Las Vegas' dystopia-sphere, powered by 150 Nvidia GPUs and drawing up to 28,000,000 watts, is both a testament to the hubris of humanity and an admittedly impressive technical feat | PC Gamer (www.pcgamer.com)

9.818127340823 should be the pixel density if my numbers are correct.

The numbers i was able to find(please correct if these numbers are not accurate)

160,000 sqft display converted to inches 23040000 sq/inch

16K x 16K resolution equals 15360 pixels x 15360 pixels So thats 235,929,600 pixels

Various Notes.

  • a 55-inch 4K television, which has a pixel density of only 80.11ppi
  • iphone 12 - 360ppi
  • 14,000ppi MicroLED display is world’s densest, only 0.48mm across june 2019 approximately the size of a ladybug

Thank you for confirming this, I'll stick with my 109ppi 27" 1440p 165hz monitor

Not even close to the worst pixel per inch though. That would be probably a drone array in the sky im guessing assuming they could be made to stay perfectly in sync, ppi could be as bad as you wanted it lol. This does make me wonder what the extreme limits of ppi can be and still be usable. You would probably need to be on the moon or in space to be in the ideal viewing position. Having to acount for the limitation of the speed of light to produce the picture on that "display" would be an impressive feat of engineering.

Did you really build a dyson sphere just to build a bigger tv? Yes yes i did

Pixel pitch takes into account viewing distance.

The displays in the sphere are 16K displays. They look insanely better than your monitor from the ideal spot in the venue.

Their display has 64x more pixels than yours.

Silence! I will hear none of this blasphemy! Fallout 76 does not have 16x the detail!
