One of the largest eight-sided (octagonal) Jumbotrons in the world is in Arlington, Texas, USA at the Dallas Cowboys' stadium. The largest non-octagonal Jumbotron is located at the Atlanta Braves' Turner Field and the largest one for a high school in the USA is located at Lassiter High School in Marietta, Georgia. While the Jumbotron and similar large-screen displays are physically large, they were often low in display resolution. The Jumbotron at the now demolished Tampa Stadium in Tampa, Florida, USA, measured 30 ft (9 m) diagonally with a resolution of only 240×192 pixels. Screen size since then varies depending on the venue. The display introduced in 1985 was 40 meters wide by 25 meters tall. Newer, LED-based large screens have 2 or 3 times this early Jumbotron resolution at a fraction of the cost.
The largest Jumbotron in use was located at the SkyDome (now called Rogers Centre) in Toronto, Ontario, and measured 10 m tall by 33.5 m wide (33 ft. × 110 ft.) at a cost of US$17 million. By comparison, a similar sized LED system sold today would cost around $3.0M. The Rogers Centre Jumbotron was replaced in 2005 by a Daktronics ProStar as a part of a stadium revitalization project.
WWE makes frequent use of a Jumbotron, which has been coined the "TitanTron", named after WWE's former parent group Titan Sports. Defunct competitor WCW also made use of similar screens dubbed "TurnerTrons", named after then-owner Ted Turner.
