What are the Options?
LCD or Plasma – Flat Panel Displays

Video Wall Systems

Front or Rear Projection

LED – Light Emitting Diode

5

LCD Basics
 Discovered in 1888
 Replaced Cathode Ray Tubes
(CRT’s)
 More energy efficient than CRT
 Safe disposal (vs CRT or plasma)
 Typically a 16:9 flat panel display.
 Also used in many devices such
as: mobile
devices, televisions, computer
monitors, etc.

LCD Pro vs Con
 Pro




Relatively inexpensive
Easily sourced
Can be touchscreen

 Con







Not viewed as “special”
Wide bezel gaps
Locked into 16:9 aspect ratio
Relatively few sizes available
Limited maximum size


7

Projection Basics

 Reflected light system
 Can be front or rear projection
 Simplest explanation:





Light is projected through a color
wheel and then through a “chip”
Typically this “chip” is LCOS or DLP
Passes through projection lens to
the wall or a screen

Projection Pro vs Con
 Pro




Least expensive option for very large
display area
Easily sourced

 Con




Not ambient light tolerant
Requires “throw” distance
Expensive to maintain (blubs)

Video Walls Basics

 Tiles or Mosaic Displays




Self Contained Rear
Projection Units
Or other technologies

 LCD or Plasma


10

Video Walls Pro vs Con
 Pro




High resolution
Great for “command center”
Can be touchscreen

 Con





Relatively short lifespan
Even “zero bezel” models
have black dividing lines
RPU modules are heavy


11

LED Display Basics

 Light Emitting Diode
 Brief History Original LED
developed in 1927
 First practical
developed in the 60’s
at G.E.


12

LED Display Pro vs Con
 Pro




Power efficiency
Unlimited maximum size
Long life

 Con



Initial investment cost
Relatively course resolution


13

LCD vs LED

LED

LCD
 Higher Resolution

 Bezel Gaps

 Resolution Dependent on
Pixel Pitch
 No Bezels

 Some types are heavy

 Difficult to calibrate and
maintain

 Lightweight
 Streamlined calibration
and low-maintenance


14

Projection vs LED

Projection

LED

 Lowest upfront cost

 Higher price point

 Requires light-controlled
room, NO direct sunlight

 Can out-perform ambient light

 Front Projection – Requires
unimpeded light path to screen

 No space required behind
display, or in front of display

 Rear Projection – Requires “throw
distance” behind screen

 Low maintenance – No bulbs
to replace and a lifecycle of
over 10 years with good
technology

 Lots of bulbs to replace!


15

Video Walls vs LED

Video Walls

LED

 Heavy

 Lightweight

 Thick and bulky

 Thin

 Visible gaps between
units

 No bezels or gaps

 Complications with
uniformity between units –
especially in aging models

 A display of any size is
one unit, meaning uniform
image 100% of the time.

Is LED for You?
 Ask yourself:




How far away is your
expected viewer? Are they
expected to be near?
Does your application need
to be touchscreen?
