English term or phrase: jumbotron
Popular actor N. H.* will have videos airing on a jumbotron in Shibuya on the 23rd and 24th.

While "jumbotron" is used as a "genericized" trademark (owned by Sony), would it be advisable to use "jumbotron" in the Spanish translation?

It seems better to me "en una pantalla gigante" or "en una pantalla de vídeo gigante".

Is "jumbotron" a term (Trademark or otherwise) known or used at all in Spain, and/or any other Spanish speaking countries?

What about "una superpantalla" or "macro-pantalla"?

What is the term for the big screens used in soccer fields, or big concerts, etc. in Spain?

(My target audience is in primarily Spain, but I am interested as well in the usages for other Latin American countries... including the Philippines.)
