As far as I know those were Disney-provided displays, so theoretically they are still down at EPCOT somewhere. But i do remember that those displays were each NTSC-resolution (720x486 pixels) designed for video projection. So with an array of 12 of them, you only got up to 4.2 million pixels. An array of 16 would be 5.6 million. But in either case, did CD even get shown on the giant screen (if it never was, then that should be our new goal - get CD on the big screen at the Championships!)?

TO answer your question.
No, those horses are not charging the crowds.
Yes, that is the worlds longest TV.

Quote:
The installation set up by Mitsubishi Electric at the club's Sha Tin Horse Race Course last year is the world's longest television display, measuring 26 ft. tall x 231 ft. wide. As Guinness points out, that's long enough to "display the Statue of Liberty if she stepped down off her pedestal and lay on her side."
400 x 3520 pixel count...
