how much would this cost roughly?
ive wanted to build an LED coffee table/wall panel for a while now, they seem to be getting better.

what would be a decent resource for learning to multiplex these type of panels?

It’s not a “coffee” table, you’d never put a coffee mug down on that thing! More of a shin-hacker, did you see the overhang on the glass?

Great table tho, would also love to see it RGB for ambient effects!

Buy a monitor for 1/5th the money, screw it under the table, if you prefer low res write a driver that displays virtual LED on it or slam a grid on it to obscure the full resolution.

Looks nice. I like the tables with active response displays though…

I’m with the monitor/tv sentiments here…

Shame it’s not RGB, but it is still pretty cool. What I would do is salvage a couple of diffuser sheets from a busted LCD TV and lay them on top of the LEDs.

It would be great to create procedural effects on that thing, ranging from game of life to nice vortex and “plasma” stuff.

@Lou Skunt: I’m interested to see what projects you have undertaken so far?
