Really cheap commercial LED displays! Can Adelaide use some?

[Howie]

Gizmodo (http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2008/01/cheap ... e-wor.html) website has just reported on a really cheap 132" commercial display... costing around $15,500.. perhaps some developers and/or council can invest in some for their new/existing buildings.

That apparently is a breakthrough price... and pitched more towards public displays like in Times Square.







Picture a few of these side by side, along king william street, and the prominent buildings on north terrace, like on top origin energy, myer etc. It'd go really nicely with Rundle Lantern that's for sure!

Is it at all possible to have an led display, say the entire face of a building?

Absolutely, in fact it's being done all the time in places like NY, Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai etc. Guess you'd run it through a computer and split up the screen into it's various panels.. exactly like how Rundle Lantern works with the Hippolizer software.

The only limits to this technology, are building regulations and imagination.

They have something like this in the recently rennovated beer garden at the highway (corner marion rd and anzac highway)

and because it is LED and this makes it more energy as well as green house efficient compared to other forms of screening panels right?

I wish we'd get with the times. Imagine Westpac house wrapped in an LED Christmas tree on one side, Santa on the other and an Angle or some other christmasy thing on the third face.
