There is a reason why LED has become so popular.
Versatile
LED can be used in a wide range of applications, whether it’s a permanent installation or a short-term rental. LED can deliver when it comes to indoor broadcast backdrop, an outdoor mega screen, even creative digital signage canvases, with curves or column wraps, as well as transparent-in-window.
Scalable
LED screens are modular, they are made up of many individual panels which connect to create the screen size you need. Modular technology
means there are fewer restrictions on size and aspect ratio.
Affordable
Price has come down significantly. LED costs are now comparable to high-end projectors.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
LED lasts longer (100,000 hrs) than LCD and projector technologies, and is cheaper to run due to lower power consumption.
Seamless display
Ability to create videowalls of any shape and size with no bezels and regardless of ambient light.
Performance & Reliability
Performance and reliability have improved significantly – service calls and repairs have fallen drastically over the years (by 22%). The
technology has become a lot stronger with better panel protection.
Installation & Servicing
Installation and servicing have become easier. With more qualified installers, the technology is less complicated and more accepted.
Technology is improving
The growth of narrow pixel pitch displays (sub-2mm pixel pitch market growing at 27% p/a) is opening up all sorts of new applications. Trends like 5G and smart cities will also increase demand for LED.
Availability & Accessability
Most leading LCD manufacturers also produce LED panels. This has meant there is more choice and more available stock for system integrators.
Environmentally Friendly
Up to 20% more efficient due to reduced heat dissipation and power consumption. This has reduced running costs and is beneficial for the
environment.
