128px-Television.svgRemember "Total Recall", the sci-fi movie from 1990?  Great movie, Arnie was at the peak of his action hero era, Sharon Stone was Hot, Michael Ironside was bad, lot's of gratuitous violence.

yeah...coool.

Well the opening scene had Sharon and Arnie eating breakfast and the entire wall of their dining area was a television.  They turned on and off parts of it.  Now it's a television, now it's a tranquil screensaver (wallsaver?).

Well Sony is just about to come out with an ultra thin TV.

The next generation television has a screen with a thickness of just three millimeters (0.12 inches), which was made possible because the organic display is self-luminescent and does not require a backlighting.

So...less than a quarter inch thick.  You could tile your wall with these things and voila', life imitates art.  Of course they're like $2000 per right now, but that price will come down.

Oh...ok, only because you asked.  CHICK FIGHT!
