Verizon Center shows off "first true indoor HD LED scoreboard"
We don't know if it's really the world's first true indoor HD LED scoreboard or not, but even if it's not, the quartet of new screens at the Verizon Center are getting pretty glowing early reviews. Mitsubishi Electric and ANC Sports Enterprises teamed up to install the four center hung, 25-foot by 14-foot Diamond Vision systems at the home of the Washington Capitals, along with over 1,000 linear feet of LED fascia to display scrolling info. At only 1,280 by 736 pixels, none of these screens is going to make the most out of your favorite Blu-ray flick, but they do make the arena a perfect venue for your next LAN party.[Photo courtesy of Flickr member Jessfir]

It's a little difficult to play games on those jumbotron/prostar/diamond vison screens but speaking from experience it is still very entertaining.

I really haven't seen an LED display that I really liked the color. I'm not sure what it is, the colors don't seem quite right, and it seems like maybe they have a wacky gamma curve or something, which seems like should be more correctable somehow, but isn't. It's just too hard to look at them enough to figure out what it is that make them look so harsh.
