16:9: Shenzhen Ops Center Gets 121-Foot Wide Fine Pitch Monitoring Wall

  It hasn’t really happened in North America or, likely, EMEA, but in China, fine pitch LED is increasingly supplanting projection tiles, edge-blended projection and narrow bezels LCDs as the tech of choice for big control room environments.

16:9: Lumipixels Cleverly Marries Motion LED Lighting With Fabric Branding Lightboxes

One of the challenges with being in an industry so long – even before it had a name – is getting jaded and a bit bored. I go to trade shows, like next week’s InfoComm, and mostly shrug. The stuff is amazing, beautiful, brighter, skinnier, lighter, faster … lots of things with “ers” on the end. […]

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: FCC Cracks Down On Non-Compliant LED Display Vendors

When LED companies like Watchfire and Daktronics started making noises in the past year about the perils of buying offshore product that was not FCC licensed, it was reasonable to think a little bit of that was about sowing some FUD – Fear Uncertainty & Doubt.
