40-foot-wide HD Display



40-foot-wide HD Display

It seems some people just can’t get enough of their displays. NASA came with Hyperwall 2, but some were quick to say that the jail bar effect produced by the rims of each display is something that will lead to eye fatigue. Why not build a huge display out of smaller monitors, but without that nasty bar effect?



Just like that! And who could have come with such an idea? A gamer, most certainly. What you see in the picture is a 40-foot-wide, 15-foot-tall display consisting of 27 HD monitors, each measuring up to 60” in diagonal. The hardcore gamer went ahead and installed the immense display in his office. But did you think that he’d allow others to benefit from it? Not quite. He alone played Bioshock and World of Warcraft. Hey, what about some movies for those office colleagues?

DVice informs that the 40’ display is capable of displaying images at 12,600 x 3,150. Well now, I wonder what kind of supercomputer this guy has. Did it cross his mind to play Crysis? How fluent can it run at that resolution? I still think that the display is using some kind of special software that splits the image in 27 in order to make the rendering process easier for the GPU and CPU.

I say this guy is working for some cool game developing company and the entire team visualizes the result on the huge display. Right, and they’d play stuff at insane resolutions during the breaks.
