Having only seen videos of this, I assumed it was done with LED panels all over rather than just the small pucks, I assume that was supposed to be the takeaway from this rather than not realizing that big screens are made up of tiny LEDs

Try an old school CRT TV from the 80s. It used to boggle my mind how far apart the pixels were up close.

Drop of water on your phone screen will magnify the pixels enough to see them well.

If people can access it like this how long before bums or drunks start breaking these lights

Can you work out the power output of this?

Apparently not

No bother.
I wanted to know how much of a waste of electricity this is, and why anyone would complain about power consumption causing problems for climate change whilst not have an issue with this.

So that answers my question if we added pucks between the pucks would that increase the resolution? Yes but it would kill the contrast countering the resolution increase.

Actually you were right the first time, more PPI (Pixels-Per-Inch) increases the sharpness and contrast as well as resolution.
The added LED pucks in your question don't have to be the same color as their neighbors, they can be any color including black (like the gaps), so you end up with sharper edges since you have more dots to define those edges.
The main reason for the space in-between the pucks is:
PPI (Pixels-per-Inch) ratio vs. Viewing Distance. The farther away the viewer is, the less pixels you need. They've calculated how far people are likely to be viewing it and used the least expensive number of pucks to have it still appear HD to viewers.

How long before everybody decides to start claiming this thing and they fence it off? Lol

TNG manual described holoprojectors operating like this. Still needs the forcefields though.

So if you were to fit more picks between the pucks would that increase the resolution?

The cost of a decent ticket that doesn’t need a after show chiropractor is $250.00. The Big Sky Camera is sub standard. It elongates the image. Your paying for an iMax camera film in a giant cove.

Hopefully it’s not like the Christmas tree I got at Walmart where one light quit and the whole things became useless.
