Good … freaking … Lord!!! Here’s a video of the absolutely massive curving OLED video wall that was the unmissable eye candy for LG at its booth earlier this month at CES in Vegas. I have not been briefed on what LG will do at ISE – which is also a monster trade show. […]

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. […]

16:9: InfoComm Breaks Its Vegas Attendee Record, With 43,000 Badge-Holders

Just-ended InfoComm show attracted nearly 43,000 registered attendees, up about 10 percent from the last time InfoComm was held in Las Vegas, in 2016. The crowd was just a bit less than Orlando 2017, which pulled 44,000.

16:9: Infocomm 2018 Day 2 Impressions

LAS VEGAS – I didn’t think it was possible, but Fremont Street is even weirder than the last time I spent a night around there. The ride history feature on Lyft’s app is a very effective tool for dealing with the “What time did you get in?” question. […]

16:9: InfoComm 2018 Day One Impressions

LAS VEGAS – It’s very hot. The Las Vegas Convention Center has renovated the food services area in the north and central hall areas so it looks more polished and the the options don’t all lead to desperation eating. But there’s still nowhere enough seating. […]

16:9: LG To Show Its Full Color Transparent LED Film This Week At Infocomm

North American pros will get a first look this week at Infocomm at the transparent color LED film that LG first showed a few months ago at ISE in Amsterdam. The film is touted as a way to turn any window or glass surface into a customizable digital canvas. If you were at Infocomm a year ago in Orlando, and wandered into LG Land, you would have seen gray-scale transparent LED films. […]

16:9: Live … from InfoComm, It’s … Oh, It’s Just Dave …

I am working out arrangements with a live streaming company that wants to show its capabilities in real-time at InfoComm next week. They offered, and I grabbed the chance to do a live walk-through of whatever seems like the best area to look around at the show – probably where the display companies are located. […]

16:9: New Sphere Touted For Vegas Would Have 170,000 Sq. Ft. High-Rez LED Display

Las Vegas is up there with Dubai and China for over-the-top buildings and attractions, but a new entertainment complex touted to be open in 2-3 years may top them all. The MSG Sphere is giant see-through ball that will house an 18,000 seat concert and events venue. The Sphere would be 360-feet-tall and 500-feet-wide, and have what I think might be the largest high-rez LED screen on the planet. […]

16:9: DSE 2018 Foot Traffic Back To Recent Year Averages, But End-User Percentage Up

After a seemingly slow day two for foot traffic at Digital Signage Expo a couple of weeks ago, I wondered how the trade show organizers were going to spin the post-show attendance story. The numbers are now out, and DSE is touting how buyer attendance was better than ever. […]

16:9: DSE 2018 – Day Two Impressions – Slooooooow

In the fall of 2008, just as the recession really started to reveal itself on the markets and elsewhere, Philadelphia was host to Digital Signage Expo East. Foot traffic would be politely described as modest. It was pretty much a ghost town. […]
