It made sense at the time, but upon further reflection, this is definitely a better place for it.
Also, I admit I was confused about how it worked, which is unfortunate. I will be extremely excited when the technology I did describe is developed and released.
Sad face

I think that technology might be far from getting into our homes though, right now the only reason it works in big stadiums is because you're looking at it from a large distance so everything appears to be one continuous picture. If you get close enough, you can see the individual LEDs and it wouldn't look good at all.
These cutting-edge TVs use LEDs as their primary light source, rather than traditional Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (CCFL).
I know in HUGE HDTV's (think new one in Kaufman Stadium) can use LED's as their pixels, but that's only b/c the massive viewing distance blurs them together to look like 1 pixel.
<sidenote + rant> I was in cpe210 yesterday and some 213 students kept calling LED's: leds (like the metal, lead). It was annoying to no end.
SC, we're gonna have to start taking away from your post count and/or riding your bus to make you life a living hell if you can't shape up and start reading and shit. Shit being the most important part. done & done.

Kaufman Stadium's Jumbo-Tron cannot fit in my living room, so it doesn't count. The technology I described is not available for home/personal use. I read the post, I know it existed. They used 2 very similar displays at Rocklahoma last summer, and the audience walkways went right up to them so I could get a really good look. But when a giant display uses LED's the size of small light bulbs mounted on a black plastic panel that is sectioned together into a 9'x6' "screen," I wouldn't call that the same thing. For this TV, I honestly thought that they had managed to shrink the size of the LED's enough to put 3 of them in the surface area equivalent to one pixel (which is the primary reason I was excited about the release. LED's that small have many more possibilities than just a TV. I've got several ideas of my own).
