Why does Prince T'Challa have a 6-sided TV in "Black Panther"?
Early in Black Panther, Prince T'Challa is shown in a control room, watching the regular news on a TV that has 6 sides instead of being rectangular. This is a mock-up of what I mean:
Is there any logic in the movie that makes a 6-sided TV screen make sense? Or is this just the rule of cool?
Best Answer
Considering the level of tech that Wakanda possesses in the film, it's reasonable to assume that they invented the television screen well before the rest of the world.
For whatever reason, they opted for a hexagonal shape rather than rectangular. The only reason we're used to one over the other is that all our screens are like that.

I got curious about this when we saw young Erik, who looked about 7/8 in 1992, which would make him 31/32 in the film. Now, during Civil War, partly because Chadwick looks pretty damn good for his age and partly because of T'Challa's.....What race is Challa?

Answer 2
The television have 6 sides because the movie wanted to present the viewer with the technological development of the Wakanada, but in a different style.
