Back to what I was thinking about the proliferation of CRTs a couple of weeks ago…. Spurred on by this great stat’s site that Ed just sent to me.
According to the CIA worldbook (2002) there are 1.4 billion TVs worldwide. If you had that many TVs to play with you might as well build a TV wall in 16:9. So you would end up with a TV which is proably about 25 km wide and 14 km high. Which in traditional TV parlance would be a 1.1 million inch widescreen TV. Very high definition. Suggested viewing distance is 70 km.
Would need to take the Earth’s curvature into account and also wait for the perfect weather conditions before watching the Matrix again.
