JVC puts up 1st HD display in Times Square, NY
Gizmos for Geeks —
In NYC this holiday season? Then check out JVC’s brand new 720p high def billboard display. The screen with its 1.2 million LEDs has a mere 8mm pixel pitch (space between the pixels), and measures 34′ and 19′. At a resolution of 1280×720, that means each pixel measures approximately 1/3″ wide.
Head to Times Square, would ya and let us know if this thing is as clear as we’re imagining it is.
