16:9: Manchester’s Airport Opens T2; Passengers Welcomed With Giant Display

Manchester, England’s airport opened its new Terminal 2 today, and it is filled with the kinds of operational digital signage typical at airports, but there’s also a very nice 81-square meter media wall in a common passengers area. I can’t tell from the pix if it is LED or LCD. I assume LED, but the gridlines in another photo suggest gridlines. […]

96M-Wide Visualized Data Display On Sydney’s Convention Center

This isn’t new, but it is to me – a long, wide LED running visualized data as art on a permanent installation at the convention center in Sydney, Australia. The Datascape wall is 96 meters wide, or roughly the length of a football pitch. It is on a wall on what is known as Moriarty Walk, down by the harbour. […]

16:9: Leicester Square LED Board Takes Beating From Drunk England Fans Before Euro2020 Football Final

If you are a football (soccer) fan you will know the European men’s final was played yesterday at London’s Wembley Stadium – a game that unfortunately went to penalty kicks after 30 minutes of extra time. Not a fan of PKs deciding huge games, but that’s a debate that’s raged in football for decades now. It was England vs Italy, and if you are not a follower, Italy won. […]

Tokyo Airport Duty-Free Uses LED All The Way Down To Merchandising Counters

It’s rare to see a new-build store kitted out with digital displays BEFORE it gets merchandised and opened up, so this is an interesting little video showing fine pitch LED used all over a duty-free shop at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport.

Called Cross Shinjuku Vision, the P6 DOOH ad board is on a rounded corner of a new building above the east exit of Shinjuku Station, which handles 3.5 million people PER DAY (you are reading that correctly). […]

Nissan Crossover Busts Its Thames-side LED Display Case, Using Anamorphic Illusion

This is a temporary, pop-up digital marketing display for a Nissan vehicle on the banks of the Thames in London, using the same anamorphic illusion techniques seen lately on corner LED displays in China and South Korea. As with all of these LED projects, clever motion graphic design creates the illusion that the visuals are three dimensional – if you are viewing the screen from the corner. […]

16:9: Giant BSOD Greets Motorists on Sydney Highway

There’s always another one, so I am not validating the Linkedin speculation that this is the world’s biggest Blue Screen Of Death, but it would have to be up there in scale. This is on a motorway in Sydney, Australia, and is an LED ad screen for a media company in that country. The Linkedin comments suggest it was BSOD’d for a couple of days. […]

16:9: Sport Direct’s Flagship in London Touted as Having the Most LED, Digital and Interactive Technology on Oxford Street

There are exceptions, but in general terms the one retail vertical that pretty consistently goes to town with screens in stores is sports and recreation. You don’t typically see new builds and renos for clothing, grocery or mass merchandise putting screens all over the place, but that definitely still happens in sports retailing. […]
