I've been asked by a friend to research information about a super-size
monitor. Essentially, what I am looking for is a color monitor that is 10
feet by 10 feet with a resolution of say 13,000 by 13,000--don't ask me what
for because I don't know what for, I'm just the gumshoe--and any necessary
equipment to drive it. (can you imagine what kind of equipment is necessary
to drive 169 million pixels!) Basically, my friend needs to generate some very
large images with extremely fine details. Color is preferable, but not
absolute. Money is not really a concern at this moment, so lets hear anything
you got. Also, if it means building it custom, that is what my friend wants
to know. So IBM, RCA, Tektronik, HP, etc, if you're listening and have any
experience in a monitor this large I would like to hear from you, as well as
if you have any "off-the-top-of-you-head" price estimates send those along. I
fully expect to hear in the millions, but that's okay. Right now, my friend
needs to know if anybody has done this, or if anybody can do this.
I know that there are also some analog systems out and about of this type of
magnitude. Although not preferable, I would like to hear about them as well.
Please E-mail only your responses to me as I am gone periodically on business
and we keep only a days worth of news on our system for a myriad of reasons.
However, I will summarize periodically to comp.graphics the responses I do
receive, as I am sure there are others who are as fascinated as I with the
leviathan proportions of this Mega-Monitor.
