jbrown84, do you know what St. Anthony is being charged for those electronic billboards?

too many power lines draped across this town, okc should bury them, edmond as well, wires and lines everywhere!!!

I don't, but I really can't share that kind of information.

I strongly agree.

no big deal, I was just curious in comparison to the regular ones.

I can find out a general price-range.

I believe it's over $40,000 a month for Lamar. That's multiple boards.

To me, that hardly seems worth it, even for multiple boards. I know they look good at night, but in the daytime I think the regular boards stand out better and you're the ONLY one on the board.

Yeah, the look kind of dull in the daylight.

I guess they aren't as bright as the boards all over times square that look just as bright in the day as the night.

But if this generation of display boards is even remotely successful, it should continue to spur development of even brighter LED units in the coming months/years. If they can get them small enough, you'll start seeing this kind of technology in even thinner flat-panel TV's; point being I think the billboard companies sniff a huge new potential in these boards that has lots of upside...and keep in mind this same technology is already being used on a larger scale in NFL stadiums (and I believe will be going into OU's stadium both this and next year...big one going in next year - complete scoreboard/video replacement with solid LED panel, I think...)
