Following on from Adrian’s #CurmudgeonFriday tweet on PR agencies NOT fact checking – and indeed manufacturers who should know better, Ed before announcing the world’s largest (LED) video screen, we see that the Wikipedia entry listing the largest screens has been updated.
In the main, they’re largely big LED installs in sports arenas but the list is topped by three huge street-long LED roof canopies. The most well-known of these is the Freemont Street experience in Las Vegas, now about 10 years old. Less well-known are the first and third entries which are more recent and higher resolution versions installed in Suzhou and Beijing, China.
There are some ad based (DOOH) screens in the list, the largest of which at number 11 is judges favourite Harmon Corner screen in Las Vegas.
This is closely followed by a recent install from earlier this year (shown below), which is curved around two sides of a building facing the traffic of the Third Ring Road in Moscow.
It’s not as high resolution as Harmon Corner, but enormous and impressive nonetheless.

When it comes to the whole thing with large video boards, Daktronics is not stating that it has the largest video board in the world. It is stating it has the largest HD video board out there. Which, according to the list on wikipedia, it is the HIGHEST on that list with HD listed in it’s pixel spacing.
