I agree 100% with @merryoncherry. I added a 42 panel P5 matrix a few years ago. People just stand there and stare at it. Much more to look at than the matrix..

The largest matrix on the far right is the 84x42 Monster Matrix with 1.125" spacing. The smaller ones were P10's back then. Not all video looked that good on it, probably because it was a cartoon.

Agree with @merryoncherry. I had a Boscoyo 84x42 Monster matrix with 1.125" spacing for a few years, been collecting dust in the garage the last couple of years. 100x50 would be very effective for effects and text, video not so much. Video from 2018 Baby Shark. On the fence to the right of...

No seed pixels here, have enough problems without looking for them. 40K+ nodes 4-9 seasons on them with less than 5 bad pixels a year. Too early too know on seeds but based upon pics of them I wouldn't touch them

Thats crazy.. pushed WAY more than 1,000 pixels in day with nothing like that. No pliers or gloves etc, no blisters. I do have heavy callused "Man Hands" :)

Welcome to ACL. Don't think you'll find too many LOR users around here but worth a shot. Haven't used LOR since 2014 here, best of luck! Lots of xLights gurus on here that might have some input

I used LOR until I found ACL almost a decade ago now.. As others have said, think outside of the LOR universe . You'll regret buying a pixie in the future. xLights doest care what controller you use.

Personally not a fan of monetizing a display. A donation box is the best in my opinion even if for charity. We no longer accept any donations of any kind which has upset a few people.

Welcome to ACL! Also from the Central Coast California. My display will be coming down over the next couple weeks. Feel free to reach out if you want to take a look at the madness before it comes down. I also have a ton of stuff of I need to gid rid of..

General rule is 2:1 on height vs base. 5m tree the base will be ~2.5m. Like everything in this hobby people have different preferences and opinions. I prefer a small topper and use the 2:1 on my tree. No right or wrong, build the tree how you want
