U of CA Constructs 220 Million Pixel Display
eldavojohn writes "Engineers at the University of California, San Diego have built a 220 million pixel display across 55 high-resolution tiled screens. Linked via optical fiber to Calit2's building at UC Irvine, the display can deliver real-time rendered graphics simultaneously across 420 million pixels to audiences in Irvine and San Diego."
they're an hour apart. that's a lot of people fighting over the remote.
Just in time for my $420 million webpage.

It's not a display, it's a tanning salon for geeks.
The only thing is, they'll risk overexposing themselves to pr0n and who knows what kind of a mark that'll leave on virgin skin.
pac-man anyone?
mine was... What's the return policy on dead pixels?
I think that since you're supposed to look at it from 7km away you can't see the seams.
The main problem is that they need 408 repeaters for the USB mouse and keyboard.

Made from the freshest electrons.
This is what they say in public:
"...allows us to experiment on the two campuses with distributed teams that can collaborate and share insights derived from a better understanding of complex results."
But it private:
"this is fucking awesome!"
So how many bad pixels do I need before they'll exchange this thing? http://news.com.com/2102-1041_3-5579493.html?tag=s t.util.print
Did anyone else have to square root this to see if it was impressive or not?
And a high chair.

I would have thought that non-Americans would have interpreted U of CA as University of Canada...
We're also aware that /. is run by Americans, and that Americans aren't aware that there are any Universities in Canada.
Mods: That's a joke. That's "haha" as distinctly opposed to "die troll scumbag take this -1 and then we'll see who has the last laugh!".
I hate printers.
oh, come on. We all know that the average man will be able to see every pixel of the glorious display as long as it's showing big boobies! yay for boobies!.. erm.. of course the average woman would still think the 13" TV is just as good as long as there's a reality TV show on. :)
