LAS VEGAS — It will be a little easier to follow the action for spectators at this year’s Kentucky Derby thanks to a brand new massive video board.

Rance Poehler, president of Panasonic Systems North America, talks about his company’s massive 4K big screen that will be installed at Churchill Downs this year in time for the Kentucky Derby.

During its press event this morning at CES, Panasonic announced that it will install the world’s largest 4K video display at the famous Churchill Downs racetrack in Louisville.

The big board measures 171-feet by 90-feet and is the only video board in an outdoor stadium or arena capable of displaying 4K.

The board was previously announced last October, but this is the first time Panasonic has said anything about the 4K capabilities.
