Phil Lenger of Show and Tell is a busy guy, but he slowed down long enough to sit recently for a chat in his company’s New York offices, near Penn Station. He even offered a sip or two from one of the many, many bottles of seriously good bourbon he has stocked in the corner of Show and Tell’s meeting space. But I behaved myself, and so did he. […]

16:9: NanoLumens Adds Super Fine Pitch, Front-Serviceable LED Display To Lineup

Atlanta-based NanoLumens made its name with lightweight, flexible indoor LED displays, but like other display manufacturers has in the past two years gone hard after the fine pixel pitch LED market.
