At the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington Thursday, the Cowboys turned on the world's two largest high-definition LED video displays, each 160 feet wide and 72 feet high.
The two video boards from Mitsubishi Electrics consists of four Diamond Vision™ video displays, with the two main sideline displays measuring 72 feet high by 160 feet wide, and two Diamond Vision™ end-zone displays measuring 29 feet high by 51 feet wide. Weighing 600 tons, the screens will be suspended 90 feet directly over the center of the playing surface and stretch from nearly one 20-yard line to the other.
Completing the array of Diamond Vision™ displays are four, 280 square-foot screens on the lower concourse; an upper level fascia (ribbon) display measuring four feet high by nearly 2,000 linear feet; and two Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor displays totaling more than 2,900 square feet.
The new displays will allow fans on any level of the stadium to easily view the action, creating a premium on the value of the upper-level seats. And no matter where they sit, the 20-mm pixel pitch technology ensures the brightest, clearest images from any angle, Mitsubishi claims.
The gigantic screens facing the sidelines each contain 10.5 million light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, spaced at about 0.39 of an inch.
