I can’t imagine companies are willing to pay enough to offset the ridiculous electricity and maintenance cost on that many lights.
Advertising costs are pretty insane sometimes but I feel this thing has a huge ROI mountain to climb. The lights and power aren’t my main issue, I have to support a few video walls in my line of work and a wall of screens a 10th the size of this thing runs 200k plus, they spent millions building this thing just in screens, not to mention whatever software needed to be made for it. It’s gonna take decades to make profit even if they sell it constantly and suffer almost no failures of equipment
I think your estimations are reasonable, but some further information: it is not just a normal screen (with normal picel density) at a bigger size, but the pixels are rather far apart. So I would assume that this reduces the cost.
