Many years ago I helped set up a comparison of Jumbo sized video displays
in a 20K seat basketball arena.  One of the competitors used a 3-LED
mini-PCB for each pixel of the screen, approx 5/8" square, with RGB only.
Once it was hoisted up to the scoreboard position above center court,
it looked like a normal TV picture to me.  This was a long time ago, and
those LEDs were much more primitive than what you have today.
