Never knew these existed. Could be very useful for someone recreating the Bell Labs 1928 large screen display. It even works with Arduino!

The problem of a neon display is to get grey shades. I remember the Baird neon plate lamp. If you dim the lamp a part of the plate goes off and another parts is kept iluminated. This can be too with the Nixie display. Even a neon lamp does this.

But if you only want the dots on or off there is no problem at all. But for (NB)TV you don't want that........
