(3) Ours will be REPAIRABLE - yes, if one pixel dies you can replace that single LED OR return the DMD for an exchange unit (at this stage estimated to be $99 exchange - after the warranty period).
And on this point, WIN
I have a couple of Xpin displays and I love them
But they did arrive with dead pixles (I was offered replacement blocks, but my soldering is not that good)
I would go for colored LEDs, not filters (but will buy either way)
but at 5000 units, they might be hard to sell
will they be 100% plug and play?
With xpin I still had to fit a foam surround and thin sheet of plastic over the top of everything
