LED displays work similarly to LCDs, except instead of having fluorescent bulbs there are many Light Emitting Diodes behind the screen. These LEDs require very little electricity, and ones that are not needed can be turned off.
Another huge advantage of LED TVs over both plasma TVs and LCD TVs is the amount of power it consumes. It uses up to 70% less power than the other systems which over the course of a year or a TVs lifetime can lead to huge savings. It’s also important when you consider that as a whole we use up far too much energy and shortages could be possible in the future unless we do something about it.
The LEDs take up less space than the small fluorescent bulbs so the screens are noticeably thinner, and lighter. The modern technology and style of the LED TV certainly make…

Do you know which is better between these two. Both are looking same but under the bonnet the technology driving LCD TVs is very different from that driving Plasma TVs. These are the different between these two model. just look below.

Plasma

A plasma display consists of two plates of glass, sandwiched between which are hundreds of thousands of tiny, gas filled cells. These cells are rather like tiny flourescent tubes as they are filled with neon gas and coated with phosphor.
Each plasma cell can be individually energised with an electric current. This causes the gas to release ultraviolet photons. These photons cause the phosphor coating of the cell to radiate visible light. If the cells are switched on and off in the correct sequence, the picture is formed. This switching happens 1…

Contradictory news coming from the Far East. On one hand, BenQ’s Asia Pacific VP Danny Yao reported signs of decline on the market demand for LCD monitors. On the other hand, TCL announced the increase of 82.6% in the month of April. And Chimei reported that the shipments of LCD TVs are up 30% annually in Q1.

But what all agree is that the prices of panels are going to continue to rise in Q3, thanks to the tight supply.

As you can see from our Twitter feed, this week we have been heavily involved with forum discussion on the digital signage portal forum. We believe in generating “good” karma through helping others in the digital signage community.

The current hot topics are:

• Player & Screen resolution compatib…
  I’ve got a player that outputs (via dsub) resolution at most widescreen ratios ie. 1280×720, 1360×768, etc.

  My issue is with most, if not all, LCD TVs nowadays their tech sheets don’t support most widescreen ratios, with a lot of them displaying only 1360×768.

  What will happen if the designers create their templates for 1280×720?
  Will the TV crop it, show scroll bars, flicker?…

• Has anyone used Digital Signage SaaS?
  I was wondering whether anyone has used or is currently using Digital Signage SaaS? Could you please let share your experiences of what you’ve encountered when using this type of a solution…
  
  
• Directional Speakers
  Has anyone integrated directional speakers with their digital signage technology. We are interested to know how these systems work and whether they are worthwhile and cost effective equipment to include in a digital signage solution.

  What are the most common industries using directional speakers?

• Using Blue Ray technology
  Has anyone come across digital signage players with Blue Ray technology?

  Are storage size and HD quality the only advantages of using Blue Ray technology?
  
  

• Wayfinding KIOSKs
  Wayfinding KIOSKs are becoming more popular in shopping centers. Today, I was walking around a major shopping centre and noticed how wayfinding was integrated with digital signage… or is it the other way around?

If you have the time, or is able to help some of the other members with their questions then head over to the digital signage portal forum and start posting (registration is required)!! We hope more members of the digital signage community is able to participate in various discussions and contribute towards helping others.

In reply to jared, from my experience with all the LCD TVs that I have come across, 1360×768 seems to be the common resolution across all screen manufacturers, and then you get the other widescreen ratios at a higher resolution from 1600 and up.
So as a safe bet, I would say design for 1360×768 – assuming that your digital signage player is able to output that ratio (being pc based i’m sure all should), otherwise you may find your image distorting.

Others, feel free to provide your experiences….
