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.

Here’s a video and some good pix showing the LG OLED canyon that leads into the company’s mega-booth at CES this week. The OLED Canyon has 90 concave and 156 convex open frame screens. Visitors walk through a 28m long twisting canyon trail and experience images produced by a total of two billion self-emissive OLED pixels. […]
It’s a new year and people are starting to get into trade show season mode and plan their schedules for things like DSE, and the emails are already coming in asking about the annual Sixteen:Nine DSE Mixer. Yes, it’s on again. Same format. […]
A friend pointed out that Globalshop this year is again on the same week as Digital Signage Expo, but unlike last year, the cab ride over to that show for DSE is a bit more involved. Last year, the big retail merchandising show was at the south end of the strip at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. This year, it’s in Chicago. […]
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. […]
Photo source: Liliputing Intel is showing off a new, very powerful version of its NUC mini-PCs, which have been widely used by some digital signage network operators, software vendors and systems integrators. […]
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 quick look around an industry event is all you need to conclude the digital signage industry is like almost all tech-based industries – lopsidedly male in overall headcounts, and particularly at executive levels. I don’t think the gender seesaw will get balanced in my working lifetime, but it is s l o o o o o w l y changing. […]
The Las Vegas office of ClearChannel Outdoor has partnered with the FBI to put material on digital billboards around that city related to the recent shooting massacre. The boards will feature the slogan: “If you know something, say something.” People will be encouraged to call a tip line. […]
A pair of Las Vegas start-ups have synced up on a blended offer that sees a creative content shop making ad space available, via the partners online ad booking platform. […]
I don’t think I’ve seen an LED marquee quite like this – a very tall roadside slab that has the curves of three-dimensional Roman columns on each side, wrapped in LED. It’s an 85-foot tall 10mm sign along the Las Vegas Strip, in front of Caesar’s Palace. It went up in June, I believe, for Simon Properties, which runs the impossible retail maze known as Forum Shops. […]
Free open source digital signage software options get a lot of reader interest here, but I’ve not seen many commercial companies take open source options and roll them into their commercial offer (unless you lump in Android). […]
A planned interview went south on me and there was no time to pull a replacement together, so in lieu of a new one this week, here is one of my favourite interviews to date – with Randy Dearborn of MGM Resorts, done a little more than a year ago. […]
The Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, what you may know as the old Las Vegas Hilton right next to the convention center, has put some serious money into sprucing the place up, including the digital displays. There are more than 150 digital signage displays on the property, including custom LED screens, 4K video walls, HD displays, and projections. […]
Leyard is at the 2017 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show this week in Las Vegas, showing a fine pixel pitch LED video wall that supports multi-touch interactivity. It’s an overlay of some kind, but isn’t glass, so it doesn’t cause glare or, more importantly, trap the heat that can build up from all those LEDs. […]
