Las Vegas' dystopia-sphere, powered by 150 Nvidia GPUs and drawing up to 28,000,000 watts, is both a testament to the hubris of humanity and an admittedly impressive technical feat | PC Gamer (www.pcgamer.com)

Says 16K, where’s the disconnect? (I don’t know display tech)

    Ah, you're right, that's 1.2 megapixel for the exterior, and 132 megapixel for the interior.

    That's a substantial increase, but it's still the equivalent of about 16 4K screens, which absolutely does not need 150 GPUs!

    Edit: No, I was wrong, this entire monstrosity is overengineered to over two gigapixels on the inside, and that's absolutely ridiculous.

    Anything most likely driving factor here?

    Extreme resolution requirements, massive number of LED elements, real-time rendering and synchronization needs, complex content processing, load distribution and redundancy, future-proofing capabilities, fraudulent kickback scheme
