http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/mg63961.jpg Remember the wall that was also a television in Total Recall? That’s the inspiration behind Surfaces – a concept device produced by British cable mavens NDS. Abandoning the idea of a single screen, the company mounted six displays into a wall that offers up TV and internet content when on, and blends into your wallpaper when off. The setup will even control your room’s lighting for those particularly emotive X Factor](Yamaha's singing keyboard makes X Factor even more redundant (video)) performances and you control the whole thing with your iPad (while tweeting, *****ily about the show). However, before you storm the company’s Staines headquarters looking to buy one, there are a few obstacles you should know about. Firstly, this amazing setup cost over $30,000 and secondly, it only really works if you’ve got plenty of content filmed in 4K – but don’t worry, Peter Jackson’s working on it.
