The modules are definitely cheaper. I don't have a price on hand though.
Even considering time savings on construction they must be a better
alternative.

I've used upto 50mm. I don't know if they come larger.

You can get matrix displays with zero display current with mechanical
switching modules with good daylight visibillity. These (that I've seen)
come in sizes to 16" in height. I'd hate to see the price though :-(
