Granted the video in center stage is more for the audience, the video wall behind the contestants is really pretty useless. It was more tolerable when it first debut in 1998, but still often left a lot to be desired. I wish they had used the red/yellow/blue graphics from the "An ugly child" and the episode where a contestant chicken squacks "Changing Keys" more often. Still, ever since the set changed to LED lit glass the video wall behind the contestants just showed security cam footage. Surely they could show something better than that. "Scrabble Showdown" has a video wall and they actually put it to good use. Wheel could do the same since they show graphics for The Prize Puzzle and the Final Spin. At the begining of Season 29, it was actually used to display the Prize Puzzle post card graphic, but a few weeks into the season they changed it back to the same old boring shot. Sad because they could do better.

Here's a thought: Why don't they modify the set to have placed in the center of the studio, therefore by getting rid of the 4:3 Monitor. It's been there since 1996.

I think the video wall can still work as long as they display the logo during the game instead of just random scenic stuff.

I agree. The random scenic footage poses as a distraction for the contestants and viewers. That's what I believe

Use it for what they did in the 90s--video of the wheel spinning, the contestant as they were going to commercial, the prizes in the BR, etc. To be honest, they should get rid of theme weeks all together except for a few, such as Family Week, Teen Best Friends Week, a Military-esque week, and Big Money Week.

Now those themes we haven't seen in forever. I think the themes "Family Week", "Teen Week", "Teen Best Friends" and the Military-esque themes should be used if the show decides to go back to using returning champions AND Friday Finals. How does that sound?

They do still show the contestant on the monitor during outros, usually after the last round.
