What’s a video wall? According to the Wikipedia:

A video wall consists of multiple computer monitors, video projectors, or television sets tiled together contiguously or overlapped in order to form one large screen

You must have seen this setup in a conference, exhibition, entreprises, or you may even have one already. The biggest advantage for a video wall is that you can see the video clearly from a distant, not to mention the experience of watching it in your living room (assuming you back it up with a great sound system, of course).

Now, setting a video wall up may not be as easy as it may seem – it requires a few things to set-up such as the LCDs (obviously), a Video Wall Controller (you don’t want the screens to display the same thing, right?), and a software to say the least. Simple arrangements can be done mostly via your multi-monitor video cards but once you have more than 10 displays to manage, it’s just easier and more effective to get a proper software for it.

You also need a technician to set these all up because it’s not as easy as following a user manual or a step-by-step guide.

These video controllers (I got the information from cinemassivedisplays.com) have their own processing “equipments” (multi cores, memory, hard drives, etc) to process and control the input/output display to these massive LCD set-up.

Though of course, unless if you have a massive room or running a U.S private defense contractor company or something, you may not need these crazy set-ups for home. Nevertheless, having a video wall with a few LCD screens sounds great, doesn’t it? Imagine watching an epic movie on these, it’d be awesome to watch and experience!

Do you have any of these video walls set-up at home? Probably not with 10 or 20 screens, but even with just 6? Let us know of your experience and whether it’s worth to have it for a home cinematic experience?
