RE: USB scrolling LED signs

A lot of call centres now use LCD TV's, a lot cheaper than equivalent
sized
LED displays and significantly more flexible.

Anyone have idea's?

I'm looking for a LED display that I can routinely send messages to via usb
through the command line (I only have Linux based machines here) and is of
a
reasonable wall-mounted size (around 1 meter?).

What I'm trying to achieve is a wall mounted information display that will
give short messages in my office. I want to use it as a informational
display to give me cues on impending calendar events, inbox status e.t.c
but
be sufficiently detached i.e. on the wall for me to glance at it without it
distracting me every 2 minutes on the computer.

Anyone seen something like this at a reasonable price?

Regards,
Jamie.
