[QUOTE="marmalade, post: 85907, member: 24709"] Was looking at including some matrix displays in 2017 but am I correct in assuming that for area coverage, they are still overwhelmingly expensive/complicated? As simple calculations go, to cover an area the size of a typical 60" TV (~1400mmx800mm) To cover this area with P10 (320x160) would require 20 (4x5) panels Each panel at $15 = $300 Psus ~$100 Mounting ~$50 Controller + wiring/fuses ~ $100 So about $500 all up (very approximate!) A quick look on gumtree can net a 60" flatscreen' lcd/led for this amount, of course if used outdoors some weatherproofing would be required (and then there's the issue of running 240V mains ) But it would not be as heavy, be more power efficient, and be far clearer. And if one likes the pixel'ed effect of a matrix it would be trivial to trigger downsampled mpgs to play. Aware it's not in the spirit of DIY as well :) Opinions? [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
