To an extent. But our current Big Brother status screen is 1048 pixels
high at the moment, which none of the large screens that I've found
support. I'd expect a resolution at least comparable to that used
on a common desktop[1], and ideally much higher. But for some reason,
they don't seem to be commonly available. Being able to display
a lot of status information concurrently is a great assset. Even if
you can't see it all from far away, you can give a top level status
through use of colour, and then come closer to see the detail if
necessary.

[1] I run my desktop at 1920x1400, and I'd expect to be able to do the
    same or better with a large display screen. I'd settle for 1600x1200.
    But even that doesn't seem to be available.
