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 New York, 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.
Often used for advertising in the sort of Dystopian future that has a lot of {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s in it.
In RealLife a 2000" TV would be about 80 feet (24.1 meters) high, assuming a 16:9 aspect ratio; the older 4:3 ratio would make it 100 feet (30.5 meters) high.

* Played with in various ways by ''{{Futurama}}'', from the big screen the Planet Express Delivery ship crashes into during the opening credits CouchGag, to the huge LCD digital clock display on clock towers.
** There was a 300 inch screen on board the Planet Express Ship during the events of Into The Wild Green Yonder. It was smashed in frustration after it broadcast an ad for a 30'''1''' inch screen.
*** [[BrickJoke Even later,]] in a blink and you'll miss it gag, they are watching a 308'' television. Only for it to be advertising a 312''.

* On ''{{Jimmy Two-Shoes}}'', several large screens hover over [[CrapsackWorld Miseryville]], which [[TheCaligula Lucius]] uses to address the public.

[[folder:Real Life]]
* Real life example: Many Strip-facing signs/marquees at the newer/better hotels on the Las Vegas Strip include giant TV screens (usually one for each side of the sign), each ''at least'' the size of a Jumbotron, airing looped ads for their shows, restaurants, etc. Much of the Strip exterior of Planet Hollywood consists of giant screens, each airing a different set of ads; Wynn Las Vegas adds the twist that its marquee is taller than it is wide, and the hotel sign travels up and down it to "change" the ads.
* Giant screens are common at stadia and other sports venues. The world's largest video screen is at the Dallas Cowboys stadium, at over 25,000 square feet (according to their [[http://stadium.dallascowboys.com/assets/pdf/mediaVideoBoardFactSheet.pdf official publicity]], that's equivalent to 4,920 52" flat-panel [=TV=]s).
* At times, ''Series/DoctorWho'' has been shown on big screens.
* Giant electronic billboards are becoming more and more common by the day in Los Angeles.
** And in many other cities considering that Mobile, AL has about 20 or so.
* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Picadilly_circus_in_london.jpg Picadilly circus]] in London has multiple neon and video signs covering an entire street.
* The [[http://www.mahoningdrivein.net/ Mahoning Drive-In Theatre]] has a 120 ft wide screen. This is just a tad smaller than a 2000" HDTV screen, which would be 44.3 m (145.3 ft) wide by 24.9 m (81.7 ft) tall, or about twice as wide and tall as an IMAX screen.
* They are building the [[http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/charlotte-motor-speedway-to-get-worlds-largest-hd-video-board-2010-09-24/ world's largest HD video board]] ([[BeyondTheImpossible EVEN BIGGER THAN THE SCREEN AT THE DALLAS COWBOYS STADIUM]]) at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
