To show endless repeats of 1970s films

Too little, too late, for those of us who grew up on stories with rooms
with ceiling-to-floor video on the wall - or all 4 walls. And there's
still far too few pixels. I want to be able to walk to the wall and
"look out" (in terms of resolution) as if I were looking out a window.

They can even sell them as "green" 'cos it'd make living underground
more bearable

would be good for viewing your photos on though at something approaching
their true resolution.

You mean with a small area of central vision that has very high
resolution and the rest as low res, barely perceivable shadows? Because
that's what your eyes give you.

Don't be daft. You need high resolution all across the wall else you
couldn't peek round the edge of the net curtains.

Yes, but in reality they'd save bandwidth by using eyeball tracking to
steer the high resolution to whatever part of the image we were
looking at. Inevitably this would put the sound out of sync by
variable amounts, but by then we'd be used to it and nobody would
care.

Perhaps we will evolve to have temporal adaptivity between our
temples.
