If you thought your friend’s big-screen TV was impressive, check out the new video wall at the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, or Calit2. It’s about 23 feet wide and 9 feet high, made up of 50 flat-panel computer monitors working in tandem.

Many other colleges are building similar megadisplays in the name of science, but Calit2 claims its has the highest resolution.
