Chongqing Grand Theatre[edit]

The Chongqing Grand Theatre certainly belongs on this list, but I can't find any specific details about the video screen on its facade. Perhaps this information is available on the Chinese internet? XTDVM (talk) 05:31, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Precision and Accuracy[edit]

I noticed some screens were listed with four decimal places of precision, which is neither pretty nor useful. I cut them back to one, but a case could be made for 0. Some of the numbers didn't match the source, I've corrected the ones I saw. It seems like both issues could be caused by round-trip conversion between feet and meters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.109.123.216 (talk) 16:41, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ryugyong "Hotel"[edit]

While I am not a fan of North Korea, it seems likely the Ryugyong Hotel is the world's largest screen at 105 stories? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-12-30/world-tallest-empty-hotel-lit-up-with-north-korean-propaganda/10674254

Weird that they haven't been publicizing it as such...given the whole purpose of the (still abandoned) building was to break records (it never opened so was never the largest hotel, but it IS the largest abandoned structure). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolverinechris2 (talk • contribs) 10:09, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]


U2 Joshua Tree tour screen[edit]

I'm still looking for a better link but the U2 Joshua Tree 2017 screen seems to be 200 x 45 ft. link. I was there last night and that seems about right. 9000 ft squared puts it pretty high on the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hujiao (talk • contribs) 05:46, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This page is really about listing fixed installations, rather than concert touring and other temporary screens. U2 can certainly be considered as pioneers in live event LED screens, having effectively funded the building of an LED mesh screen (about 150ft x 50ft) in the mid 1990s for the PopMart Tour, when such screens weren't yet being made by display manufacturers. So while large and high resolution, it's not a suitable entry for this page I'm afraid. Techspert (talk) 14:19, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]


Bolshoy Ice Dome in Sochi, Russia[edit]

The Bolshoy dome in the olympic park in Sochi reportedly has a surface area of 26,000 square meters covered in LEDs "capable of displaying any images". This includes full motion video. Would it qualify to this list?

Sanya Island Ranking[edit]

I changed the ranking because there is not information about actual dimensions. The 33,000 meter figure is based on a system that spreads over seven buildings in the island, but there is not any detail about actual square meter dimensions that can be used for comparison. The tallest building is 200m tall, but it has an opening in the middle. The smaller buildings are half the height of the tallest. Link Assuming each had the same linear measurement (I could not find any mention anywhere of installed meters by building), each screen would have 4744m long. Using the same criteria, the AC screen would have 170x40=6800 linear meters (2 lines per meter).

Apparently the editor has a close connection with Daktronics and may provide better data to back up the claim.

Fremont Street[edit]

How come that huge screen spanning over Fremont Street (Las Vegas) isn't on the list? 144.32.60.216 (talk) 14:57, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It was added sometime after your post. Frmorrison (talk) 19:06, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

55 largest?[edit]

Stadiums are being renovated constantly, new displays getting bigger and bigger. Shouldn't this list be cut to the top 50? Also I believe Kyle Field will have a new one that should crack the top 20 being installed now.Littlekelv (talk) 22:35, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The list is longer than 50, but I think it is fine as-is. I added Kyle Field's new screen and it is number 20 (shown as 19.5 because I don't feel like renumbering everything after it). Frmorrison (talk) 19:06, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Colossus at Bristol Motor Speedway[edit]

Where should Colossus, the new center-hung video board at Bristol Motor Speedway, rank on this list? It has four screens, each 29.5 feet (9.0 m) high and 62.9 feet (19.2 m) wide. Their total area is 7422 ft2, which would place it at #38. Additionally, it has a lower viewing ring that is 6 feet (1.8 m) high and 189 feet (58 m) in circumference for another 961 ft2 of screen area. Including this gives a total area of 8383 ft2 and would place it at #31. I don't know the criteria, so I won't attempt to insert it into the list. Waz8:T-C-E 03:09, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think the idea is that a video screen is a single canvas or face, which can be seen in its entirety by a viewer, and it's possible to display a single image or full-motion video across it. Therefore the classic stadium centre cube with a screen on each of the 4 sides would be counted as 4 individual screens, rather than one big one. Each screen in the Bristol Motor Speedway installation would have an area of 1855.6 ft2, and so wouldn't make it into this list. Techspert (talk) 11:35, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That makes sense. By the way, I believe the current #69 screen listed as Bristol Motor Speedway is really at Neyland Stadium of the University of Tennessee. That's what the references indicate. Maybe someone was confused by the Vols recent game against the Hokies at the speedway and thought it was their home field? Waz8:T-C-E 03:58, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Metric and American Customary Units[edit]

The dimensions are sometimes given like this: American (Metric), sometimes like this: Metric (American). For the sake of reflecting a global perspective, perhaps they should all be in the latter format? I can see including the old-fashioned unit, for the sake of American readers, but surely priority should go to the units used by the other 96% of people in the world? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.200.149.35 (talk) 21:58, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Adidas Brand Center[edit]

I think the Adidas Brand Center Screen is missing. It should come in at rank 95 or 96.

https://panasonic.net/cns/projector/casestudies/016.html

The screen is 106m x 3.5m = 371m^2

It used to be the widest projection screen in the world when it was initially installed. PabloGS (talk) 22:53, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

JMA (formerly) Carrier Dome?[edit]

At 7,022 square feet, it is the third-largest indoor centerhung system in the United States without a retractable roof, indoor-outdoor stadium and fourth-largest indoor centerhung system in North America.

Six additional end zone displays were also installed at the Carrier Dome bringing the total to more than 9,300 square feet for the entire project.

The four main displays of the centerhung feature an inward curvature and measure approximately 20 feet high by 62.5 feet wide. At each corner of the centerhung, displays measure roughly 20 feet high by 9.5 feet wide. On the underbelly, a ring display measures roughly 6.5 feet high and stretches around the inside of the centerhung totaling 216.5 feet long. Lindros2 (talk) 03:33, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gillette Stadium[edit]

This stadium is on the list but has since been renovated to include a much larger video board. This is reflected on the Stadium's wikipedia page but is not on this page.

From the wikipedia: The renovations include a new 22,000 square-foot outdoor video board to be installed at the north end, the largest video board of its kind in the United States.

This board is 370x60 foot board. Largest outdoor video board in the United States.

not a wikipedia editor so i don't really know how to fix this but wanted to point it out. 108.20.137.216 (talk) 22:48, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
