Is the Popmart screen still the largest ever build?
« on: August 05, 2012, 08:34:20 AM »
The resolution of the screen might not be up-to-date, but in overal size I was wondering if there has ever been a larger screen that the one used in Popmart. Anyone?

According to THIS article it is 700 Square Meters.

I think it was at the time. Not too sure if it still is. I'm sure a quick google search could help.

If the 360 Screen counts, wouldn't it be bigger?

That article is from 1997 that is 14 years old! My question is:

Is it STILL the largest?

The PopMart screen still looks bigger than these other screens.
