They most likely went with them because they were cheap, not because they are the "undisputed winner"

The giant Vegas pornboard trucks I see on my commute are bad enough. How am I supposed to drive and type on my blackberry with giant mobile video billboards playing ads for direct to you strippers distracting me. That's just not safe.

While 22'x40' is great for the bedroom, I'd like something really big for the living room :)

"They build a 40'x22' TV and then make it only 720p??? 1080p FTW!"

The article explains that the LED matrix is on a 15mm pitch ( 0.6" ). Do the calculations and you'll see why it won't be able to display even as much as 720 lines on a screen that's only 22 feet high.

]]> <![CDATA[BMP Preparing to "Roll Out" 40-Foot Wide LED, HDTV Megascreens to an Event Near You]]> I believe you meant 22 feet tall, and 40 feet wide, unless they are putting the screen on its side. Remember, HD screens are wider than they are tall.

Where I come from, 40 inches by 22 inches is big for a home TV, but not big enough to justify mounting it on a truck.

]]> <![CDATA[BMP Preparing to "Roll Out" 40-Foot Wide LED, HDTV Megascreens to an Event Near You]]> "BMP plans on kicking the entertainment factor up a notch or two by building gigantic, truck-mounted 40" x 22" HDTV screens and hauling them to a rock concert near you."

Might want to change that to 40'x22'?
