Just going back through my notes and pix from last week at InfoComm, and remembered how the focal point of LG’s big, impressive booth was OLED displays.

The buzz around Integrated Systems Europe is that the show, which is sort of on now but really opens tomorrow, could push past 80,000 attendees.

Via Display Daily OLED displays have tended to generate a couple of uniform reactions from onlookers:1) they look amazing and 2) they’re amazingly expensive. The latter is changing, according to research firm IHS Markit, which says the manufacturing cost gap between OLED displays and LCD displays is closing. […]
This the new showroom of the London creative studio Projection Artworks, which includes several LG OLED displays. There’s nothing all that exciting about companies have showrooms, but I note this because of the smart decision to place the OLEDs on a piano black wall. […]
