I remember seeing a movie or TV show where someone, possibly in the
future, is watching something like 100 TV screens at the same time (as
if it were the normal way to watch TV), or perhaps it was one huge
screen with 100's of video windows.  I want to get ahold of a visual
(just an online photo).  This is definitely not "Minority Report" I am
thinking of, but any similar movie/TV image depicting this situation is just
fine.

Thanks  BTTF-2 is not exactly what I was envisioning  (in that
scenario - he really was looking at one screen with a mosasic .. that
actually can be found on many modern TV navigations today).   I am
looking more for someone looking at a huge "wall" of individual
screens - and even better if the photo were "stylized" or enhanced to
show the effect of all these shows competing for that viewer's
attention

In a way - think of the NORAD scene out of War Games.  Except hundreds
of TV screens  (think: War Games meets Minority Report)

Funny - in real-life, this sort of exists now: At most cable
operations centers and satellite centers.   But I am looking for one
or more photo stills which I am pretty sure can be found from a movie
or TV show.

You may be familiar with Helmut Bakaitis character, "The Architect",
in The Matrix Reloaded. He sits surrounded by many televion screens.
 
Let me know if these pics work for you:

I am merely interested in the image because I am prepping a powerpoint
presentation, and had this image in mind to make a particular point.  
 "The Matrix" image is close - though the image that I had in mind,
the viewer's attention was focused on the TVs, not someone else.

Hi,

   There's a scene in "Back To The Future II" in which Marty McFly Jr.
comes home (in the year 2015) to watch some TV. He plops down in the
entertainment room, switches on the wall sized TV, and directs it to
simultaneously display a very large number of cable-type channels,
each in its own window.

   His dad, Marty Sr, arrives home from work, enters the room with Jr.
inside, and remarks "Watching a little TV for a change?"

Are you mainly interested in procuring an image such as you describe
for reference in regards to another project of yours?
