The question then becomes, not what the dead pixel policy is, but what the heck you do with the old one.

You can't throw it out, and you sure as hell can't hide it in a warehouse somewhere very easily

o.o; All you'd need is, like, 25-30 (okay, maybe 50) of your Lan-Party friends to find where they put the old one, and you've got yourself a really, REALLY big screen to go fragging on. =P

To all the haters:
UT has the reigning NCAA Baseball Champs, reigning NCAA football champs, and the men's basketball program was ranked #6 to end the season. Softball team currently ranked #2, men's track currently ranked #2, and a rediculous amount of swimming championships.

Need I remind you what happened in 1966 when a genius longhorn climbed the clocktower? At least our school deaths are accidents.

Thats not cool.

As far as the screen goes, after the national title I am pretty sure this board isn't gonna hurt the budget too bad....]]>Jul 28th 2006 9:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/10/longhorns-to-snatch-worlds-biggest-hd-display-title-from-dolp/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/10/longhorns-to-snatch-worlds-biggest-hd-display-title-from-dolp/
How did Dak install it? They used the exisiting framework of the original analog display boards which were Sony (and godawful sony parts). They removed the Whiteway boards (advertisements) and paneled in the whole display. Here's the catch...the original scoreboards at Dolphinstadium were 2 different sizes on either endzone. The West Endzone was just a videoboard, and the East was a videoboard and LED. So, hypothetically, Dolphin Stadium has 2 HD boards instead of one. The larger one of course being the highly touted Dak board in the East endzone.

Diagnolly speaking, it is larger than UT's (overall display size). Hell, folks in Cuba can watch the game from there!
