A four-screen WindowWall retails for $55,000. The basic building block of Runco's WindowWall is a 117-centimetre LCD screen. You can start with two and add any number up to (deep breath) 100 or more. They are grouped by brackets that space the edges of adjoining pictures just 7.3 millimetres apart.

Your wall can show one picture across its entire area, or four separate images, or anything up to 100 and you can toggle between them with the remote control. The idea endeared itself to commercial operations because it can show, say, a sporting event on four screens and constant advertising on a couple more adjoining screens.And in home cinema applications it offers not just a huge screen area (a four-screen wall has the image area of a single 233-centimetre screen) but the ultimate picture-in-picture ability: you could literally be tuned into every channel at once and still have room for DVDs and the internet. So you can watch league, union, AFL and soccer and still tell friends you were tuned into the Sunday afternoon arts program.
