256x256 LED Matrix

hello

I have been offered a 256x256 LED matrix to use for Holiday decorations this year. My current idea is to display the matrix in a window of the home and play Christmas videos using it. the Videos would be accompanied by Christmas Carols.

Other hobbyists have suggested just getting a surplus “JumboTron” and using it. One hobbyist last year used 4 flat panel TV and synced them together to play the Christmas videos and Christmas Music Videos.

I would like to attempt the LED matrix first.

The plan is to use one of the Linux Laptops and an Allpixel.
I will have to delve into the Blbliopixel to learn how to display video.
