Both will have similar results.

You or I wont be able to tell the difference between 4k upsampled and native super high res.

Slashdot had a story a few weeks ago about two teenagers that hacked comcasts main page without accessing sensitive data. I wonder if I can get those two kids to hack this thing ]]>Jun 19th 2008 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/comcast-centers-video-wall-packs-10-million-pixels-into-27-x-87/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/comcast-centers-video-wall-packs-10-million-pixels-into-27-x-87/
But 27 THOUSAND GIGABYTES? You mean 27 Terabytes? Or are you getting really confused?

Im guessing alot of whats going on is flash or similar based GUI with videos running as well... Its ment to be interactive. Even if everything was 1:1 uncompressed i really dont see how they managed to hit 27TB.

So maybe you guys misread the specs or some thing.

In any case its a cool design :) Ill take 2 of them for my bedroom and living room.

play solitaire (though your boss would probably know)

get payed to advertise a company on it

make it a solid white screen and you could get rid of all the lights in the room

watch porn (again, your boss would likely know)

keep zooming in on a celebrity and see what kind of germs they have on their face




Things you probably couldn't do with it...

fit it through the doorway into your house

view a picture full screen

interface it with a laptop

skydive

gain the respect of your customers]]>Jun 19th 2008 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/comcast-centers-video-wall-packs-10-million-pixels-into-27-x-87/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/comcast-centers-video-wall-packs-10-million-pixels-into-27-x-87/Jun 19th 2008 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/comcast-centers-video-wall-packs-10-million-pixels-into-27-x-87/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/comcast-centers-video-wall-packs-10-million-pixels-into-27-x-87/Jun 19th 2008 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/comcast-centers-video-wall-packs-10-million-pixels-into-27-x-87/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/comcast-centers-video-wall-packs-10-million-pixels-into-27-x-87/
How many video switches could be upgraded with that $22 million, so that they would no longer have to compress the crap out of HD channels? Or $22 million in routers? How much faster would their internet connections then be? (Probably none, just more overhead.)

They need to rethink their business practices, a giant video wall is nice and all, but if you really want to affect the customer, give them something better than what you are now.

I'm glad I'm no longer with Comcast (although 10 years of Comcast internet, some of that probably ended up in this video wall.)]]>Jun 19th 2008 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/comcast-centers-video-wall-packs-10-million-pixels-into-27-x-87/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/comcast-centers-video-wall-packs-10-million-pixels-into-27-x-87/Jun 19th 2008 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/comcast-centers-video-wall-packs-10-million-pixels-into-27-x-87/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/19/comcast-centers-video-wall-packs-10-million-pixels-into-27-x-87/
