Yes, although they're usually only used for very large displays and many are 'signage' rather than true video quality.
My local Ladbroke's has several in their windows. I don't know if they take a standard video signal or use some form of custom input.

If you go to e.g. a rock concert or sports event the huge display
screens are typically LED..

Probably the best screen quality out there. There is no point in going
higher density pixels than the source quality though. Blu ray sets the
limit.
Hard to find new much under £1000 though.

Ladbroke's ones are definately not the best screen quality and are a matrix display

There's online content which is 4k HDR which my TV will play. Not much
of it though... I don't know from personal experience, but I suspect
most BD discs aren't 4k either.

My favourite complaint is down to bit starvation, not the quality. It's
no good being full HD if there aren't enough bits in the transmission to
stop visible artefacts.

Note to TV fans - if you like watching TV do not EVER _EVER_ get a job
in it. You'll get taught how to see all the defects. DAMHIK...

The same was true of working in the music industry :-(
All I heard was the dire sound mix quality.
