The huge Mitsubishi Electric screen hanging above the Dallas Cowboy's field of play is now in the Guinness World Record books, as the world's largest high-definition video display.
The screen has previously snagged my attention, and a football - Dallas Cowboys' over-field TV stops play - but the entry in the record books means more details about the screen are revealed. Mitsubishi states:
The screen has previously snagged my attention, and a football - Dallas Cowboys' over-field TV stops play - but the entry in the record books means more details about the screen are revealed. Mitsubishi states:
"The world's first four-sided, center-hung, high-definition video display in a stadium consists of four Diamond Vision® LED video screens, 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 are suspended 90 feet directly over the centre of the playing surface and stretch from nearly one 20-yard line to the other."With a total viewing area of 11,393 square-feet, the Diamond Vision display is equal to 3,268 52-inch televisions, and has 10,584,064 LED lights, says Mitsubishi.
Mitsubishi's Diamond Vision displays are no strangers to Guinness. Back in August 2003 they received a Guinness World Record for the World's Longest Video Display, for the Hong Kong Jockey Club Sha Tin Racecourse in Hong Kong. And in March 2005, a Diamond Vision LED display at Turner Field in Atlanta was recognised as the World's Largest High-Definition Television Screen.
