NewSight Corp. from the US has developed a 3D LED Video Wall that is touted to be one of the largest 3D displays in the world, relying on LEDs as pixels for the first time in human history. This 180" behemoth has a screen width of 3.84m, and according to NewSight, they are able to combine all four displays to turn this into a 360" 3D monster. There is no word on pricing, but you can expect to fork out a handsome amount for it, as the final figure will depend on what your individual order is like. The LEDs themselves are made in China and arranged at a pitch of 6mm in order to function just like pixels located on an LCD panel. The optimal viewing range would be from 5 meters away, although that can be adjusted. Each LED comes with a warranty period of 20,000 hours, and you can opt for LEDs manufactured by other people if that is your cup of tea. No doubt advertisers are rubbing their hands in glee with this new avenue to market their products.
