Who needs the cinema when you have the world's biggest TV?
Thanks to YouTube, we've seen plenty of oversized tech demonstrations, from creating the world's largest functional iPhone to content creators documenting impressive natural phenomena like the world's largest iceberg.
The speed of tech advancement is pretty wild when you think about it.
Today's iPhone 17 Pro can capture clear images of landmarks around 18 km away, while PlayStation 5 graphics have reached levels that would've blown people's minds three decades ago.

So, just exactly how big is the world's largest TV? Take a look for yourself!
YouTuber Linus Tech Tips purchased a ‘monster of a TV,' measuring a whopping 116 inches.
He was pumped to be one of the first people to check this thing out, but the excitement wore off pretty quickly when he realised he actually had to get it from the delivery truck into his house.
The Hisense 116UX offers 8,000-nits peak brightness and the 'world’s first RGB MiniLED backlight.'
That sounds fancy, right? It should be for $25,000.
The packaging alone was insane, Linus said it had the thickest foam he'd ever seen, and the box was so sturdy he could've used it as a dining table.
With the help of his friends, Linus moved the TV into an optimal spot in his house.
The screen was so tall that one of his friends had to stand on his tiptoes just to peek over the top.
Once Linus actually sat down to test it out, safe to say, he was won over.
“There’s a strong possibility I’ll keep this TV,” the YouTuber declared, firing up Disney’s Encanto.
As you can imagine, the colours were incredibly vibrant, and even tiny details like the fabric on characters' clothes looked crystal clear.
“The [RGB backlight means] more colour saturation, more colour volume,” Linus explained.
Testing out the graphics and sound, Linus put on Terminator 2: Judgement Day. He immediately noticed that the TV wasn't 'overcooking' anything and that everything 'looks like it's supposed to look.'
When it came to gaming, Linus found the performance decent but not mind-blowing, noting some problems with 'pixel response times' that held it back.
At the end of the video, the tech expert performed a quick check for 'dead pixels' across the enormous screen and didn't find any.
In the YouTube comments, viewers couldn't get over how much the TV cost.
"Bro what, it's more expensive than my brand new toyota wtf," one user wrote.
"i thought my 56 inch tv was big until this," another viewer added.
"I think at this size I would just get a projector," someone else remarked.
