With the magic blocks discovery, we are able to replace blocks at a distance using redstone activated spawners. Using Texeleif's filter for Trazlander's schematics, I was able to make a 255x255 black wool screen that can have each and every pixel change colour. Now, I did not complete this project to the above specifications, as doing so (fitting all the devices to change to pixel colour) requires modifying the MCEdit filter in question to generate smaller y axis schematics (Way too much space between modules, forcing modules out of render distance).
HOWEVER, I did prove that the above stated specifications are completely possible and doable within Minecraft's current state in Far Render Distance (As far as I can tell). I do not have the time nor the energy nor the computing power to invest in this project. I'm simple putting this out there because I have not seen anyone talk about this before.
Prior to this, MC Screens were not nearly this big, and could only be either on or off, not 16 different colours (As there are 16 colours of wool - Technically, you can switch the pixels with any block, but it requires a huge number of spawners (65025) per colour, so keeping it at just wool would likely give the widest range of colours in the fewest blocks.
As for the resolution, you may be asking, why is it no 256x256? Well, since it relies on falling sand, there has to be a solid block at the bottom, else it falls into the void. You could make it 255 tall by 256 wide, but it would probably be better square.
Finally, while I'm dishing out computer ideas has anyone tried using the old wireless redstone (Point cursor at glass panes) concept to make a mouse for a computer? (Step onto pressure plate, reads glass pane input, step off, stops reading)
If anyone decides to run with this, don't worry about giving me credit. Just have fun soaring.

How does this old wireless Redstone trick work.
I like to do redstone builds on my channel, and I can probably help you with your in game troubles.
