World’s Greatest TV- Toshiba 2651
Ever dream of a large TV? Bigger than your house, perhaps. It may sound absurd, but “Mitsubishi Electric has completed construction of the world’s largest high-definition (HDTV) video screen – the Toshiba 2651 – at a race track in Tokyo. The screen uses Mitsubishi’s Aurora Vision LED technology and measures 37 feet (11.2m high) by 218 feet (66.4m long), giving it a surface area of 8,000+ square feet, or the equivalent of 3 tennis courts! And it’s about 4 storeys high!!!
Mitsubishi manufactured the screen for the Japan Racing Association (JRA) at its Nagasaki factory. The screen was divided into 35 pieces for delivery to the Tokyo Racecourse in Fuchu. The bright, high-definition display is 3 times larger than what was previously installed at the horse track and the screen’s three sections allow the audience to take in the action at other tracks.
Total cost is reported to be 3.2 billion yen (£15 million). One athletic reporter in Japan recorded a video of herself sprinting from one end of the 2,651inch monster to the other in 12.8 seconds! You’d have to stack 1,550 32inch TVs to match the size of this mother of all TV screens.”
