The major LCD display companies have pretty much all introduced fine pitch LED products to deal with a shift away from flat panels to LED modules for video walls, and now pure-play projector companies appear to be on the same path. […]
Guest Post: Mitch Leathers, SNA Displays For pedestrians, auto traffic, event-goers and other consumers, nothing turns heads and captures attention quite like digital signage. Mitch Leathers Dynamic and vivid LED displays prove superior at content delivery and message dissemination compared to traditional advertising tools such as printed posters, billboards and other types of static signage.

Dayton, Ohio-based STRATACACHE is known primarily in the digital signage industry as an aggressive, fast-moving software and solutions company, and I doubt many industry people think about the company as a hardware manufacturer. But STRATACACHE is now very seriously into manufacturing outdoor-ready displays for the largest U.S. […]
Many software companies are broadening their use of System On Chip displays, both with Android and on the proprietary versions of Linux run by the big Korean displaycos. […]
Photo – realities:united I wrote recently about the mind-wobblingly stupid art installation installed but not activated at a new Toronto subway stop. The set-up would allow anyone to walk up to a kiosk and put up a brief eight-character message on a set of suspended lights. Naughty and nasty messages would, of course, ensue. […]
Hat Tip Tom McGowan I don’t know what integrators, display and software companies work with Atlanta’s TVS Design, if any in particular, but the architectural firm just won a monster contract that will involve a LOT of AV and digital signage technology. […]

Hat Tip Display Daily If you are in digital signage and having a swell time explaining to clients why they really, really don’t need 4K when full HD is more than awesome for the task at hand, you will be bouncing in your high chair with word that 8K will start to be a thing this year. […]
Hughes Network Systems is the latest company to port its digital signage CMS player software to run on LG webOS system on chip smart displays. The webOS player is compatible with all of the Hughes MediaSignage platform – from corporate comms apps to menu boards. […]
It’s kinda hard to get excited about ad screens in shuttle buses, but a new case study out from BrightSign is interesting not so much for the product, but the insight and how this stuff is done in things that are moving, bouncing and bumping, and probably exposed to all kinds of power spikes and cuts. […]
Were there any doubts about LED displays coming down in cost to a point that they’ll go from expensive one-offs to commonplace, consider the story of Chicken Charlie’s, a San Diego concession stand that has good-sized, finer pitch LED displays that fire up when it sets up in places like county fairgrounds. […]
Via Korea Times and AV Interactive The entrance to LG’s monster booth at CES in Las Vegas this week is a 28 metre-long winding walkway of flexible OLED displays, set up to mimic one of the slot canyons hikers might find in nearby Utah or Arizona. The LG OLED Canyon has 90 concave and 156 convex open frame 55-inch OLEDs, and the content features nature scenes enhanced by immersive audio. […]
Samsung confirmed rumors today and announced a massive, modular MicroLED TV called The Wall. The easiest way to think of it is a fine pitch LED wall for the consumer market. The announced configuration for CES this week is 146-inches diagonal, but it is positioned as something that can be made bigger, smaller or a different shape, by adding or removing modules. […]
One of the nice perks of being a Digital Signage Federation member – along with the private jet access I assume I now get as a newly-minted director – is access to the quarterly industry summary put together by IHS Markit. Q3 is now available, and as might be expected, there’s some interesting stuff in there. […]
