Often used for advertising in the sort of Dystopian future that has a lot of {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s in it. In a particularly bad one, it could also be used so that BigBrotherIsWatchingYou.

Frank's 2000" TV. Still a relatively uncommon sight, but starting to gain in popularity as larger and larger screens are possible. This is really little more than a giant television, usually on the side of a building. There's one in Times Square in UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity, at least one in Tokyo, and often their slightly smaller cousins are present in {{Elaborate Underground Base}}s. Jumbotrons are a close, but comparatively tiny, relative.

* The huge screen from which the Chancellor addresses his top lieutenants in the movie version of ''Film/VForVendetta''.
* Seen in Times Square during the World Unity Festival in the first ''Film/SpiderMan1'' movie. This is actually a real life example, as there really is a large television in Times Square (owned by NBC and typically running their programming).

* ''WesternAnimation/WallE''[='s=] Buy n Large corp has giant hologram ads ''everywhere'', including the moon.
