 "One pixel display" - I was surprised by the suggestion that this could be a static image, like a slide; I had imagined, and would like to see (perhaps more explicitly) the alternative, that the whole screen simply lights up in a single color (within the __-bit colorspace). --[[Special:Contributions/108.162.245.177|108.162.245.177]] 17:03, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

 :A single pixel with a lot of display states need not be static.  Show a bunch in sequence like a film based movie projector. Pixel is the minimum addressable picture element.  Think about ASCII art (e.g., printing Mona Lisa on a daisywheel printer), or graphics on the IBM PC monochrome display, Commodore PET, etc.  There are also those pieces of art where each pixel is a small photograph (I don't know if there is a name for that).  Not typical pixels, bit of a gray area.  [[Special:Contributions/172.71.158.15|172.71.158.15]] 21:10, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
