Mmmm.....tallscreen.
Is bigger always better? In this case, I would say yes. At least in terms of sheer awesomeness. What you’re looking at here is a future 33-story LED screen on a building in Dubai. You know, the place where the mega-rich go on vacation and they have nothing better to do than create their own islands in the shape of palm trees?
This screen is so large that you can see ads on it from 1.5 km away. How’s that for getting your message across to the masses. All I can think about is a massive game of Tetris, where each block is the size of a small office building.
Then when I’m done with than, how bout some Arkanoid and then finish the day off with a quick game of Raiden Fighters. Oh the possibilites…. How much do to you think it would cost for me to rent that for a few hours? Do you take Amex?

Very interesting and amazing. The engineer in me is amazed, the conservative in me wonders if the money could be spent more effectively. Either way it is awesome, thanks for the post.
Quite the engineering marvel indeed. With regards to spending in excess - there will always be people who make so much money they don’t know what to do with it. Thus is the the way the world works…
