Quite a number of Shopping Centres are now installing LED screens suspended from the ceiling and I’m quite intrigued as to what was involved with installing such a complex and large screen.

Here’s the image in the Darling Harbour Shopping Centre in Sydney Australia:

The following klip was submitted by Danny from Sydney Australia. The klip shows a large LED screen in the food court area in Westfields Pitt Street Mall Australia. It appears LED screens in shopping centres are becoming more popular.

The Westfields in Pitt Street was officially opened at the end of last month and so far has received quite a lot of attention. There is more than 100 fashion and food specialty stores will open for trade by Christmas, at what will be a world class retail and commercial precinct. I wonder how many are going to use digital signage for their stores.

Stores which will be opening are listed below -
General Pants
Hart & Heim
Henleys
Saxony
Sneakerology
Streetology

This weeks klips are pictures we took at the Easter Show Homebush Sydney Australia. This is actually the first time I attended the show and I couldn’t believe how many people where there and how big the show area was. I only spent a few hours there and only covered 1/4 of all the events.  continue reading »

Shopping centres attract over $8 million customers each week nationally, so when you have these pairs of eyes walking in the shopping centres who would want to have the biggest screen to attract the attention of these customers. Using digital signage for advertising in shopping centres is one of the biggest revenue making streams and obviously we know the reason why…. exposure. continue reading »

Say goodbye to LCD and Plasmas screens and let’s make way for the latest LED screen technology. You may have already started noticing that prices for LCD screens and Plasma screens have been dropping in the past few years and one of the many reasons for this is the introduction of the next screen technology “LEDs”. Now, your typical LED billboards have been around for quite some time now but now screen manufactures are developing screens for the home and for commercial purposes.

So today, we thought we’d look at some of the features of the Samsung LED HDTV and in particular the UN55B8000 (55″ 1080p LED HDTV). Firstly, you’ll probably have already noticed by the description that the screen is 55 inches – yes it’s big but also it’s ultra slim (1.2″ deep). The other great features about this unit is that it is environmentally friendly – it uses 40% less power consumption than the traditional LCD screens.

The other additional features is that it is Internet@TV capable, meaning it allows you to receive content via Yahoo!®, Flickr®, and other online TV Widgets on screen (would this be good enough for digital signage???). USB 2.0 Movie: Multi-Media Center makes it easy to watch movies, browse photos and listen to music on your TV. But wait, there’s more! Just say you feel like playing a game of chess or cooking instead of watching TV. Samsung Series 8 LED TV’s Content Library Flash feature lets you do just that. Enjoy hours of built-in entertainment features, then personalize it by adding content that’s available online. And downloading is easy. There’s so much you can do with te Series 8 LED TVs.

In terms of price… it’s not so bad, it’s actually only US$3,999.99 (who uses 1 cents these days?). Anyways, if you’re intending to capture your audience using the best picture quality – bright and clear images then look no further… LED is the way to go.

We would love to review this product when it hits Australia, so if someone from Samsung wants us to review the product send us an email to review@advertiseme.com.au

With the features of the Samsung LED UN55B8000 HDTV, what are your thoughts about using this as a digital signage player?

We came across an article that we thought our readers would be interested in reading. The article is about a new LED Billboard in Times Square which is officially the largest LED screen in the world.  For those techies they would love to have worked on this project as it uses some very interesting and the latest technologies. Just even looking at the pictures you’ll be amazed to the amount of grunt and gear the system uses to drive content to the LED screen.

Have a read of the article from Gizmodo and you’ll be amazed as well.

Our Question:
What’s the worlds largest LCD screen?
