   A new question (I think)!   You know those really big video screens
that they use at football games and like the one they used at the
Olympic stadium in LA?  How do they work?  Are they projection sets or
a bunch of smaller video screens?  They're animated in full color and
are used in daylight, how much power do these things consume?

"It's sort of a threat, you see.  I've never been very good at them
  myself but I'm told they can be very effective."

Most (if not all) of the giant video screens
are a collection of smaller CRT's.  These
days Mitsubishi has a near monopoly on the
market, assembling systems with their
Diamond Vision [tm] tubes.
