Heh. I saw a 98" UHD TV the other day in a store. THERE I noticed the difference... when standing less than a foot away. The pixels were big! But even I wouldn't be using a TV that big unless I was sitting on a couch. And I'm the weirdo who uses a 47" display as one of my monitors. Just the thought of dragging a mouse across a screen that big makes the carpal tunnel flare up! ;-) (I was surprised at how inexpensive screens that big had become though; it seems that just a few years ago anything larger than 60" was in the $5-6000USD range, and now you can get a 98" screen for less than 2 grand). >Maybe if I had a Bradbury telewall I'd consider it. I'd probably end up with four Telewalls for full wrap-around immersion. Next best thing to the holodeck! ;-) (I'd have to do something about all the furniture blocking the view, though. It wouldn't feel very Doom-like if that credenza with the daisies on top of it were always in view)
