    A massive, first-of-its-kind LED (light-emitting diode) screen, which will air promotional videos and news feeds, will greet passers-by outside the Colorado Convention Center just in time for the Democratic National Convention, the Denver Post reports. The paper says: "The giant screen consists of 16 32-inch-wide panels, which are suspended by straps and fastened to the top and bottom of the structure with brackets. Each panel weighs about 300 pounds."
