* 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). The TV was also referenced in ''Film/DespicableMe'' as being one of Gru's biggest heists and was often seen at the end of NBC Nightly News broadcasts.

* Used [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU_reTt7Hj4&feature=related here]] when the main character leaves the building there are loads of TV screens everywhere. Clearly a shout-out to ''VideoGame/{{Half-Life 2}}'', where Dr Breen broadcasts messages to the masses via large TV screens dotted around.

** Until May of 2011, the world's largest video screen was at the Dallas Cowboys stadium, at over 25,000 square feet (according to their [[http://stadium.dallascowboys.com/assets/pdf/mediaVideoBoardFactSheet.pdf official publicity]]; TheOtherWiki calls it a 2100" TV.

* ''VideoGame/{{Half-Life 2}}'' has jumbotron screens all over the city. Initially, [[TheDragon Dr Breen]] makes announcements on them, then (after the fall) Dr Kleiner.
** And with ''GarrysMod'', you can put [[http://mrvorhias.deviantart.com/art/Heavy-Weapons-Breen-147411058 whoever you want in the picture]].

* They're everywhere in ''CodeGeass''.

** 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]] currently at Charlotte Motor Speedway. It was finished in May 2011.
** Texas Motor Speedway dethroned the one in Charlotte, with [[http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2013/09/23/nascar-texas-motor-speedway-worlds-largest-video-screen-2014.html a 218 by 94.6 television screen]], nicknamed "Big Hoss". It was finished in time for the April 2014 UsefulNotes/{{NASCAR}} Sprint Cup race at the track.

* They're all over the place in the future Earth of SamuraiJack. 90% have [[BigBad Aku]] endorsing some product or other. How many times is he going to eat that burger!?

* In the Goofy short ''HowToHookUpYourHomeTheater'', Goofy buys a massive set, so big his house has to be lifted up in order to deliver it.

* Too bad for consumers tho, the largest TV available in the market at the moment is a 110" LCD TV from Samsung, topping the former largest, a 108" from Panasonic, by two inches. However, if you take liberties with the word "TV", consumer projector sets can easily project 300" images, and probably bigger with supplementary lenses, location permitting.

* The TropeNamer is Music/WeirdAlYankovic's song "Frank's 2000-Inch TV", which is entirely about his neighbour getting such a huge TV. This is a good thing if you share Frank's taste in viewing material, and incentive to move to another town if you don't.

* In ''Literature/LeftBehind'', a team of computer experts were able to project images onto a screen several stories high for all the people at Petra to watch and read.

* In ''Literature/LookToTheWest'', the optical telegraph system, which usually uses a 3x2 array of black and white shutterboxes, eventually leads to an 18*18 array on the wall of a building in Paris, which can display images.

* The wall-sized TV sets in ''Fahrenheit451''. Definitely portrayed as a negative influence; citizens have gotten so involved in their TV watching that most of them don't really ''care'' that books are banned.
* In FeliksNetINika series, the alternate-reality Polish Empire never invented TVs. Why? Because they project the image on *The Moon* and transmit the sound through megaphones.

* 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.
