There are three types of big-TV's that I know of:
1 rear projection -- screen is translucent, just like a home projection TV.
2 light-bulb -- screen is made up of lots of red/green/blue light bulbs that
are lit up to give you a color picture
3 light-tube -- screen is made up of lots of little square translucent
boxes, each one with three light bulbs inside (red, green,
blue) so that each sqaure/pixel can have any color. This
seems to work better than the second type, since there is
less black space in between the pixels.
I _think_ diamondvision screens are the third type, but it's been a while
since I've seen one. I wasn't @ Stonedfense so I don't know which one the
Dead use(d)...

Nah... I just saw somewhere they someone now makes bricks that light up (for
litterally lit walkways :-)...
You could just build a brick wall on the outside of your building with a bunch
of these bricks (color'em first)... ...and then sit back -- way back! :-)

| speaking of hightech T.V., ne1 familiar with "plasma"
television. From what I've heard, these tv's will be
on the order of a few inches thick with no limit on
the screen size. Some of these televisions are now on
the market in Japan. Their light weight will allow
the owner to literally hang the tv on a wall that may be,
say, 5 foot by 5 foot. Down side is, they cost about $40K.

| 415.7 | which doesn't really answer anything... | QUARRY::petert | rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty | Thu Jul 28 1994 15:11 | 13 |
| In the past, at big stadium shows, when they had a tv setup, they were definitly
using a projection system with the actual projectors somewhere near the
soundboard area. I don't believe this was the case at Highgate, though,
there was SOMETHING behind the soundboard that I never determined the
real function of. Josh and JC and I and some others were sitting behind
this, but it didn't seem like it would be at a good angle to light up
the screens correctly(as they were off the sides of the stage rather
than over the center). Which kind of leaves rear projection, regular, but
large CRT type tv, or one of the tricolor screens that Jeff mentions. I think
the last one is very unlikely, the first probably more likely, and the
2nd, somewhere in between the 2.

| Re: Plasma
40K bucks for a tube!!! not for me thanks.
That'll buy an aweful lot of sailboat or amke a good down payment on
the one I want. We might not be able to hang it on the wall in the living room,
but the images you can get from one are better than anything you'll see on TV.
Geoff who doesn't own a television, but owns now actually 4 boats if
you count the dinghies.

| Ah, but its not a tube its "plasma". The whole TV unit
is only about 6 inches thick, no room for a tube. I don't
know how it works though. Big deal, $40K is tooo
much.
Was any one catching that time lag between the sound and the
video during the show or was it just my location. I suspect the
people near the soundboard enjoyed synchronized lips and sound.

| RE.9 Geoff, think of all the OJ coverage you're missing :)
(actually I avoid OJ coverage, I've had enuff, thank you)
or the Red Sox series at Yankee Stadium this week, that's more like it
or good music videos that you can play on a VCR...
