I would be very interested in this project, particularly what you did with the Neyland design. That is something I’ve been looking at doing (or similar) in either my den/man cave or my outdoor space.

Man that looks great!

How did you do it? Is this a led pixel board you made or a commercial purchased large screen?

For those who want to try for a PeytonBerry-like set up, here's what I am equipped to do. I have a wi-fi capable projector, an Actiontec sender-receiver system, and of course, a 60" TV. I got the HUGE screen three years back when it cost less than now. Whatever shows up on the TV is sent to the receiving unit just outside the door, powered by outside power sockets. The transmitter is linked to the TV via HDMI. Same thing for the receiver linked to the projector via HDMI. The projector throws the image/video to the giant screen. The negative for this set up is that placing the equipment at optimum location is problematic unless you have extension power cables outside the home. But it's doable. Be prepared to have non-Vols fans wandering neighbors, drift over asking if you can show (whatever favorite college team they like). Answer is NO, you're a Vols fan. But they hang around anyway for the on-screen score updates, and halftime reports and replays. It's neighborly to share your beer and snack table. Some even cheer the Vols, though not fans of them. I have no doubt there are easier ways to do what I did. At the time, this was the only option I could find for projecting to a huge movie screen outside the house.

Commentary: Actiontec might be harder to find now, and be sure you get the right version.

This has me inspired and going a little crazy-focused on doing something like this in my outdoor space. I spent more time than I care to admit at work today looking at ways to make that neon sign.

Thanks a lot, OP. You’ve created a monster.
