by | Dec 19, 2024 | Pro Displays, Uncategorized

The Chief Tempo Wall Mount System

I know many of you reading this may be newer to the Pro AV space, but something that few people get excited about are mounts. If you were just glancing at them, many have similar features, look similar, and if you didn’t know better, you could just pick any old solution to mount your display (or more importantly, displays). We are talking about bent steel here, what possible innovation could get people excited? Especially old, jaded veterans of the industry like me. Ladies and gentlemen, I am introducing you to the Chief Tempo Wall Mount System.

The beauty behind this is in its simplicity. Imagine having a mount that went on the wall, and had built in storage behind the panel for power, media players, and whatever other accessories you deem necessary? Let’s take a look at the Tempo On-Wall Mount Solution.

On-Wall Solution

The Chief Tempo on-wall mount system is an all-in-one configurable solution that simplifies the installation process. Here are some key features:

  • Ease of Installation: The on-wall system is designed to be user-friendly, reducing the time and effort required for setup. It includes a wide-open wall plate that makes it easy to align power outlets and low voltage wiring.
  • Complete Solution in One Box: This system comes with everything you need in a single package, including two 15”x10” Lever Lock™ plates for AV device storage.

How LG’s Transparent LED Film is Revolutionizing Display Technology

by | Dec 10, 2024 | Digital Signage, Outdoor AV, Pro Displays, Uncategorized, Video Walls

The future of display technology is here, and it’s transparent! LG’s Transparent LED technology has opened up new possibilities in how we interact with screens in both public and private spaces. As we continue to push the boundaries of innovation in visual technology, LG’s Transparent LED is leading the charge, offering a solution that’s both visually stunning and incredibly versatile for large glass spaces.

In this blog, we’ll explore the technology behind LG’s Transparent LED, its potential applications, and how it’s poised to change the way we think about large glass spaces and how they can be used for messaging in a unique way.

What is Transparent LED?

LG color transparent LED filmAt its core, LG’s Transparent LED is a cutting-edge display technology that uses micro thin nano wires laminated between transparent silicon-based film, allowing light to pass through. This enables the display to offer high-quality visuals without completely obstructing the view behind it. The current LTAK140-GU1 product has a 13.7mm pixel pitch with 60% transparency and features 1,000 nits of brightness. It is sold in sheets of a self-adhesive film that are “squeegeed” onto glass. The sheets are 25.8” x 19.4” and can accommodate convex/concave surfaces. The material can be cut vertically between rows of “pixels” to accommodate almost any size space. Rails are installed vertically or horizontally, and ribbon cables attach to the rails. Each rail connects to the controller that transmits data and content. The unit controller distributes the signal to the rails, manages content, and the layout of the wall. Applicable parts are are the LCLG141U and LCLG002.

Unlike traditional LED displays that require a solid background or opaque surface, Transparent LED maintains a high level of transparency, making it suitable for those large spaces with plenty of glass. Recently, a convention center inquired about the product as they have four floors with escalators where glass railings are in full view. The space also had four-story high windows above the entrances where signage could be applied. Using the LED product, they would not lose glass transparency when LED was not in use, and content could be easily customized for directional and way-finding information specific to events as people entered the building. For this customer to proceed and budget for a potential installation, they needed to balance the income that could be generated from offering customers the option to display on the LED space. Content would be most noticeable entering the convention center. Would the additional revenue stream justify the initial investment? The other advantage would be the Convention Center adopting leading-edge technology and stepping “outside-the-box” from traditional static or smaller size signage displays.

Besides convention centers, we receive a lot of inquiries about Transparent LED, especially after LG outfits their booths with this product at shows such as CES and InfoComm. There is a lot of interest for transparent displays for C-store windows, restaurants, and airports. Keep in mind that the LTAK runs about $650 per square foot, not including content mapping or installation.

Content

Designing, configuring, and installing LTAK LED takes some planning and work with the LG system design engineers. Another key aspect of this product is content. Traditional 2K/4K 16:9 content is not ideal for this product. Up close, the LTAK looks very pixelated, and adding content that is stretched does not help. For optimal output, content will need to be purposed in the resolution of the designed LED wall, keeping in mind the optimal viewing distance of 70 feet.

For reference, the images and video rendering in this blog post were provided by LG as examples of content usage.

LG transparent LED demo

Some considerations for your customer might be:

  • What is the value proposition of replacing smaller traditional signage over the course of five years? Would being able to update messaging remotely and without on-site labor be a cost savings?
  • Is your customer wanting to explore new and different ways of messaging than what is traditional? Are they looking for the “wow” factor that changes an ordinary space to an immersive experience? Are they looking to step outside the box of tradition and market in a new way?
  • Would a transparent solution allow for content that excites and draws people to a place or product that would enhance a revenue stream?
  • How can the costs of a transparent LED solution be offset with potential new product offerings or venues?

For regulatory concerns on light and heat passing through the glass, bear in mind that LG’s LTAK accommodates up to 32°F ~ 113°F. It is recommended to check with local and state agencies for Green Performance Standards and outward-facing ordinances for signage. We are always happy to help with information and quotes for Transparent LED.

