My little brain is just wondering about something and thought I would 'share'.

Those media panels you see everywhere now (i.e. electronic billboards) must consume a shed load of power.
If the resolution was lets say 640x320, then that is 100 lots of these 64x32 modules in affect.
So if one of these modules needs a decent 5A to drive (all RGB LEDs on), then a 640x320 would need 500A??

But a lot of those media panels are much bigger than 640x320 pixels . . . .

WOW - thats some power requirement

Any thoughts here?
