Mercedes-Benz shows off its massive Hyperscreen display for EQS luxury EV

Touch-based infotainment displays are quite common these days, but we're confident that there aren't many of them that feature as gigantic a display as the new Mercedes-Benz MBUX Hyperscreen. This massive 56-inch display is built specifically for the EQS luxury electric vehicle. It features the automaker's second-generation MBUX infotainment system, which no longer has physical buttons as the system relies on touch- and voice-controlled interface.

Technically, Hyperscreen isn't one giant screen, but several OLED panels embedded into a piece of curved glass that spans most of the EQS' dash. It is covered by anti-reflective Gorilla Glass with auto-brightness adjustment courtesy of a camera and light sensor, making sure you don't get distracted by it when you drive at night. It has a total of 12 actuators beneath its touch-sensitive surface for haptic feedback and analogue air vents embedded in the surface at either end.
