How big are tv's gonna be in the future?

Your logic is impeccable. Thanks for saving me from the Internet bullie. 🙁

A TV or rather a projector can be as big as you want right now. Mass produced TV's can only be so big since they must be able to get inside a house and also fit in a room so it's unlikely there will ever be a mainstream television bigger than 100 inches. I think the biggest is a 103 inch made by Panasonic but it's just a one off to show they can do it and will probably never make it in to any stores.

Any one who wants a mini cinema in there home will go for a HD projector and it will stay that way until some thing usurps that.

You're welcome.

I don't like bullies or the "compensating" cop-out. disgust

Obviously you're compensating too, ha.

ZOMG!

I have no clue who the Scribe is, but there's no way he can't be a sock. He "knows" too much.

And he also spelled it 'You're..." in his post. Not an idiot, either.

I've been here too long to be a "sock." (2004)
I don't know why anyone would think that. disgust

You're, you are

There, their, they're... I like "they are" better than they're.

😱

I have a friend who has one of those 100 inchers. I was playing Ghostbusters and Left 4 dead on that big biitch the other day. 100 inches is to big for me.

I think in the future we will no longer have t.v screens. We will be watching movies through holographic technology. Spielberg and Cameron are working on it, so you know it's going to happen.

At some point, it won't be a matter of how big the screen is, but how well the technology "pulls you into" the scene (ie, TV --> VV: Virtual Vision).

I assume they'll be as big as cinema screens, unless there is/will be some law permitting them to be, and if so, probably big enough to have a foot wide border around the TV, which would be the edge of the wall in your TV room.

Large-screen consumer TVs of the future would probably be delivered in components and assembled at home. Then you could have a TV wall like in Fahrenheit 451.

Honestly, I see it going the other way. Super high def handhelds (that are also computers) as opposed to unitary units people sit around and watch.

I never mentioned the handheld units. Perhaps the unitary (if consumer) TVs would be like those I mentioned; handheld, HD units would be used for traveling.

There will still be a sizeable market for unitary units unless we suddenly become nomads all at once.

I tend to disagree

I see the whole "getting together in a room and doing something to be social" as evaporating quickly. Facebook, forums, stuff like that, is changing what it means to even be social.

I hear where you are coming from, and I guess there will always be big TVs, but 20 years from now, I'd almost bet it is more common to see people together watching individual TVs rather than what we have now. I see gaming also as being a huge driving force for this.

Handheld units and fixed-location TVs would appeal to different market niches, that much is true.

well, lets wait 20 years, and if thats true, I'll buy you a beer 😉

You seem to be getting closer to the truth - once again, with technology, the rule seems to be the smaller the better...

Contact Lens Display System
Written by Chris Hunter

The field of display technology has seen some impressive announcements recently, but this one tops the charts for this crew. The University of Washington has implemented microscopic manufacturing or self-assembly (capillary forces) to make a new kind of hybrid contact. This contact has a microscopic imprinted circuit with light emitting capabilities. This kind of breakthrough opens the door to a host of possible applications, including HUD overlays and immersive displays.

Keep an eye on the TV - with the TV in your eye

By Fiona Macrae

It sounds like science fiction - contact lenses that transmit TV shows and tattoos that let us feel the emotions of the actors on screen.

Yet experts believe both could be reality within ten years.

They say the constant miniaturisation of technology will lead to TV sets being shrunk to the size of contact lenses and powered by body heat.

The liberal media will never take my steam powered TV from me!
