So which is it? 56,000 or 5,600 square feet?? Obviously it's 5600, but what's with the type-o on the DesignTechnica site?

And 79x71 inches, what ratio is that? 1.11 is pretty square, I wonder what the real nitty gritty specs are.

Still doesn't beat Frank's 2000-inch TV (http://www.alsongs.com/index.cfm?view=alsong&amp;songnumber=84) (sorry, since I was being nerdy, I threw in a Weird Al reference)