LG transparent LED applications

Applications of LG Transparent LED

Retail and Advertising

In the retail industry, the transparent nature of the display can be used to create striking visual displays without sacrificing the view of the products behind the screen. Imagine a store window where a vibrant ad plays on a transparent screen, but customers can still see the merchandise clearly. This creates a dynamic and engaging shopping experience while allowing the store to display information, promotions, or brand storytelling in a more interactive and immersive way.

Corporate Environments and Lobbies

Corporate spaces, conference rooms, and lobbies can also benefit from LG’s Transparent LED. These installations can be used to display important information, brand messaging, or media content, all while preserving the open feel of the space. The transparency feature is especially useful in large, open spaces where you want to maintain visibility and aesthetics without sacrificing the functionality of a display.

Transportation Hubs

Airports, train stations, and subway systems are some of the most bustling environments where clear, real-time information is critical. LG’s Transparent LED could be used in these spaces for dynamic signage and wayfinding. The transparency allows passengers to see through the display, ensuring that the area remains visually open, while the screen serves its purpose of providing essential information.

Smart Buildings and Windows

One of the most exciting potential applications is the use of transparent displays as smart windows in homes and offices. Imagine looking out of your window and being able to view dynamic content—news, weather, or interactive media—without any interruption to the natural light or view. This concept could transform the way we design buildings and homes, creating intelligent, multi-functional spaces that adapt to our needs.

Museum and Art Installations

In cultural and art institutions, Transparent LED can bring art to life in new ways. By integrating the transparent display technology into exhibits, museums can offer layered experiences where the display enhances the artwork without detracting from the overall aesthetic. It allows curators to tell more compelling stories with mixed media, projections, and digital elements.

Automotive Industry

The automotive industry is also exploring the use of transparent displays in cars. LG’s Transparent LED can be used to create interactive dashboards, heads-up displays, or even entire windshields.

Conclusion

LG’s Transparent LED represents a leap forward in display technology, offering unparalleled versatility and wow factor. As businesses and industries continue to look for innovative ways to communicate and engage with audiences, transparent LED technology will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping the next generation of visual communication.

Whether you’re in retail, transportation, or design, this technology has the power to elevate your space while maintaining an open, engaging, and interactive environment. Welcome to the transparent revolution!

Decoding LG’s Commercial Display Lineup: Made Easy

by | Nov 19, 2024 | Business Development, Pro Displays, Uncategorized

When it comes to selecting the right commercial display, LG has a vast range of models that can feel overwhelming at first glance. With constant innovation and upgrades, navigating this lineup can seem complex. But don’t worry—once you crack the code behind LG’s model naming conventions, choosing the perfect display becomes a breeze. Let’s break it down so you can decode LG’s commercial displays like a seasoned pro!

Below, you’ll find practical tips to help you navigate LG’s commercial display lineup. Whether you’re specifying displays for a project, finding a model that fits your budget, or overcoming inventory challenges by identifying suitable alternatives, these tips will make the process simpler. While the details may change from time to time, these rules of thumb have proven to be consistently helpful, and I hope they are for you too!

Note: These tips apply to LG’s standard commercial display lineup. Other product categories, like Commercial Lite (TV), touchscreen displays, and DvLED screens, have their own naming conventions. We’ll cover those another time!

Step One: Size It Up

The first two digits in any LG commercial display model indicate the display size (in inches). For example:

  • 86UH5E: The “86” tells you it’s an 86-inch display.
  • 49ULJ5: The “49” signals a 49-inch display.

Pretty simple, right? Once you spot those first two numbers, you know the screen size.

Step Two: Understand the Series

The next two letters in the model number tell you about the display’s performance level:

  • UH: These are high-end models, offering premium features like higher brightness levels (500–700 nits) and versatile orientation options (landscape and portrait modes).
  • UM: Mid-tier models. These may have slightly lower brightness or fewer orientation options but still deliver solid performance.
  • UL: These are entry-level models—Less bells and whistles but still dependable and more affordable.

Step Three: Brightness Levels

The first number after the series code indicates brightness—a crucial factor based on the display’s environment:

  • 5: 500 nits, ideal for standard indoor settings.
  • 7: 700 nits, great for areas with more ambient light, like storefronts.
  • 3: 300 nits, suitable for controlled lighting environments.

Step Four: Model Variations

Next, you’ll often see one or two additional letters. These represent minor differences between models, like the version of webOS the display uses or slight dimensional variations. While these may seem small, they can be key depending on your specific application.

example specs of display modelsFor example, you can quickly tell that the 75UL has fewer features than the 75UH just by the “UL” in the model number. Meanwhile, comparing the 75UH5J-M to the 75UH5E-B, you’ll notice the differences are minor. However, changes like the webOS version could make or break your project, so always double-check the specs before finalizing your choice!

