Ha! From the title, I thought you meant the kind of wallpaper that would go in the living room and cause a divorce!

Looks like what you'd get if you tried loading a Spectrum game on one of those huge LED advertising displays.

As of last year, I own a 4K resolution television (and a 4K professional camcorder). I don't watch much in 4K as there's very little content (Stranger Things, a few YouTube videos from retrogamer ChinnyVision).

Anyway, this got me thinking about how many Spectrum screens (256 * 192 - yes, that does exclude a border) you can fit into the 4K resolution.

The answer is 165 (15 columns and 11 rows).

Presumably there is a way to set that up on a PC then get it Chromecast'd to a 4K screen.

(By the way, it's just 35 Speccies for a full HD screen.)
