the latest TV advert for MicroSoft PS5 ( PlayStation 5 ) has a flash scene of nixies doing a countdown. Very cool to still be remembered.

I suspected as much due to the way the digits looked. On a tv it is hard to notice, but on the big screen it kinda stuck out. Of course it still made the typical Hollywood clicking sounds, like geiger counters that don't have audio clicking away in movies...

I think you will find that these are 'edge lit' displays - perspex sheets with the digits engraved, lit at the edge by incandescent bulbs which causes the digit to 'light up'.- Richard
