Has anyone made any of these? Know of any examples of some nice ones? In my city they have recently started rolling them out, so putting together some ideas.

I've done a ton of these. They're really no different to design for than paper or vinyl boards, but don't use big areas of white. Since it's light and not ink, white is way too bright.

Thanks utopian.
Nato, I meant ideas to actually use with motion, not just a static ad. I think they allow up to 10 seconds at 30fps.

- the forever 21 one in Times Square is pretty cool and always impresses tourists :)OSFA

I work w LED pretty often, and I've seen these thing increase in resolution, small text is becoming so easy to read and so crisp.
As someone said earlier, white is super powerful, specially at night.
You do want to have good contrast for daytime hours, but I imagine that an apple ad (all white background) will only cause people to crash on the road at night

when there are black areas, is it true black, as in the led's are switched off, or is it like computer screen black? Just wonderign if it's possible to have a conept involving a broken part of the screen
