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

Yes looks good makes me i think back to Alberts home made led display NBTV monitor he had to solder every led in place ...any case looking interesting
The electromagnetic spectrum has no theoretical limit at either end. If all the mass/energy in the Universe is considered a 'limit', then that would be the only real theoretical limit to the maximum frequency attainable.

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........
