Large-Format Displays
the source devices and the controllers
are co-located. " His biggest concern,
therefore, centers on exogeneous factors
like the broader economy, layoffs at tech
companies and murkiness about the future
of the office. " However, " Coxon says with
optimism, " place-based experiences are
still increasing, so the verticals may just
shift for a short time. "
In Conclusion
Leading integration businesses are leaning
into DVLED's continued ascent and corporate
clients' desire to attract people back
to the office with dazzling images, as well
as our society's collective hunger for the
immersive, technology-fueled experiences
we missed for two-plus years. Even with
some economists forecasting a possible
recession, most of our experts view the
next 12 months as an opportunity to
generate strong profits by integrating
videowalls, projection-mapping installations
and other large-format displays
across commercial verticals.
One thing that attracts Parker to the
category is its resilience against commoditization.
" I have a deep passion for
DVLED, " he enthuses. " You can't buy
it online; you don't see it sold in stores
GPO Display on What Truly
Differentiates Display Manufacturers
Large-format displays can transform any venue into a must-see destination.
However, the success of a display system is determined by what you can't see in
a finished installation. Displays' internal components, mounting and placement
within overall system design are all crucial.
At GPO Display, our origins as an OEM, designing and printing our own
boards, informs our process. We use the most dependable power supplies and
include the highest-quality scaler chips in our displays because we understand
that the viewer-facing component of a display (such as an LCD panel) doesn't
differentiate display manufacturers' hardware - it's the quality and dependability
of backend electronics.
We take a project-based approach, taking note of the unique parameters of
installation spaces, along with end users' desires and expectations. This helps us
make informed recommendations about unseen, and even intangible, aspects of
display systems like mounts, security and regulatory compliance. We also know
that a project doesn't end when installation is complete. Responsive after-sale
support is essential.
Integrators' feedback has informed the development of our lineup, along
with our one-of-a-kind videowall mounts. All our displays - from kiosks to
touchscreens - omit SMART TV functionality, and most are assembled here in the
United States, making our displays both TAA-compliant and " secure-ready. "
For over 12 years since GPO Display's founding, we have seen significant
changes in large-format displays. From the disappearance of seamless plasma
to the development of sub-1mm bezel gaps in LCD videowalls, one thing has
remained the same: The difference is made behind the scenes.
K-12 Education Offering Opportunity for Large-Format Video Displays
Soaring market demand for more robust and immersive
video experiences is creating opportunities to usher in a new

significantly more engaging learning environments.

locations ranging from school entrances and libraries to multipurpose
rooms.

IT savvy, proving that, to be successful in today's
environment, you must be bilingual in selling both to
the Academic Services side of the school district and to
the technology side - CTO, IT director or instructional
technology specialist. What's critical in a precarious
