Interesting to read this because I want to control 1080 LED's/digits with the smallest amount of chips possible...
I like the Maxim 7219 chips very much but my Weather View display is build up using Alphanumeric displays instead of 7 segment. (the 0,8 inch height displays are relatively cheap here)
So I think the shift register approach is the best after reading all the comments here?
Any thoughts on that?
