While this scoreboard never really fit into the category of "largest-built HD display", it is still a huge high definition display and therefore worth mentioning on our site. The gigantic planned high-def scoreboard at the Texas Longhorns stadium is now complete and prepared to offer shade to half the neighborhood. This scoreboard is just huge and measures in at 134- x 55-feet that works out to be 144.85 diagonal screen. This HD scoreboard does pale in comparison to the 221 diagonal screen that is installed at a Japanese horse track, but high-def and football go together a lot better then high-def and horse racing.[Thanks, Clay]
Sweet, I'm gonna go check it out today
Tuck Fexas!
I don't know if it has been mentioned here before but sadly the t.u. athletic department decided not to spring for the fancy HD studio to go along with thier new board. So while thier new screen might be HD-ready all the footage shown on the screen (i.e. replays & game footage) will be shot and processed using SD equipment. Hopefully next year they can have all the HD hardware in place to enjoy the fancy screen (that thing is GIORMOUS btw).
Texas A&M on the other hand, while not having a screen as large as t.u.'s did decide to invest in upgrading it's studio to have all HD equipment. So all game footage for this upcoming season will be shot using HD cameras and will be processed in the new HD studio and shown on our new Mitsubishi Diamond Vision™ Display.
