16:9: New Vegas NFL Stadium To Have 345 Foot Wide LED Mesh Screen On Outside Wall

Let’s assume, given the target opening is mid-summer, that the order is already in for a giant 80 foot tall by 345 foot wide transparent LED mesh screen on the outside of Allegiant Stadium, the new venue for the Las Vegas NFL team. The 27,600 square feet display will be the largest freestanding LED marquee in the city, but is still only 20% or so of the Viva Vision canopy display on Fremont. […]

16:9: LG’s CES2020 News Adds 48-Inch OLED TV; Talks More About 8K

LG has had its press conference at CES this morning, and while there was lots of cool consumer stuff, it was more about appliances and gaming than about displays – though there was lots of talk about OLED, as you might expect. No real signage-ish stuff to report, however. There is now a 48-inch OLED, with the previous smallest TV being 55-inches. […]

The massive CES consumer gadgets show is on this week in Las Vegas, and there are plenty of poor souls from this industry who are obligated to be there this week – dealing with endless line-ups for everything and supply/demand hotel pricing that sees terrifying places like Circus Circus charging $300+ a night. […]

16:9: 175-Foot Wide Curved LED Marquee Lights Up At North End Of Vegas Strip

If you know Las Vegas, you probably know the intersection on the Strip down by the Venetian, Fashion Show Mall and Treasure Island resort. Like much of the Strip, this area seems to steadily evolve, and the corner that is part of TI has just lit up a huge, curved LED board touted as the 2nd biggest on that LED-riddled roadway. The beast sits atop a 24-hour CVS drug store. […]

The 16:9 Mixer – Call For Sponsors

I have had an email out to the 2019 sponsors of the annual 16:9 DSE Mixer in Las Vegas, and about half have replied that they are back in for 2020, and I suspect a couple more will be back as well. That will leave two of three sponsor slots, so if you are interested, let me know. I had one company on a sponsor wait list for two years, and now they’re in. […]

16:9: Linq Casino In Las Vegas Switches On Visualized Data Feast Dubbed Dataland

Hat Tip John Baggott of ComQi for pointing me at this … The Linq Casino on the Las Vegas Strip added a pile of new displays, custom content and interactive experiences in a refresh unveiled in June. I stayed there back in March (budget-conscious trip) and none of this was in place, but you could see renos were happening around the casino floor. […]

16:9: Big Oops! Huge LED Wall In Ruins At Mandalay Bay’s Arena

There are endless theories, it seems, as to what happened – but what is without question is that the other day, an LED wall hung on a truss for events at the Mandalay Bay’s arena in Las Vegas collapsed. It seems to have been a relatively slow motion collapse, as opposed to a catastrophic crash. It does not seem like anyone was hurt, which is very good. […]
