So I have been considering building a custom game table with one of the large printed maps like IL’s Supreme map.  I saw a video on Youtube (I can’t post links - search “Board game table TV”) and had an idea… could possibly be a terrible idea, but I wanted to know if anyone has considered this or not?

That table has an insert for a TV for playing DD.  I was recently shopping for TV’s and was shocked at how cheap they were compared to a few years ago.  A 55" 4K UHD TV was running aroun $400 and I figure a lower name brand could be had for around $300.  I wondered if the table could be built around a 4K UHD TV and then the high res map be loaded into the TV to play.  The advantage would be you could change maps fairly easily and you could also change it for maps from other games as well.  So for basically a similar price to printing one large scale map at $300 you could have unlimited map options.

I thought of possible burn in but  possible solution would be to somehow have the map image change slightly like a light wave or every five minutes have it change for ten seconds.

Is this a ridiculous idea or would something like this be possible?
