Nope but a rgb matrix works well as a tune to.

Yep, looking at putting one into next years shows.  Seems all the rgb software supports putting words right on them scrolling by.  Thinking TM1809 flex strips with ssc's myself.

Since one part of my sign broke and I can't swap out the defective mini as they are frozen in I simply am using my virtual Santa screen to display the tune to sign now.

Next year will be rethinking the sign. Thinking something perhaps under the arches

This is one from Technicolor Christmas http://www.lightuplawrence.net/Home/how-to-1/rgb-pixel-sign  that is under $200
For me I had a old 32 LCD TV I wasn't using so I built a wooden cabinet and mounted it in it along with a few C9's to keep it warm and used a VGA to CAT5/6 converted to get the video feed from my house to the sign. I then used a power point presentation run on a separate computer to give show times, tune to and other information.
