Hi all,
Just playing around with an idea for an indoor art piece. I'm a fan of 8-bit art (who isn't ), and instead of printing and hanging on the wall, I'v been toying around with a large matrix display.
I'm thinking 256x384 pixels (the image above, by Waneella, is similar at 270x405) - this is 24 times 64x64 panels, 4 wide, 6 high (similar to these). It'd be around 0.8m x 1.6m all up.
I currently have two main issues with this:
Any advice on alternative displays? I really want to build something from large individual pixels rather than wham a monitor on the wall and call it done, but I also don't want it too bright or power hungry.
Cheers,
Peter

I currently have two main issues with this:
- Power consumption. Looks like it'll be consuming around 400-500W. Eek!
- Brightness. I think it'll turn my living room into an airport runway.
