I am looking to display a counter, and need it to be legible from several feet away.
I am thinking of something 4" square or larger, possibly active (LED/plasma) or backlit, so it is legible in low or no light.
Ultimately, this may be used indoors, or outdoors, so if there is something already in a weatherproof housing... that would be a winner.
Thoughts?
Thank you!

Hi samjones,
I've seen some big 7-segment displays, but if you need it for a 2012 countdown for tonight, that could be a problem 
With a plastic transparent casing you could make it as waterproof as needed.