Decoder Key:

  • First two digits: Display size in inches.
  • Next two letters: Performance tier (UH = high-end, UM = mid-tier, UL = Less features/ entry-level).
  • First number after the letters: Brightness level (e.g., 5 = 500 nits).
  • Last few letters: Minor model variations (e.g., webOS version or specific features).

Now that you’ve got the basics down, decoding LG’s commercial display models is a piece of cake! Whether you’re setting up a high-end digital signage solution or finding a reliable mid-range option, you can confidently choose the right display for your needs.

LCD vs DVLED: Choose the Right Technology for the Right Application

by | Nov 7, 2024 | DVLED, Pro Displays, Uncategorized, Video Walls

In a world where Direct View LED (DVLED) is becoming the dominant technology for new video wall installations, does the multi-display LCD video wall still have a place?

Recently, I encountered several instances where clients were interested in DVLED walls but found that a multi-display LCD wall was a better fit for their application. One such case involved a sports bar, and I want to detail why we chose LCD over DVLED in this instance.

LCD display example
direct view led example
AIO dvLED

The sports bar client was initially interested in a 1.88mm pixel pitch 163” all-in-one DVLED display which can be a great choice to get a large, bright, full HD (1920 x 1080) display in a relatively compact and cost-effective form. video wall All-in-one DVLED displays are a great option as they do not require external LED controllers/sender units to operate since all the required components are built into the unit, so it functions like a standard monitor, and there are typically several predefined sizes to work in various environments.  The other option for DVLED is a custom video wall solution. Custom DVLED walls are a good option when you have an application requiring a specific size display, atypical aspect ratio, or need specific resolutions or brightness levels.  Custom DVLED allows the user the broadest choice in selecting products to meet the needs of their individual application, but generally requires a more complex installation using external LED controllers/sender units.

low resolution imageIn this example, after talking with the client, it was determined that the better way to achieve their goals was to use LCD technology due to one primary factor, resolution.  The client stated that they wanted to have multiple unique images on the display simultaneously, up to 9 different sporting events or advertisements on the wall at any given time. While it is possible to show the required number of images on the DVLED display using external video processing, the resolution of each image would end up being very low using the DVLED display discussed.

In the sports bar example, if we created 9 images on the 163” 1920 x 1080 resolution display, each image would be approximately 54.3” diagonal and have a resolution of 640 x 360 which is not ideal (see simulated images below).  This leaves us two options to explore to get a higher resolution individual image on the display wall, either go with a custom DVLED solution with a finer pixel pitch or change to an LCD display array.

LCD lo resolution
LCD hi resolution

If we went the custom DVLED path, we would need to use a sub 1mm pixel pitch to see a significant increase in resolution, as well as incorporate external video processing to create the multiple windows desired.  This would end up being cost prohibitive for the project.  If we change to a multi-display 55” LCD option, we can create a 3-display high by 3-display wide array of 9 total displays with the entire array being 165” 5760 x 3240 resolution, and each of the nine 55” images will have a 1920 x 1080 resolution which would be ideal.  Additionally, most commercial LCD displays designed for use in a video wall array application have a feature to allow you to create an image on the array of displays (or a subset of the array) that will span multiple monitors without the need for any external video processing equipment.  By changing to the LCD array, we were able to provide the client with not only the ability to show nine full HD resolution images on the array, but also being able to show one large image spanning the entire array or one enlarged image spanning four of the displays on the array and individual full HD images on the remaining five displays, and for a similar price point to the 163” all-in-one DVLED display.

9 panels
9 panels 1 image
9 panels mixed configuration

I wanted to highlight this use case to convey that the latest trends in technology aren’t always the best fit for a given application.  While DVLED has many advantages over LCD, such as, no bezel spacing between panels, greater ability to customize the physical layout, and higher available brightness levels, the end user needs should be evaluated for each project before the technology is considered for the application.  In this instance, the most important needs for the client were to have multiple high-resolution images on the display simultaneously and have the technology fit within the physical parameters of the chosen wall, so the LCD array was a better choice.

If you are considering a video wall for your next project, discuss these key factors with your design or integration partner to make sure you get the most appropriate technology for the application:

Desired content layout and usage

  • Do you just want one large image from a single source, or would you like to display multiple sources/images at the same time?
  • What type of content will you be showing primarily? (i.e., text/documents, video, construction plans, custom signage, etc.)
  • Will the display need to be running 24/7, or does this application only require periodic use and the ability to fully power down the system is desired?

Physical constraints of the space

  • Does the display need to fit within a certain area on a wall?
  • Are there any room constraints that need to be overcome? (i.e., poor light control in the desired location, power restrictions at the desired location, construction limitations at the desired location, cabling limitations, etc.)
  • Is the ceiling height sufficient to get the size of display needed for the application, or is a smaller primary display with additional repeater monitors within the room required to accommodate the audience?

Other considerations

  • How flexible is the technology budget for the room, does the display absolutely need to fit within a certain price range, or will the budget be determined based on the most appropriate technology for the space?
  • Are there any special requirements for the display? (i.e., We don’t want to see any bezel gaps on the display regardless of cost)
