The display debuted at the Kings’ season opener last night and is the NBA’s first centerhung video board in 4k Ultra HD, and is seven-times larger than the board at their old Sleep Train Arena.
Refs certainly don’t want to make any egregious mistakes on this court, as instant replays in 4k will be hard to miss on the giant displays. The refs may even start using the overhead boards to review plays, rather than the dinky monitors sitting on the scorer’s table.
The new technology wasn’t able to help the Kings open the season with a win though, as they lost to the San Antonio Spurs 102 to 94.
