I have found a videowall with Samsung SAMSUNG 460ux-2 screens, nine of them, for the sum of 3800 USD plus some shipping (not a lot of shipping, comparatively). It uses 2700 Watts together and could heat the house quite nicely while I gawk at it. New price 3 years ago was 15 000 USD. The guy don't want to go lower in price, yet.
Here's a video (not taken by me, nor the seller, just something I found on youtube)
Its a Norwegian site advertising it. http://www.finn.no/finn/torget/anno...gh=true&searchQuery=VIDEOVEGG SAMSUNG 460ux-2
I have made some arguments and counter-arguments between this and a 4 grand self-built 130db two tower stereo, they'd both use heaps of power when in use, less so with the stereo since I can't listen to full volume for long periods at a time (so that's a point to the stereo). A drawback of the stereo which makes a point to the wall, is that I don't go blind from watching too large screens, whereas I do go deaf from listening to a too loud stereo for too long. A point to the wall is that I could throw out most of my ovens and heat the house purely from these, and what a wonderful looking oven these things are (could be a looping video from my favorite view in the world). Another point towards the wall is that when I move in somewhere new, the neighbors are not going to go mental if I drag in nine screens, but nine huge speakers is another matter. A point against both options is that these are two really idiotic things to spend money on, instead I can help further the research into breaking up extracellular aggregates (one of seven aspects of aging). Or the research involved in the WILT program, intended to cure cancer completely. But a point towards the wall is that its shiny. And the stereo gets a point for just being a loud thing that is loud. Decisions decisions.
PS: Not sure what international shipping would be, not actually expecting any of the non-scandinavian people to buy it.
