I think you're a little confused(or high). 15", 17", and 19" screens are what most people have. Even if he's talking TV's that's pretty big.
Do they even make a 400" screen?
As for the thread itself, while I understood the satirical nature of it, and found it mildly amusing. I don't think it was really necessary due to the fact that, even though it was in jest, it's still another "Can I Run H2V" thread. Maybe I missed the punchline somewhere, but joking about the issue, while doing nothing to help solve it, just isn't that humorous.
For all those legitimately wishing to know if thier computers can run Vista or Halo 2 Vista, please refer to this thread: The Official Halo 2 Vista "Will It Run?" Thread
FireHentz was playing in with the joke, Obi Wan, just like the others who say 400TB isn't enough.
This isn't joking. It's called satire. It's taking something that's very serious and just making it blatantly obvious that you are showing how idiotic the issue is in hopes of others who do this idiotic act realize they shouldn't. A great satirical novel is Brave New World or Slaughterhouse Five. Both deal with real-world issues but show in the long wrong what's so stupid about what's going on in the books.
For another example, take The Producers. They planned on scoring cash on a flop musical that nobody would like. Well, what better way to do such a thing then to bring Hitler into the equation? Except in the end of it the person who was playing Hitler was flamboyant, thus the audience believes that the musical is a satire against Hitler, thus making it funny and having a point at the same time. Of course, that's not what the producers were aiming for... ; )
