In July 2012, Microsoft closed the deal to acquire Perceptive Pixel, which makes massive 10-point touchscreen monitors that have been used by businesses and even television networks to display content. At BUILD 2012 last fall, we got a chance to play with an 82-inch touchscreen from the company.
Obviously, owning one of these screens will cost more than the average monitor you can pick up at Best Buy, but let's say you do have the tens of thousands of dollars in cash to bring one of these 82 inch touchscreens home. The natural thing to do is to mount the monitor on your living room or movie room wall. Thankfully, Microsoft has your back with a video of how to place this Perceptive Pixel product on your wall.
The video, uploaded on Microsoft's Office YouTube channel, shows that in order to get that huge screen attached to a wall, workers must first put in brackets on top and on the bottom of the screen even before it comes out of its shipping crate. Then the monitor is lifted (very carefully, we suspect) into the pre-installed wall bracket. Then you simply removes the brackets around the screen and presto; it's done.
For those of you who "just" want to put the 82 inch touch screen on a stand, the Office videos also show people how to do that. There are also video available to show how to mount a 55 inch Perceptive Pixel monitor on a wall or on a stand. Enjoy your "rich person" problems.
