Dubai to build biggest ever LED screen

I can see for miles and miles
HAPPY WITH YOUR 22-inch wide-screen monitor? Be prepared for a huge case of pixel envy.

Dubai-based construction company Tameer is boasting that it's about to build the world's largest LED screen, which will cover the entire 100m x 20m facade of Podium, the latest landmark office block to pop up in the desert Kingdom's Majan district.

Yes... that's a pretty bold statement

You'll be able to see Blade Runner style ads on the gargantuan screen from a mile away, according to the company.

Admittedly, you'd get a very bad crick in your neck trying to watch movies or play games on the thing as it's set up in portrait rather than landscape mode.

And we dread to think how much power it draws, and wouldn't want to be responsible for leaving it in standby mode all night.
