Giant LED monitors?

So I finally managed to find a place that had one of those "Worlds Biggest Pac Man" machines (along with the similar giant Space Invaders that came out recently) and I was struck by how simple the "monitor" seemed, which looked like it was merely a bunch of multi-colored LEDs. I'm sure they cost a fortune given the overall size and novelty of it but since the tech seems so simple I'm wondering how difficult or expensive it would be to make or buy one like it. For a simple 8-bit game like Pac Man it shouldn't be too difficult to hack together something. I think it would be a pretty cool thing to have something like that in a basement arcade. Any monitor gurus have some ideas?
 
That's kinda what I was picturing... looks like a good place to start. Thanks for the link!
