Sandia's 20-Million-Pixel, 130-Square-Foot Screen

schauba writes: "Cipherwar has an article describing Sandia National Laboratories' new 10-foot by 13-foot, 20-million-pixel screen. The screen was created to allow scientists to view extremely complicated systems without sacrificing detail. The images are created through a parallel imaging system using 64 computers to generate the output. This makes my 17" monitor suddenly seem so inadequate." You can also view the same text with pretty pictures on Sandia's site.
