LG is seeing what must be one of the largest deployments yet of smart digital signage displays – one or several webOS-based smart commercial screens in more than 2,400 Best Westerns across the US and Canada. […]
I’ve always assumed that smart city information stations located away from a city’s major plazas and thoroughfares would get the living shit beat out of them by tipsy or angry members of the general public. Putting $30,000 (or whatever) units on a sidewalk in Jackson Heights or the Bronx just … seemed … risky. […]
When I was at the NRF show this week in New York, I bumped into numerous industry friends – some who encouraged me to get away from the exhibit venue and head over to the new-ish Nike “House of Innovation” flagship on 5th Avenue. It was mind-blowing, I was told. So I grabbed an Uber with a friend, Raffi Vartian from Diversified, and went over to see what all the fuss was about. […]
LG has started actively marketing the transparent LED film, for windows and architectural glass, it has been demonstrating at trade shows for the last couple of years. The film is only 1.5mm thick (about the thickness of a dime coin) and pushes more than 1,000 nits of brightness in each 668×480 mm panel. Each of those panels has 560 LED pixels set at 24mm pitch. […]
Sitting at Newark airport, heading back to East Coast Canada, after the National Retail Federation trade show in New York. I don’t go every year, so I can’t pass on year to year impressions. But I have been several times, including 2 or 3 times in the last five years. […]
One of the biggest payments tech companies around has found a display provider to partner on interactive kiosks that embed payment capabilities in the actual screen, instead of beside it or virtually using phones. […]
Last year, CES visitors to LG’s stand walked along an OLED screen canyon. This year, there’s an OLED waterfall … kinda sorta. LG’s sprawling CES booth, by the main entrance to the Las Vegas Convention Center, has 260 OLEDs in a dramatic, wavy waterfalls-like set-up. […]
Trends in fast casual and QSR restaurants are having an interesting impact on digital signage usage in that sector, and new technology coming out of San Francisco company is a great example of a company adapting to a changing landscape. […]
Nanolumens founder Rick Cope has left the company he founded and ran for several years, to pursue (as the saying goes) other interests. The colorful former US Marine built the Atlanta-area company up from the idea stage – marketing indoor LED displays that were skinny, light and flexible to a pro AV industry that had previously known mostly thick, heavy and rigid. […]
This is a very nice, inventive projection-mapping job done at Toronto Pearson Airport for the lux vehicle, the Genesis. BIG Digital, a Toronto solutions provider that kinda sorta specializes in temporary digital signage displays, put together a custom exhibit along one of the walkways in from the parking garage to Terminal 1, the one Air Canada flies out of. […]
First there was OLED. Then QLED, which looks like OLED but is actually LCD tech. Now there is also ULED, which is like QLED, but different. […]
Stumbled via Linkedin on this video post about a retail merchandising solution that puts a tablet on a slider rail in front of a bank of related products. It’s from a San Francisco area company called OnQ that designs and manufactures category displays for retailers and brands. […]
Samsung now has jumbo and small versions of The Wall – the micro LED display it introduced year ago at CES. The Korean electronics giant’s First Look CES 2019 event today features a new 219″ display and a 75” version that’s in line with the form factor for large TVs in homes. […]
It should surprise exactly no one that at least some of the good residents of New York are not all that thrilled that a barge with big-ass LED screens on it is working as a floating billboard on the Hudson River. This Gothamist post lays out the public upset and civic position on Ballyhoo Media, which started operations off Manhattan this fall. […]
The media people have to sell it, and the content creatives have to develop it. Which is maybe why the new digital screens in the escalator wells of London’s famed subway system seem to be missing an opportunity. The old display panels were replications of posters that stair-stepped up and down the escalator side walls, with gaps between each. […]
