WIDE Screen TV

xoxoxoBruce · 06-15-2014, 12:48 PM

Oh you have a wide screen TV. What's that, an 80 incher? Well isn't that special.

Back up, wimp. Feast your eyes on a real man's wide screen... 370 inches of gobsmacking goodness. That's 30.8 feet, 9.4 meters, 10.3 yards, 0.00507 Nautical miles, well you get the picture...
Oh wait... since it's a pretty good bet you're one of the 99%, you haven't got the $1,700,000 USD (£1,000,000) plus tax & tags, to be able to watch Debbie Does Dallas in 65 million colors and 4k resolution.

Pity... had to have ~~my minions~~ the authorities eminent domain and destroy the neighbor's homes for a couple miles. You know, to keep them from watching my screen.
Be a dear and peel me a grape.

Ah, yes...'Debbie Does Dallas'...

...good times, man, good times.

In my new job I am learning about video walls and blended projectors...

...which can produce a much larger image than that for a quarter the price

Sure, I've seen those used a lot of places and they look good, but with that setup it's a lot harder to claim largest after seeing the ones they setup for shows at Wembly, or Yankee Stadium or Rio. You'd also have to displace a lot more neighbors

There'd still be nothing worth watching and you'd have to sit in the next parish not to watch it.

What are they using the system for?

Undertoad · 06-16-2014, 06:28 AM

They are manufacturing the circuits and firmware and drivers needed to create such things, and selling them to distributors of audio-visual products. People use the video walls for lots of things, like for security, and network operations centers, and conventions, theatres, big-ass churches, everything.

I had the chance to get close to one of those walls at the R&R Hall of Fame. I was amazed how it looked bad at 3 feet while it looked great at 6 or more. I thought it would take a bigger transition, but I guess what they were playing would make a difference. Some have a stripe between each screen like a window mullion. It was interesting how my brain would quickly disregard them, like I was looking out a window.

The screen bezel, the plastic bit that goes around the border, has to be carefully programmed out by the wall builder. I learned that last week. This week I am going to try to do it. I only have four screens, but it's something.
