Fujitsu's MONSTER 231-inch TV

And no, beleive it or not, this isn't an article from The Onion.

Fujitsu's 231-inch TV Sports About 10 Pixels Per Square Inch, Not Quite HD

On first glance, Fujitsu's Super Frontech Vision LD is pretty awesome. It's a 231-inch TV, after all, and as we all know, the bigger the TV, the less empty you'll feel inside. The problem is, the thing has a resolution of 512x288. Yeah, that's not a typo, 512x288. That means you'd probably have to stand 30 feet back for it to look anything other than a big blurry piece of garbage. And they have the audacity to charge about $500,000 for this thing! Hey Fujitsu, I know where you can stick your 231-inch TV, and you aren't going to like it.

If you really have to stand back so far, why even bother watching it

JumboTrons (those huge screens at sports stadiums) are based on vacuum fluorescent technology. As far as I know, this Fujitsu screen might be the first gigantic LCD.

A resolution like that would certainly be meant for specialized mounting, like in a smaller arena or something. I suspect this thing is cheaper than a JumboTron.
