Find the Right Display Technology

If you’re considering adopting a digital display to better engage your customers, employees, or visitors, selecting the perfect solution for your specific needs can be a challenge. That’s because you have several technologies to choose among, a wide range of features and benefits to assess, and different cost levels to evaluate. Let’s take a look at 7 KEY FACTORS to consider when choosing a display solution:Projectors use a lamp or laser to deliver an image of any shape to a screen or to almost any other surface. 

Projectors: Projectors use a lamp or laser to deliver an image of any shape to a screen or to almost any other surface.

LCD Displays: A liquid crystal display (LCD) uses LED backlights, a TFT Matrix, color filters and polarizing layers all within a transmissive panel technology to convert light to the images that are seen on the screen.

dvLED Displays: Direct view LED (dvLED) displays use individual lightemitting diodes to convert electricity into visible light to create an image.
