Worlds Largest Hi-Def Video Screen Created

Yet another cool thing from the land of the rising sun.

Mitsubishi Electric has completed construction of the world’s largest high-definition video screen at a horse track in Tokyo.

The screen employs Mitsubishi’s Aurora Vision LED technology and measures 11.2 meters (37 feet) x 66.4 meters (218 feet), giving it a surface area of 744 square meters (8,000+ square feet), or the equivalent of 3 tennis courts. Mitsubishi manufactured the screen for the Japan Racing Association (JRA) at its Nagasaki factory in the town of Togitsu, Nagasaki prefecture.

The screen was divided into 35 pieces for delivery to the Tokyo Racecourse in Fuchu, Tokyo.

wow, thats one massive screen, once again japan shows the world that their still 2years ahead of everbody else.

Lol, I'd love to play Crysis on that bugger XD

I see in the future, ciname screens won't be projected anymore but replaced with hyper High Definition suckers like this thing.
Imagine the Eyecandy.

Its pretty impressive...I didn't know horse races were that big in Japan.

The Miami Dolphins did have the biggest HDTV which was 50 feet high by 137 feet across, But the "worlds Biggest" title never stays in one spot for very long.
