TV you have. You can watch a movie in the primary window and display the news or a sporting event in the PIP window. Setting up PIP on most TVs only takes a few minutes.
