Apparently, multiplying the number of TV screens multiplies the oppressive factor of whatever scene they're in. If there's Orwellian surveillance at work, the cameras will feed to a room carpeted from ceiling to floor by screens. Hard to keep track of? Bah! It's ominous. If the Evil Overlord is hijacking the airwaves for a broadcast, we will see it played in Times Square or some decent approximation, or he's hardly an Evil Overlord at all. If the computer system is maimed, chances are the owners will have conveniently filled their headquarters with screens, just so that they know how screwed they are. Perhaps we're just that fond of variety in television. Compare Do Not Adjust Your Set where the villain uses everyone else's screens. Also compare The Big Board, which is just one gigundous screen. Overlaps with Storefront Television Display if displayed on a storefront window. See also Ominous Television when it's just one TV. |

In Watchmen, this trope is used to demonstrate Ozymandias' superhuman intelligence: he can pay attention to all those screens at once. Ozymandias claims to see oncoming war from the vibes he picks up from the images, so the pictures take on a second dark significance. | |

Kingdom Hearts II: The Dark City has one landmark that stands out: a tall building topped with a cluster of warped television screens of various sizes. Strangely, nothing is actually displayed on the screens at any time, and the building itself is only important because some important scenes just happen to occur around it. Additionally, DIZ has computers that control the virtual Twilight Town. Roxas seems to enjoy destroying those. | |

In the second season of the horror anthology The Hunger, narrator Julian Priest, a Mad Artist who inhabits an old prison, can monitor the comings and goings of others in his domain via the security system with its many television monitors. Some of the opening and closing sequences feature him using the screens to illustrate his points. It's worth nothing that Julian is played by David Bowie, whose first major dramatic role was as Thomas Jerome Newton in The Man Who Fell to Earth (see Film above), so this might be an Actor Allusion. | |

Half-Life 2: Quite common for the Combine, whose basic monitors start out as irregularly-shaped multi-display monstrosities and only get more baroque from there. Unfortunately, since the engine can only render from one camera at a time, they always end up showing the same thing. They all show the same thing, but by God are they determined to show whatever the hell it is. Of course, once you hit The Citadel, they exaggerate it. | |

Spike never confronts the bounty in the Cowboy Bebop episode "Brain Scratch" directly. Instead, he only manages to find a trap room full of TVs and succumbs to some kind of ultrasound attack after a face on those TVs monologues at him for a bit. Luckily, Jet and Ed have already discovered where the villain was broadcasting from and manage to stop him before he can finish Spike off. | |

Gendo Ikari in Neon Genesis Evangelion uses a lot of screens that mostly show the same picture (note especially the first episode). Actually, NERV in general seems to be outfitted with these redundant displays all over the place. They aren't even the villains; they just like feeling oppressive. | |

While his face is visible on screen, attacks against the monitors break them and deal damage to him. By the end of the phase, all the screens are broken, either through damage or the explosions that occur after defeating him. | |

Superman: In a goody-two-shoes version of this trope, Superman has been shown to have a room that resembles an empty missile silo filled from top to bottom with screens showing every news report from around the world at once.

SaGa Frontier: Genocide Heart, the last boss of T260G's quest, is a supercomputer who fights in a room full of display screens. These screens act as its Life Meter: as it is damaged, more screens fizzle out and show static. During Red's quest, you fight a boss in front of a bank of screens displaying an Idol Singer (who is actually a Black X operative). The screens change what they display each round, and the party is hit with different effects depending what's on the screens. |

Probably a Shout-Out to Ozymandius, except that Jeremiah admits they're mostly for effect: he's a centuries-old immortal and nothing on the news is likely to surprise him, but the display intimidates potential business rivals by making him appear brilliant and informed. | |

One of the TVs is snowed out; it gets zoomed into and displays the last couple credits.

Chrono Trigger: The Mother Brain boss fights with three screens that heal her every round. You can actually target them and take them out, but it makes her go berserk and become nearly impossible to defeat. The trick is either to leave one screen alone and kill the other two, which reduces the healing but leaves her beatable, or to bring along the otherwise-worthless Lucca, whose almost-worthless Hypnowave attack is 100% effective against the screens. | |

In The Matrix Reloaded, the Architect's chamber is filled wall-to-wall with screens showing Neo. The implication is that they are all of the different choices which Neo could be making at this particular moment, choice being the one fundamental flaw in the programming of the Matrix that allows the One to keep popping up, despite the Machines' best efforts to prevent it. It's also used for surveillance so that he can see anywhere in the Matrix at any given time, be it past or near future, which actually makes sense. Often, the screens work together to form a bigger image. | |

12 Monkeys: In the futuristic dystopia, James Cole is questioned and briefed by the panel of scientists while strapped to a Shackle Seat Trap as a sinister globe holding a confusing array of cameras, microphones and video screens is held in front of his face. When Cole and Dr. Railly see a news program identifying them as wanted fugitives, they have an Oh, Crap! moment on realizing that a camera in a nearby video equipment store is projecting their faces on a huge multiple screen. |

Mekakucity Actors: When Hibiya uses his powers to find the Big Bad's lair, the first thing he notes is "a wall of TV screens". They're implied to represent the multiple time loops experienced by the cast. | |

Total Distortion: Two hallways in the Distortion Dimension are covered wall-to-wall in monitors that show a video that negatively affects your health if you walk through them. You have to upload a better video to the hall's control panel to get by safely. | |

Broken Saints: While Rami certainly has a lot of monitors for his computer, they aren't so much ominous as helping sell his hacking expertise. Well, at least before he gets a message. The Omniscient Council of Vagueness gather in a room filled with screens like this. The final confrontation takes place in a room with a lot of monitors. Especially disturbing are those on the life sized crucifix. |

A non-ominous example; the Muppet control room on The Jim Henson Hour consisted of hundreds and hundreds of TV screens. This made sense, as the idea was that Kermit the Frog assembled the show by tuning into every television feed in the universe and picking the best stuff. This being the Muppets, characters could also get flung out of screens and into the control room itself. | |

The Matrix: In The Matrix, multiple screens show Neo in the interrogation room before the camera zooms in on one screen, which becomes the actual scene itself as the Agents walk in. This effect is used and reversed multiple times in the Neo/Architect sequence below. In The Matrix Reloaded, the Architect's chamber is filled wall-to-wall with screens showing Neo. The implication is that they are all of the different choices which Neo could be making at this particular moment, choice being the one fundamental flaw in the programming of the Matrix that allows the One to keep popping up, despite the Machines' best efforts to prevent it. It's also used for surveillance so that he can see anywhere in the Matrix at any given time, be it past or near future, which actually makes sense. Often, the screens work together to form a bigger image. |
