True but it doesn’t have that Marquee feel using such a large screen, and these smaller screens are not common enough to be sold at standard sized screen pricing, but yeah I would like it cheaper too.
This was a similar offering, it’s an ultra wide thin LCD used in advertising, $360USD from alibaba.

It’s in the same price range, not sure which one would be better, maybe The NorthCoast custom one because it feels more Arcady.

Looking at similarly dimensioned RGB LED panels, you could chain two of these together https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14718 and approximate the display area, at 20"x5" with the same resolution of 128x32.
Looking at this project using a 32x32 panel, I'm a little surprised just how reasonable a random image looks scaled to that size.

If you look at this Thingiverse item I posted you can see one of the panels I built. This posting provides the brackets that held the panels together and I created a battery holder and a mount for the BeagleBone Black that runs it with an Octoscroller daughter card.

I’m seeing 128x64 versions on eBay 10x5 for $60 range, and even packages of 2 10x5 (64x32) on amazon for under $70.
If I’m not mistaken, this is identical to the NorthCoast customs offering as it’s not encased in anything, probably two panels daisy chained.
To use this with Mame, how would I convert this to HDMI for secondary screen display of marquee?

It's like 2 of these side by side:
