How National Health Research Facilities Replaced Pop-Up Signage with ViewSonic Digital Kiosks

SOLUTION BRIEF

How National Health Research Facilities Replaced Pop-Up Signage with ViewSonic Digital Kiosks

Challenge

A national health research organization needed a better way to communicate with visitors, employees and vendors across more than 20 locations nationwide.

The existing setup relied on pop-up displays and traditional signage, which limited flexibility and created an inconsistent look from one facility to the next.

In place of that patchwork, the organization wanted a secure self-service system for its high-traffic lobbies, hallways and reception areas. It also wanted to improve wayfinding across its facilities and present a more modern, professional appearance nationwide.

Why Did ViewSonic Digital Kiosks Fit This Project?

Facility leaders needed a single platform that could handle day-to-day messaging and interactive self-service without relying on a mix of temporary displays. ViewSonic’s EP5542 digital ePoster kiosks deliver both in one system, offering interactive and static options that give facility managers one consistent platform to manage across every location.

The EP5542 also kept the deployment secure from outside interference. Content runs through the kiosk’s own built-in media player, with no external computer or device to connect. For additional peace of mind, the media player cradle is located behind a locked door to prevent tampering. 

What ViewSonic Solution Did They Deploy?

The organization deployed more than 200 ViewSonic® EP5542 55” Digital ePoster Kiosks across more than 20 facilities nationwide, in a mix of interactive and static configurations.

  • Interactive kiosks let visitors, employees and vendors access facility information, directions and announcements directly, without needing staff assistance.
  • Static kiosks handle high-visibility messaging, facility communications and wayfinding content in high-traffic areas.
  • The freestanding design gives every location a consistent, professional appearance, replacing pop-up displays and printed signage.

What Results Has The Organization Seen?

  • Centralized visitor, employee and vendor communicationsthrough digital messaging.
  • Improved wayfinding and navigation throughout facilities.
  • Reduced reliance on temporary signage and pop-up displays.
  • Created a more consistent, professional appearance across locations.
  • Enabled both interactive self-service and high-visibility static communications.

How a Southeastern University Replaced Aging Classroom Projectors with Direct View LED Displays in 50+ Classrooms

SOLUTION BRIEF

How a Southeastern University Replaced Aging Classroom Projectors with Direct View LED Displays in 50+ Classrooms

What Challenge Was This University Trying to Solve?

This major state university in the Southeast set out to upgrade its classroom experience and boost student engagement across its campus. For nearly 10 years, each classroom had relied on a single projector paired with a 120” screen.

Those projectors were beginning to fail, and both students and professors had started to complain about the aging setup. The university knew it was time for more than a like-for-like replacement. It wanted a display solution that would genuinely change how lessons landed in the room. 

Why Did the University Move from Projectors to dvLED Displays?

A single centered screen meant students at the edges and the back of the room never got a clear view, and failing projectors made that view dimmer every semester. Rather than buy another round of lamps and replacement units, the university chose to move to Direct View LED technology to truly upgrade its classrooms.

dvLED displays deliver bright, uniform images that hold up with the lights on, with no lamps or filters to replace. ViewSonic's All-in-One Direct View LED LDE136G-152 pairs that with a 100,000-hour rated LED lifespan and 600-nit brightness, a meaningful step up from a decade-old projector. 

What ViewSonic Solution Did They Deploy?

Working with a leading AV integrator, the university standardized on a three-display front wall for the 50+ classroom upgrade:

(2) ViewSonic® 136” LDE136G-152 All-in-One Direct View LED displays, one on each side of the front of the room

(1) ViewSonic 98” CDE9831 4K commercial display, mounted in the center between the two dvLED displays

The LDE136G-152 All-in-One Direct View LED display puts power, controls and image stitching directly inside the cabinets. It ships as a single SKU, which simplifies setup in the classroom. Glue-on-Board technology with IP54 and IK06 front protection helps the screen stand up to daily use in high-traffic classrooms, while hot-swappable front modules and included spare tiles streamline ongoing maintenance.

The CDE9831 commercial screen anchors the room with 4K resolution, 500-nit brightness and anti-glare glass. It’s rated for 24/7 operation to ensure constant reliability. Both products integrate with Crestron, Extron, AMX and Q-SYS control systems, letting campus AV teams manage every room from one central dashboard. 

Why Did the University Choose ViewSonic?

The university and their integrator partner chose ViewSonic over alternatives for three reasons: the range of display products ViewSonic offers, pricing versus the competition and ViewSonic's responsiveness to both the reseller and the end user.

Because ViewSonic's portfolio spans dvLED and commercial displays, the university sourced the entire front-of-room solution from one manufacturer and one trusted partner.

What Results Has The University Seen?

The result is a completely new and engaging classroom experience that everyone can see no matter where they’re sitting.

Students responded positively, not only seeing better but feeling that lessons were much more engaging.

Professors said the move from projectors to dvLED was even more of an upgrade than they had expected.

With 50+ classrooms complete, the three-display configuration now serves as the university's standard for future classroom refreshes. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Replace Classroom Projectors with dvLED Displays?

Projectors dim over time, need lamp and filter replacements and struggle in bright rooms. dvLED displays like ViewSonic's LDE136G-152 deliver 600-nit brightness with a 100,000-hour rated LED lifespan, so content stays bright and readable with the lights on and there's no lamp to replace.

What Display Setup Works for Large University Classrooms?

One proven approach is a three-display front wall with two 136” dvLED displays flanking a 98” 4K commercial display. A major state university in the Southeast deployed this ViewSonic configuration across 50+ classrooms so every student has a clear view regardless of their seat.

What Makes an All-in-One dvLED Display Practical for a Multi-Classroom Rollout?

All-in-One dvLED displays like the ViewSonic LDE136G-152 build power, controls and image stitching directly into the cabinets. They also ship as a single SKU with an included wall mount. Hot-swappable front modules and included spare tiles keep maintenance simple across a large fleet of rooms.

Can Universities Manage dvLED and Commercial Displays Through Existing AV Control Systems?

Yes. ViewSonic's LDE136G-152 dvLED display and CDE9831 commercial display both work with Crestron, Extron and AMX and integrate with the Q-SYS ecosystem, so campus AV teams can control power, volume and inputs across every classroom from one central location.

How a Financial Institution Transformed Its Boardroom with a 136” All-in-One Direct View LED Display

SOLUTION BRIEF

How a Financial Institution Transformed Its Boardroom with a 136” All-in-One Direct View LED Display

What Challenge Was This Financial Institution Trying To Solve?

This large financial institution's boardroom is where its most important conversations happen, and the existing display wasn't holding up its end. The institution wanted to replace it with a larger, brighter, more detailed presentation display worthy of the space. The project infrastructure had three hard constraints.

  1. The new display had to fit an existing recessed space that could accommodate up to 140”.
  2. It had to reach a fifth-floor location, which ruled out traditional large-format displays that can't be transported through elevators and corridors at that size.
  3. It had to be in stock or on site within 30 days. 

What ViewSonic Solution Did They Deploy?

Working with its AV integration partner, the firm chose the ViewSonic® All-in-One Direct View LED LDE136G-152. At 136", the screen filled almost every inch of the boardroom's 140" recessed wall.

The cabinet-based design also solved a major delivery headache. The team couldn't squeeze a giant, one-piece panel up to the fifth floor, so the system arrived in smaller cabinets. These modular units come with built-in power, controls and image stitching, meaning they went up on the wall quickly and fit together easily.

ViewSonic had the product in stock and ready to ship within the firm's tight 30-day window. Because the parts were so lightweight, they were easy to carry upstairs and didn't overload the boardroom wall. And with 600 nits of brightness and a 6,500:1 contrast ratio, the new screen helped keep presentations clear and readable even with ambient lighting.

  • Delivered and installed within the institution's 30-day window, in a 5th floor space traditional large-format displays couldn't reach. 

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do You Get A Large Display into an Upper-Floor Boardroom?

dvLED delivers a seamless image at sizes beyond what single-panel LCD can practically reach, with brightness that holds up in a lit room. The ViewSonic LDE136G-152 produces 600 nits of brightness and a 6,500:1 contrast ratio for greater clarity. Unlike a lamp-based projector, there’s no lamp or filter to replace.

Why Choose dvLED Over a Large LCD or Projector for a Boardroom?

A mobile dvLED display gives you premium large-format visuals without dedicating a permanent room to the technology. Schools and businesses can roll a single display between lecture halls, event spaces and collaboration areas rather than investing in several fixed installations.

Can a dvLED Display Fit An Existing Recessed Wall Space?

Yes. Because All-in-One dvLED displays install as slim, cabinet-based systems with an included wall mount, they can be sized to existing architectural spaces. This institution was able to fit a 136” LDE136G-152 into a recessed boardroom alcove built for up to 140”.

How Much Maintenance Does an All-In-One dvled Display Need?

Very little. The LDE136G-152's LEDs are rated for 100,000 hours, and if a module ever needs service, hot-swappable front modules and included calibrated spare tiles allow replacement in minutes from the front of the display, with no need to remove it from the wall.

A leading business school in the Northeastern United States opened a new building and set out to modernize its learning and collaboration spaces as part of a broader technology refresh. The school needed flexible, technology-driven environments that could support executive education, lecture-based instruction, student collaboration and special events.

Two requirements shaped the project. First, the school wanted a large-format Direct View LED display that could be deployed quickly for events, relocated as needed and stored when not in use, so classrooms and event spaces kept maximum flexibility. Second, classroom displays had to integrate with the campus's already existing Crestron-based AV infrastructure through reliable RS-232 control for centralized power, input switching, monitoring and automation.

Above all, the school wanted a standardized solution that delivered a consistent user experience across campus while keeping complexity low for its IT and AV support teams.

How a Global Beverage Enterprise Organization Uses Two ViewSonic LDS138-151 Displays to Cover an Entire Corporate Campus

SOLUTION BRIEF

How a Global Beverage Enterprise Organization Uses Two ViewSonic LDS138-151 Displays to Cover an Entire Corporate Campus

What Challenge Was This Enterprise Organization Trying to Solve?

This global beverage company has a large, multi-building corporate campus. Its main lobby and common areas needed a polished, professional way to greet visitors. The organization wanted a solution that could deliver welcome messages, real-time company news, branding videos and guest greetings that would make a strong first impression on clients.

Individual departments across the campus needed a large-format display for town halls, meetings, live event streaming and multi-language presentations. However, buying and installing a fixed display in every building wasn't practical.

Why Did an All-in-One, Mobile dvLED Fit This Project?

The team discovered ViewSonic's dvLED lineup at InfoComm and didn't formally evaluate other vendors. What stood out was the combination of an All-in-One design with no separate components to integrate and true portability that allowed it to travel between buildings.

The LDS138-151 glides on 360-degree wheels and its foldable design fits into most elevators. This feature helped the shared-display model work. A single unit could travel from the main lobby up into a different building's floor for a town hall, then move again the next week.

What ViewSonic Solution Did They Deploy?

The company has purchased two LDS138-151 138" All-in-One Mobile Direct View LED displays and is now evaluating additional units to use across the campus.

  • Both displays run digital signage in the main lobby and common areas: welcome messages, real-time company news, branding videos and guest greetings for visitors and clients.
  • The same two displays also travel across campus for internal meetings, town halls, internal events, presentations and live event streaming, wherever a department needs a large-format display that week.
  • Because both units are All-in-One and mobile, either one can move between signage duty and event duty as needed. That flexibility gives the campus continuous digital signage plus on-demand access to a large-format display for events, all from the same two units.

What Does the Deployment and Day-to-Day Use Look Like?

Because the LDS138-151 is All-in-One, there's no separate cabinet, power, processing or mounting system to coordinate between moves. Its foldable, mobile design lets it roll into most elevators and travel between buildings on its own motorized, height-adjustable stand. It then stores away in a custom flight case between uses, without needing reinstallation or recalibration each time it's used.

That's what makes the internal-rental model work: a department can reserve the display, have it rolled over and up to their floor and use it for a town hall or event. Then they can send it back, without the lead time or cost of specifying a new fixed display for each space.

What Results Has the Company Seen?

With two displays in rotation, the company covers two needs that would otherwise require separate hardware in every building. The setup delivers a consistently polished, professional visitor experience in its main common spaces, plus a flexible, shared large-format display resource that departments can book for meetings, town halls, internal events and presentations.

The company is now considering purchasing additional LDS138-151 units to extend the same shared-display approach to more of the campus.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Mobile All-in-One dvLED Display, and Why Do Large Campuses Use Them?

A mobile All-in-One dvLED display, like ViewSonic's LDS138-151, integrates cabinets, power, processing and mounting into a single foldable unit that can be rolled between rooms or buildings and set up in minutes without a system integrator. Large, multi-building campuses use them to serve more than one space with a single display asset, instead of installing separate fixed displays everywhere they might be needed.

Can a Large dvLED Display Fit in a Standard Elevator?

Yes, with the right design. The ViewSonic LDS138-151 has folding sides that let it collapse down to fit into most elevators, which is what allows a single 138" display to move between floors and buildings on a multi-building campus instead of staying fixed in one location.

What Is the ViewSonic LDS138-151 Used for?

The LDS138-151 is used for both digital signage in lobbies and common areas (welcome messages, news, branding videos) and as a shared, movable display for internal events like town halls, meetings and live-streamed presentations across multiple buildings or floors.

What Are the Benefits of an All-in-One dvLED Display for Corporate Campuses?

An All-in-One dvLED display removes the need to separately source and integrate cabinets, power, processing and control. This means it can be deployed, moved and reused across multiple spaces without a new system design each time. For a multi-building campus, that means one display, on wheels and elevator-ready, can support both permanent signage and rotating internal events, rather than requiring dedicated hardware in every room.

How Many Mobile dvLED Displays Does a Large Campus Need?

It depends on how many use cases need to run at once. Some organizations start with a single mobile dvLED display and add more as demand grows, since each additional unit is still All-inOne and doesn't require new system integration. In this case, the customer started with two LDS138-151 units. They used one for lobby signage and another for events. The company is now evaluating additional units to extend that same coverage further across the campus.

How a Global Event Production Company Uses ViewSonic LDS138-151 Displays as a Flexible Video Solution Across Events

SOLUTION BRIEF

How a Global Event Production Company Uses ViewSonic LDS138-151 Displays as a Flexible Video Solution Across Events

What Challenge Was This Company Trying to Solve?

This organization is a global event production and audio-visual services company that delivers live event technology for its clients. This includes presentations, meetings, hotel meeting space rentals and tradeshow booths, often in the same week and sometimes the same day.

Rather than needing a single display type for one permanent space, the company needed a video screen that could keep up with its event calendar. The same unit might anchor a keynote on Monday, act as ballroom signage on Wednesday and sit in a tradeshow booth on Friday.

Buying and staging different hardware for each of those formats wasn't practical for a business that had to move fast and stay flexible from client to client.

Why Did an All-in-One, Mobile dvLED Fit This Project?

The team wanted a single display asset that wasn't locked into one type of event or one type of space. They were looking for something that could move with the business instead of sitting in a warehouse waiting for the right job.

An All-in-One mobile dvLED display fit that need well. Because it's self-contained and travels on its own wheeled stand, the same unit can go from a corporate presentation to a hotel meeting space to a tradeshow floor without being reconfigured or rebuilt for each format. That turns one piece of equipment into a flexible asset the company can point at whatever event needs it that week.

What ViewSonic Solution Did They Deploy?

The company deployed multiple 138" ViewSonic® LDS138-151 All-in-One Mobile Direct View LED displays to its event and rental fleet.

  • The displays are used as a high-profile video screen for presentations, meetings and general sessions one week, then redeployed as signage for a hotel meeting space rental the next.
  • They're also brought to tradeshows as a standalone display or folded into a larger production, anchoring a booth or stage as one part of a bigger build. ViewSonic Americas — Event Production Brief
  • Because every unit shares the same All-in-One design, the fleet can shift to match demand across event formats instead of keeping separate, dedicated hardware on hand for each type of event.

For the full specs and product details of our latest generation mobile dvLED: ViewSonic LDS136-152.

What Does the Deployment and Day-to-Day Use Look Like?

Because the LDS138-151 is all-in-one, the same unit works the same way no matter whichcevent it's headed to next. It folds down, rolls in on 360-degree wheels, sets up on its own motorized, height-adjustable stand, then packs back into its custom flight case.

That consistency is what lets the display move across such different event types. A unit running a corporate general session on Monday can be signage in a hotel ballroom by Wednesday and part of a tradeshow booth the following week, without ever needing to be a different piece of equipment for each job.

For the full specs and product details of our latest generation mobile dvLED: ViewSonic® 136-152

What Results Has the Company Seen?

The company now has one flexible display format that covers a wide range of what it produces: presentations and meetings, hotel signage rentals, and tradeshow builds, instead of maintaining separate hardware for each. That flexibility lets the fleet move to wherever demand is that week rather than sitting idle between jobs suited to only one format.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Mobile All-in-One dvLED Display, and Why Do Event Production Companies Use Them?

A mobile All-in-One dvLED display, like ViewSonic's LDS138-151, integrates cabinets, power, processing and mounting into a single foldable unit that rolls into place and sets up in minutes. Event production companies use them because a single unit can serve presentations, signage and tradeshow builds alike, instead of requiring different display hardware for each event type.

How Does a Mobile dvLED Display Support Different Types of Events With the Same Hardware?

Because it's self-contained and easy to move, the same mobile dvLED unit can function as a presentation screen one day, hotel meeting space signage the next, and a tradeshow display after that, all without being reconfigured or rebuilt for each format. It also packs into its own movable case between events, so it's easy to store when it's not on the road.

Can a Mobile dvLED Display Be Used for Tradeshows and Hotel Meeting Spaces?

Yes. Because it's foldable and travels on 360-degree wheels in its own flight case, a mobile dvLED display like the LDS138-151 can easily move between hotel ballrooms, meeting spaces and tradeshow floors.

What Is the ViewSonic LDS138-151 Used for?

The LDS138-151 is used as a large-format video screen across a wide range of event formats: presentations, meetings, general sessions, hotel signage rentals and tradeshow displays.

How Does a Mobile dvLED Display Fit Into a Full Event Production, Not Just a Single Screen?

Because it's self-contained, a mobile dvLED display can be one element of a larger production, staging, lighting and audio included, without requiring its own dedicated rigging crew, which frees up production time for the rest of the build.

How a Global Enterprise Replaced Conference Room Projectors with All-in-One dvLED Displays

SOLUTION BRIEF

How a Global Enterprise Replaced Conference Room Projectors with All-in-One dvLED Displays

What Challenge Was This Enterprise Trying to Solve?

This enterprise wanted to reimagine a heavily used, shared conference center at one of its corporate campuses. The space is built around movable partitions (slider walls) that let staff open up adjoining rooms and combine them into one larger venue.

The center's existing projectors were dated, both in image quality and in the amount of upkeep they required to keep looking good. Leadership wanted a genuine “wow factor” for a room this visible and this heavily booked: a modern, high-impact look paired with a display that didn't need constant attention to stay that way.

Why Did an All-in-One dvLED Display Fit This Project?

As part of its evaluation, the company compared ViewSonic's All-in-One dvLED display against a competing dvLED product from another manufacturer. ViewSonic's solution held up reliably and delivered the high-impact look the company wanted for a flagship meeting space.

That side-by-side comparison settled the decision. The company needed a display technology reliable enough for a room in constant use by many different teams, and durable enough to hold up to the moves, re-staging and heavy day-to-day traffic that come with a shared, high-turnover meeting space with movable walls. ViewSonic's dvLED proved out on both counts.

What Role Did Maintenance Play in the Decision?

Maintenance turned out to be just as important as image quality. The company wanted a display that looked new and modern from day one, and one it could set up once and stop thinking about, not something that needed regular attention to keep looking that way.

The LDM163-182 delivered on both fronts. Its All-in-One Direct View LED technology gives the room a sharper, more modern look than the previous setup, and it needs very little ongoing maintenance to maintain that look over time. If something does go wrong, the LDM163's front-serviceable design lets a technician access and replace an individual module from the front of the display, without pulling down or replacing the entire unit. The LDM163 also carries IP and IK ratings, adding a layer of protection against dust, impact and accidental damage in a high-traffic areas.

What ViewSonic Solution Did They Deploy?

The company installed five ViewSonic® LDM163-182 displays across the conference center. There was one 163" All-in-One Preconfigured Direct View LED unit for each room that was connected by the slider-wall system.

  • Each display delivers a single, high-impact visual presence with a modern, sharp look suited to a flagship conference environment.
  • As an All-in-One dvLED display, the LDM163-182 integrates its cabinets, power, processing and mounting as a single preconfigured system, which simplified an install across five rooms rather than five separate custom builds.
  • Unlike the room's old projectors, the dvLED display's brightness holds up regardless of ambient light, so image quality doesn't dip when shades are open or the lights are on.
  • Front-serviceable access means any issue can be addressed by servicing an individual module from the front of the display, without removing or replacing the entire unit.

What Does the Deployment Look Like?

The install is notably clean: rather than running visible cabling along walls or floors, the installation team routed cabling up into the ceiling, keeping each room's finished look uncluttered and consistent with the rest of the corporate campus.

Each of the five rooms functions independently for smaller meetings, and opens into the adjoining rooms via the slider walls for larger, all-hands-style sessions. That flexibility scales the space from a single 100-person room up to a combined 300–500-person space, with a dvLED display anchoring each segment.

What Results Has the Company Seen?

The conference center now has the visual impact the company was looking for: a consistently sharp, vivid, modern image across every room, with none of the cable clutter that would have undercut the space's finished look. It also replaces the motorized screens the old projector setup required, since each dvLED display installs directly with nothing to lower or retract.

Just as important, the choice has held up in practice. The displays continue to perform reliably under constant, high-traffic use, validating the outcome of the company's side-by-side evaluation against the competing dvLED product.

Maintenance overhead has dropped too. The displays need very little day-to-day upkeep, freeing facilities staff from the routine maintenance the previous setup demanded.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is an All-in-One dvLED Display Used for in a Corporate Conference Room?

An All-in-One dvLED display is typically used as the main presentation screen in high-visibility or high-traffic conference spaces, giving the room a brighter, more modern, more consistent image that holds up under frequent use.

Why Are Companies Upgrading to dvLED Displays in Conference Rooms?

Companies are moving to dvLED for the combination of a sharper, more modern look and far less ongoing maintenance than older display technology required. For flagship meeting spaces, that upgrade in both appearance and upkeep is a major draw.

What Maintenance Does an All-in-One dvLED Display Need?

Very little. Once installed, an All-in-One dvLED display is largely a set-it-and-forget-it solution, with far less ongoing maintenance than older display technology required to keep its image quality consistent. All ViewSonic dvLEDs carry IP and IK ratings for real-world environments, which helps cut down on downtime and service calls from accidental damage.

What Happens if Something Goes Wrong With a dvLED Display After It's Installed?

ViewSonic's All-in-One dvLED displays are front-serviceable, so a technician can access and replace an individual module directly from the front of the display, without removing or replacing the entire unit. Each ViewSonic dvLED also ships with factory-calibrated spares, so a replacement module matches the rest of the display right out of the box.

How Does an All-in-One dvLED Design Compare to Other dvLED Products on Reliability?

Reliability can vary significantly across dvLED products, and companies evaluating options for high-traffic spaces often run side-by-side comparisons before deciding. ViewSonic's All-in-One dvLED displays feature a preconfigured system with integrated cabinets, power, processing and mounting in a single setup. This helps reduce the points of failure seen in less integrated solutions.

How a National Retailer Replaced Third-Party Docking Stations with ViewSonic Docking Monitors

SOLUTION BRIEF

How a National Retailer Replaced Third-Party Docking Stations with ViewSonic Docking Monitors

What Challenge Was This Organization Trying to Solve?

This organization had standardized on the same monitor setup for years, and as it prepared to move into a new corporate office, it saw an opportunity to rethink that standard rather than simply replicate it in the new space.

The existing setup relied on third-party docking stations to connect each desk's monitor, keyboard, mouse and peripherals to a laptop, one more component to source, manage and eventually replace. Moving into a new location gave IT a clean opportunity to consolidate that setup rather than carry the same multi-piece configuration into the new office.

Why Did ViewSonic's Docking Monitors Fit This Project?

The organization wanted a monitor that could replace the third-party dock outright, not just sit next to it. ViewSonic's VG2758-2K docking monitors build the dock into the monitor itself, so a single USB-C cable handles video, data and up to 100W of power delivery between the laptop and the monitor.

That consolidation also simplified the rollout. Because the whole setup connects in a clean daisy chain instead of a separate dock, IT could standardize the same configuration across every desk in the new office without a more complex, multi-vendor install.

What ViewSonic Solution Did They Deploy?

The retailer deployed ViewSonic® VG2758-2K docking monitors as the standard primary solution for every desk in its new corporate office (roughly 1,600 units). These were paired with a secondary VG2752-2K monitor at each desk, a matching partner to the VG2758-2K for a two-monitor setup.

  • VG2758-2K: 27" QHD (2560x1440) docking monitor with built-in 100W USB-C, RJ45 Ethernet and a 5-port USB hub, replacing the third-party dock at each desk.
  • A secondary VG2752-2K monitor, daisy-chained off the primary VG2758-2K over a single USB-C cable, giving every employee a standard two-monitor setup.
  • Daisy chain connectivity between the two monitors reduces cabling to one connection per desk rather than separate docks and cables for each monitor.
  • Between the two monitors, that's nine USB ports per desk for keyboard, mouse, phone charging and other peripherals, more than most docking stations offer.

What Does the Deployment Look Like?

Each desk in the new office is built around the same standard configuration. This includes a VG2758-2K connected to the user's laptop over a single USB-C cable that also delivers power and data, and a secondary VG2752-2K monitor daisy-chained off the primary over USB-C. There's no separate dock to source, connect to or eventually replace.

Because the configuration is identical at every desk, IT can deploy and support the setup the same way companywide, rather than troubleshooting a different dock and cable combination in every room.

The VG2758-2K's ergonomic stand empowered employees to adjust the setup to their ideal position so they could work for longer in greater comfort. Because of its intuitive design, the ergonomic stand also enabled monitors to be deployed faster.

What Results Has the Organization Seen?

The move was an opportunity to simplify rather than just relocate the old setup. Replacing the third-party dock with the monitor's built-in docking station has streamlined the workflow for both IT, which now manages one fewer component per desk, and employees, who connect with a single cable.

The standard two-monitor, single-cable setup is now deployed at every desk across the new corporate office, giving the organization a consistent, easy-to-support configuration instead of a patchwork of docks and cables accumulated over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a USB-C Docking Monitor, and Why Do Companies Use Them Instead of a Separate Dock?

A USB-C docking monitor has a docking station built into the monitor itself, so a single USB-C cable carries video, data and power between a laptop and the monitor. Companies use them to remove a separate docking station from the desk setup, which means one fewer component to buy, cable and eventually replace.

How Does Daisy Chain Connectivity Work for a Two-Monitor Desk Setup?

With daisy chain over USB-C, a secondary monitor connects through the primary monitor rather than running its own separate cable back to the laptop. This means that a two-monitor setup only needs one cable running to the user's laptop. USB ports on the second monitor work without needing an additional cable, something a DisplayPort daisy chain configuration can't do on its own.

Why Would a Company Moving to a New Office Change Its Standard Monitor Setup?

An office move is a natural point to reassess a standing hardware setup, especially when the existing configuration relies on components, like third-party docks, that add cost and complexity to every desk. Standardizing on a docking monitor at that point avoids simply recreating the same setup in a new location.

What Are the Benefits of Consolidating a Dock and Monitor Into One Device?

Consolidating a dock into the monitor reduces the number of components IT has to source, manage and replace at each desk, and it simplifies the connection for employees to a single cable. That tends to lower total cost of ownership compared with maintaining separate docks across an office.

How Many Monitors Can Be Part of a Single USB-C Daisy Chain Setup?

It depends on the specific monitors, cable configuration and laptop graphics card, but ViewSonic's docking monitors, including the VG2758-2K, support single-cable daisy chaining to a second monitor, making a standard two-monitor desk setup possible without any additional docking hardware.

How a Global Automotive Manufacturer Uses a 231” All-in-One dvLED Display to Power Plant-Floor Safety and Communication

SOLUTION BRIEF

How a Global Automotive Manufacturer Uses a 231” All-in-One dvLED Display to Power Plant-Floor Safety and Communication

What Challenge Was This Manufacturer Trying to Solve?

As part of a major investment to modernize one of its manufacturing facilities, this automotive manufacturer set out to build a new kind of on-floor safety and education station: a dedicated zone on the plant floor where new employees would be trained on safety protocols and all employees would stay current on policies and procedures.

Beyond compliance, the company wanted the space to reinforce a positive floor culture, with room to post recognition and motivational content alongside safety and production updates. The goal from the start was to build a model that could be replicated at other facilities across its manufacturing network.

Why Did an All-in-One dvLED Display Fit This Project?

The company had an existing relationship with ViewSonic across other display categories and brought that same partner in to help design the floor's centerpiece display. The organization needed a single, highly visible surface large enough to be read clearly from across a working manufacturing floor, and durable enough to hold up in a demanding industrial environment.

What ViewSonic Solution Did They Deploy?

The centerpiece of the new safety and education station is a ViewSonic® LDM231-251, a 231" All-in-One Preconfigured Direct View LED display, housed in a custom-built rack positioned to tower above the floor's marked safety zone.

  • The display delivers highly visible, frequently updated content: safety protocols, training material, production and quality updates, and recognition or motivational content for the floor.
  • Its scale and placement mean the content is readable from across the working floor, not just up close, which is an achievement a smaller or standard commercial display couldn't match in the same environment.
  • As an All-in-One dvLED display, the LDM231-251 integrates its cabinets, power, processing and mounting as a single system, simplifying what would otherwise be a far more complex install for a display of this size.

What Does the Deployment Look Like?

The display is mounted in a custom-built rack designed specifically to position it above the taped safety zone, so it's the first thing employees and visitors see when they enter the floor. That elevated placement, combined with the display's size, is what makes the content visible across a large, active manufacturing floor rather than only to people standing directly in front of it.

What Results Has the Company Seen?

Employees and visitors entering the floor now see the large dvLED display towering above the safety zone immediately, reinforcing that safety and quality information is front and center rather than buried on a bulletin board or a standard monitor. It gives floor managers a way to keep the whole team current on safety, quality and production status at a glance.

The same screen also gives floor leaders an easy way to share recognition and motivational content alongside safety and production updates, reinforcing the positive floor culture the company set out to build.

The station is being considered as a model to replicate at other facilities across the company's manufacturing network.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Large-Format dvLED Display Used for on a Manufacturing Floor?

A large-format dvLED display on a manufacturing floor is typically used to broadcast safety protocols, training content, production and quality updates, and company communications where they're visible to the entire floor at once, rather than relying on smaller screens or printed boards that only reach people standing nearby.

How Big of a dvLED Display Works for a Factory Safety and Training Zone?

It depends on the size of the floor and viewing distance, but manufacturers building a dedicated safety and education zone often use large-format displays, such as ViewSonic's 231" LDM231, specifically so content stays readable from across an active floor rather than only up close.

What Makes an All-in-One dvLED Display Durable Enough for a Manufacturing Environment?

ViewSonic's All-in-One dvLED displays use protective-first design, including GOB (Glue-onBoard) surface treatment and IP and IK-rated protection, built to withstand dust, impact and heavy daily use in industrial and other high-traffic environments, not just controlled office settings.

Can One Large dvLED Display Serve Both Safety Training and General Company Communications?

Yes. Because a large-format All-in-One dvLED display can update its content instantly, the same screen can rotate between safety training material, real-time production or quality updates, and recognition or motivational content, without needing separate dedicated displays for each purpose.

AV Integrator Partners with ViewSonic to Help Customers Manage Enterprise-Wide Installations

SOLUTION BRIEF

AV Integrator Partners with ViewSonic to Help Customers Manage Enterprise-Wide Installations

In the business for over 25 years, this AV professional had become expert at meeting the needs of companies big, small, and everything in between. Being good at what he did meant constantly educating himself on technologies, manufacturers, and business trends. His approach as an industry veteran who had run his own business for many years was to provide comprehensive, integrated solutions whenever possible. By standardizing on a specific brand, customers could expect simplified purchasing, deployment, management, and support – all of which added up to greater efficiencies and reduced costs.

When a company needed a single solution, say a welcome kiosk for their lobby or a large wireless display for a meeting room, he would show them the range of the top brands. Often, they ended up with ViewSonic products based on factors ranging from unique features to price and support. When companies came to him for advice on larger-scale projects – which could be a mix and match of meeting rooms, training facilities, executive offices, huddle spaces, multipurpose rooms, lobby signage, the cafeteria and/or desktop monitors – ViewSonic was his go-to partner. He had learned over the years that he could count on ViewSonic to provide a wide range of products to choose from in each category, along with outstanding device management software created with busy IT administrators in mind.

ViewSonic offered a comprehensive solution, for example, when the IT director at a specialty packaged goods manufacturer needed to replace a fleet of end-of-life workstation displays while also outfitting the company’s various-sized meeting rooms with up-to-date display technology, and adding digital signage for wayfinding and brand enhancement in the lobby and cafeteria. The hardware was just part of the picture; the IT director needed to find solutions that would be easy to manage, as he would not be allocated additional staff to manage these new assets.


As anticipated from the respected brand, the specifications were outstanding: ultra-HD resolution, high brightness, slim designs, and quality construction all around – from the desktop monitors and huddle space interactive displays to the giant commercial-grade displays he was considering for the lobby and cafeteria.


The AV pro informed the harried IT director that ViewSonic not only offered a range of great product options to meet these needs, they also provided robust device management software. A skeptic, who was not at all happy that he would need to take on these additional displays with no added staff, the IT director wanted to first understand the software.

The AV consultant walked him through ViewSonic® myViewBoard ManagerTM Advanced cloud-based solution, with which he would be able to control all critical aspects of the various displays from an intuitive interface on his laptop. For example, from this one centralized location he could power the displays on/off, install or remove apps, execute updates and even plan and advance-schedule tasks for specific times as one-off or recurring events. He could implement the same commands for all displays or segment the displays into separate groups – sending updates to those displays, pushing different multimedia content to the lobby and cafeteria displays, or sending training videos to the handful of huddle spaces where new employees were being brought on board. The software offered a multitude of ways to manage for efficiency, and was adaptable enough to meet any foreseeable circumstances, including facilitating live and multimedia emergency alerts.

The IT director also appreciated the user management features, which would allow his department to maintain system security within the program by managing user access to various features and devices. He and his team would be able to easily maintain and control the different panels based on the needs of various employees while keeping the system running smoothly. Finally, the system backup and restore feature would provide great peace of mind.

Next, they reviewed the functional components of the ViewSonic® ViewBoard® interactive displays. First, the consultant noted that the displays were compatible with Microsoft to provide the best Microsoft Office 365 and Team collaboration experience. The myViewBoard suite of embedded tools was comprehensive and ranged from the basic, like annotation and highlighting tools, to the advanced, such as the ability to record and save sessions, including notes and audio. Designed to easily connect distributed teams, the ViewBoard displays supported seamless collaboration with popular solutions like Intel UNITE, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Cisco Webex, and more. The flexible web interface would allow multiple users to easily share to the ViewBoard screen with team members. The embedded vCast software was designed to make it easy for users to share content. Finally, a Windows slot-in PC was available to deliver advanced functionality.

The consultant said, ViewSonic could deliver a complete turnkey solution for the company’s collaboration spaces. Additional ViewSonic products available to round out the collaboration ecosystem included optional mobile carts, webcams, speakerphones and more.

Convinced by the functional backbone of the integrated ViewSonic solution, the IT director was ready to look at the hardware. As anticipated from the respected brand, the specifications were outstanding: ultra-HD resolution, high brightness, slim designs, and quality construction all around – from the desktop monitors and huddle space interactive displays to the giant commercial-grade displays he was considering for the lobby and cafeteria.

Expecting desktop displays to be the least exciting of the tech they reviewed, the IT manager was pleased to learn that ViewSonic monitors offered enterprise customers unique, cost-saving options. Of particular interest to him were the dual-pack monitor heads, which reduced waste and would save his department time and expense when meeting the needs of dual-monitor users. Shipped in minimized, bio-degradable, paper-based packaging, this bundle also supported the company’s sustainability efforts. Single-monitor stands were smartly designed to offer ergonomic comfort and easy connectivity.

When the project was complete, the IT director thanked his AV consultant for the trouble-free installation of the ViewBoard interactive displays and commercial signage. He further thanked him, profusely, for steering him towards the ViewSonic solutions. Deployment of the displays had gone particularly well, thanks to the myViewBoard Manager software’s support for batch enrollment to expedite mass device setup.

When next he heard from the IT director, the AV pro was pleased to hear that everything was humming along smoothly. The IT director was making great use of the capabilities offered by myViewBoard Manger Advanced to streamline processes and enhance security and was grateful supporting these new display assets without additional staff was nowhere near the burden he had anticipated.

ViewSonic Meeting Room Solution Adds Efficiency and Collaboration at New Company Headquarters

SOLUTION BRIEF

ViewSonic Meeting Room Solution Adds Efficiency and Collaboration at New Company Headquarters

Founded in 2014, and having reached its current level of nearly 2,000 employees just prior to the start of the pandemic, this logistics management technology company had outgrown its first home. During the work-from-home days, the founders began looking for new headquarters. Historically a culture that relied on creative and strategic team meetings, they had the foresight to plan the collaboration spaces in their new headquarters based on space planning best practices for their type of business.

The suggested ratio was one meeting space for every 10-20 employees. To avoid underutilized space, the recommendation was to avoid mid-sized rooms that were too small or two big for meetings of no more than four people, which account for up to 75% of meetings. The recommended sweet spot was rooms of around 150-200 square feet with seating up to six. Most of their 150 rooms would be this type of space. Finally, they planned to include two large boardrooms that could comfortably seat up to 20. These spaces would be used for more formal meetings like client presentations, executive meetings, training sessions, and employee onboarding.

To accommodate the varied types of meetings that would be held in these rooms, the founders tasked the IT team with sourcing display technology that would enable interactive collaboration, easy content sharing, and efficient hybrid meetings. In addition to seeking reliable display hardware, the IT team was looking for a solution that would facilitate efficient management of the many displays.


Employees found the display features easy to use, and appreciated the many ways they could enhance collaboration and information sharing – such as the ability to annotate on top of any content, record and share sessions, and easily connect users both in the room and joining remotely. As construction of the new building neared completion, the company purchased ViewSonic ViewBoard displays and scheduling panels for their 150 meeting rooms and two boardrooms.


Furthermore, they planned to recommend that the company invest in an improved meeting scheduling system to enable easy and efficient use of the new spaces. As they had grown to over-capacity in their original company headquarters, surprisingly, meeting rooms often sat empty due to scheduling miscommunications and overall frustration, despite high demand.

The IT team met with their reseller representative, who showed them products from several brands. Among them, the ViewSonic® ViewBoard® interactive displays provided an ideal set of features for the price-point, compared to the competitive alternatives. They additionally were pleased with the ability to achieve an integrated single-source solution, using ViewSonic 10.1-inch scheduling panels.

Mounted outside each meeting room, the sleek scheduling panel would provide a touchscreen interface for the room scheduling software, visually signaling whether the room is available with a green or red halo light. Up close, users could interact with the touchscreen to discover details about the meeting in progress, or schedule the room. Other useful features included an echo- cancelling mic and speakers that enable two-way communication between those in the meeting and outside the door – a handy way for a receptionist
to announce a guest’s arrival, or for management to quickly resolve facility inquiries and reduce meeting space downtime. The door lock control would help prevent interruptions and uninvited guests, enabling facilities managers to regulate entry to meeting spaces Employees could easily reserve, release, check in, and check out of meeting spaces with their NFC or HID enabled company-issued badge, QR code, or HID mobile access app.

From an IT perspective, the powerful little displays offered state-of-the-art Power over Ethernet (PoE), which would enable easier one-wire installation, for a notable cost-savings across over 150 rooms. Small but mighty, it was an enterprise-grade secured solution that came with SCEP (Self Certificate Enrollment Protocol), Android Enterprise API, ISO27001, IEEE 802.1x and network encryption protection to ensure compatibility with enterprise-grade security requirements.

They chose the 55-inch ViewSonic ViewBoard IFP5550 interactive display for the company’s huddle rooms. The 86-inch ViewSonic ViewBoard IFP8662 offered an eye-catching, executive-sized platform with state-of-the-art hardware and design for the two boardrooms. Both had vibrant screens with smooth 20-point touch and provided an ideal canvas for collaboration and content sharing for remote and in-person users. Both had integrated microphone arrays with echo cancellation and noise reduction technology for clear speech and sound during video conferences. The included myViewBoard® digital whiteboarding software provided additional powerful user tools along with enterprise-level security and cloud-based portability, while the integrated vCast software would enable meeting attendees to easily share content.

The displays themselves were stunning and packed with features. But the IT also needed to ensure efficient management for the many installations. The subscription upgrade to myViewBoard ManagerTM Advanced delivered exactly what they needed. With it, they gained efficient centralized remote management of all important display functions. The desktop interface provided one-look troubleshooting and the ability to remotely manage apps, and the team could create device profiles for mass deployment and firmware upgrades, among other powerful management functions.

Importantly, the Manager Advanced software would also allow administrators to push multimedia messages to every display – or to select groups of displays. For example, if employee onboarding meetings were happening in the two boardrooms, they could send corporate videos to those select displays. The founders also plan to create quarterly update videos, which the IT team will push out to every display in the company, making for efficient all-company meetings.

A critical aspect of the broadcast feature was the ability to interface with a third-party emergency alert systems to deliver immediate CAP messaging, the XML-based Common Alerting Protocol that provides warmings about weather conditions and other urgent news. When sent as an urgent alert, the content would remain locked on the screens until removed by an admin.

Before making the purchase for their new headquarters, the company tested two ViewBoard displays and the Manger Advanced software, allowing employees to stop by and try them out. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive from both the users and the IT administrators who would be responsible for maintaining the displays. Employees found the display features easy to use, and appreciated the many ways they could enhance collaboration and information sharing – such as the ability to annotate on top of any content, record and share sessions, and easily connect users both in the room and joining remotely. As construction of the new building neared completion, the company purchased ViewSonic ViewBoard displays and scheduling panels for their 150 meeting rooms and two boardrooms.

Regional Mall Upgrades Store Directory to ViewSonic ePosters, with Profitable Results

SOLUTION BRIEF

Regional Mall Upgrades Store Directory to ViewSonic ePosters, with Profitable Results

The local property managers at this mid-size mall knew they were behind the times. Their static store listing and map was beyond outdated, and they were missing out on a host of business opportunities provided by digital signage. Grateful to be thriving in a time when many malls were floundering, it was time to implement a digital signage strategy.

The many objectives included:

  • Gain wayfinding parity with local competitors, while using the signage content to distinguish their brand
  • Deliver a digital directory that would enable shoppers to browse stores interactively and locate them on a three-dimensional map
  • Attract and maintain visitors with the modern interface and varied content
  • Provide advertising opportunities for tenants – a win-win in revenue generation for them both
  • The ability to broadcast important updates of interest to shoppers, like road closures, store openings, special events, and weather or urgent alerts
  • Customization of content based on display location and time of day
  • Data capture for use in fine-tuning content and developing a robust advertising platform

Customers entering the property routinely use the interactive directory. Randomized feedback from shoppers indicates that they notice and appreciate the informational backside of the kiosks. Food court items advertised on the adjacent digital kiosk have seen upticks in sales.


They were familiar with the types of available displays from looking at other similar properties and knew they wanted sleek, two-sided, free-standing kiosks. The interactive store directory would face the mall entryways; the other side would be used to display ads and content to inform and entertain shoppers. Any kiosk with this type of physical design could display content, however, to meet their objectives the solution would need to provide robust management capabilities as well. The hardware would need to be highly reliable, offering a long lifespan and vibrant display. A final criteria would be pricing that enabled a reasonable break-even ROI based on their projections for advertising revenue.

Working with a local AV integrator that specialized in commercial digital signage, the IT team looked at kiosks from several well-known brands. They decisively chose the ViewSonic® EP5542T 55-inch ePoster kiosk based on price, design, and hardware features, purchasing three for the mall’s main entrances and one for placement near the food court.

A beautiful piece of hardware, the IT team appreciated the premium specs provided by the sleek black kiosk. The interactive IPS panel offered 10 touch points, 178°/178° wide-angle viewing with 4K Ultra HD resolution, 450-nit brightness, and a 1,300:1 contrast ratio, which would ensure that images were vivid and clear. The anti-scratch, anti-glare glass faceplate would enhance the vibrant imagery, while also protecting the display. The powerful system provided an embedded quad-core media player and 16GB of internal memory that could handle a good deal of photo and video content playback, but if needed the kiosk also enabled the addition of another media player using a purposed-designed cradle inside the lockable security door.

Importantly, the ePoster included an integrated RJ45 connection that would allow the property managers to remotely set up and manage display content from a PC or laptop via the included vController software, which provided an intuitive interface for remote management, OSD-related settings, and scheduling on deployed displays through RS232C and IP LAN control. Through this easy to learn and use interface, administrators can control individual devices or create groups of devices, then schedule specific commands to specific devices or group of devices within a local network.

This would end up being an important feature that enabled the property managers to differentiate advertising based on the location’s proximity to a tenant. ViewSonic also offered several cloud-based content management systems, from which they chose a Revel Digital solution that provided detailed analytics, which further supported their tenant advertising program.

At about six months since deployment, the property managers are pleased with the results of the deployment so far. Customers entering the property routinely use the interactive directory. Randomized feedback from shoppers indicates that they notice and appreciate the informational backside of the kiosks. Specific comments have included noticing and responding to advertisements, appreciating an exhibition of a local photographer’s work, and finding the weather and traffic notices helpful. Food court items advertised on the adjacent digital kiosk have seen upticks in sales.

Design-Build Firm Boosts Conference Room Benefits With ViewSonic ViewBoard Interactive Display

For client-centered firms, the conference room is a critical space for wooing prospects, meeting with current clients and working within the team to develop deliverables. Up-to-date technology helps set the tone for success. The best tech enables efficient ideation, collaboration and connectivity.

For one design-built project delivery company, with offices in North America and Europe, taking steps to implement a conference room display upgrade, was a critical part of their client-first, holistic strategy. With services that include design, construction, procurement and maintenance, the conference room upgrade was designed to create a workspace that positively impacts employee motivation and brand equity. The upgrade began with an efficient, easy-to-use videoconferencing solution to connect its distributed teams and provide a more productive central meeting space for architects, designers and engineers to collaborate with clients and show off the intricate details of their CAD designs.

The firm’s outdated Smartboard fell short when it came to displaying crisp detail. The expense and IT time needed for maintenance and calibration assistance added up. Not to mention, it gave the image-focused agency a bit of a dated appearance. The design team wanted a higher quality solution, that enabled them to zoom into designs and still show sharp detail. They also wanted an easy-to-use solution that eliminated the need to replace lamps and calibrate.

In summary, the IT team was challenged to source a solution that eliminated calibration, maintenance and lamp replacement and delivered higher image quality – all in a large touchscreen device that fit their moderate budget.


The most powerful benefits of upgrading the conference room with a ViewSonic ViewBoard interactive flat panel display and integrated myViewBoard annotation software, are enhanced productivity and collaboration.


Following some comprehensive online research that included major brands such as ViewSonic, LG, Samsung, Microsoft Surface, and SMART touchscreen displays, the IT team selected the 86” ViewSonic® ViewBoard® IFP8650 with integrated myViewBoard® annotation software, ViewBoard Cast™ streaming software and 4K Ultra HD resolution. The competitive price point and customer care that accompanied the solution, were also important in making this selection.

For design-build and architectural firms looking for a solution that supports intricate AutoCAD and other intricate drawings, the ViewBoard’s 4K resolution enables teams to zoom in and show precise levels of detail. It also provides easy collaboration and video conferencing for staff and client meetings held in the conference room, through integrated cloud connectivity and whiteboarding tools. With an expansive 86 inches of screen space to work with, teams appreciate the ability to show a PowerPoint presentation and have a Teams or Zoom video conference window side-by-side. To maximize the experience, this team added a wide-angle camera.

Luxury Retailer Showcases Product in Style with Portrait-Mounted ViewSonic Direct View LED Displays

Luxury Retailer Showcases Product in Style with Portrait-Mounted ViewSonic Direct View LED Displays

Shopping for apparel in a brick-and-mortar store can be a welcome change from scrolling through online shops. When it comes to high-end apparel, the store environment can be a crucial part of the upscale experience. This successful entrepreneur was looking for a way to set her spaces apart from the competition. ViewSonic® Direct View LED displays provided a perfect canvas for showcasing her stores’ unique brand of style.

An independent upscale boutique with humble beginnings, this retailer was opening new shops in three major urban areas. The setting was ultra-modern: open floor plans with soaring ceilings, skylights, stark white walls, and chrome fixtures created a contemporary ambiance and focused attention on the apparel. Her space designer suggested adding digital signage to enhance the modern décor. Before moving forward with this recommendation, the savvy store owner did some heavy reconnaissance, visiting stores ranging from suburban malls to urban boutiques, with apparel ranging from off-the-rack mass consumer labels to powerhouse luxury brands. She noted two typical uses of digital signage: TV-like displays mounted both vertically and horizontally throughout the store or over the register and large video walls with obvious frame lines breaking up the images. Neither was the right look to reinforce her brand. She needed vertical displays to showcase the designers, but the smallish screens she saw in this orientation would be overwhelmed by the scale of her space. The large displays made of multiple smaller monitors were a better fit size-wise but dark lines running through images of her product was a compromise she would not be happy to make. The retailer contacted a local AV reseller for advice. He recommended that she look at LED displays, which offer large, completely seamless images.


The aesthetics of the massive displays ideally coordinate with and enhance her upscale brand. And, as she had been assured would be the case, the ultra-high defi nition 4K images were brilliant and detailed even with sunlight pouring through the floor-to-ceiling windows.


Together they reviewed several brands, with the retailer ultimately selecting the ViewSonic LDP163-091 163-inch 4K Direct View LED display. Many factors infl uenced this decision. Most of the LED brands they reviewed were sleek and modern looking. The ViewSonic Direct View LED won out based on price, overall lifetime cost considerations, and the ability to be mounted vertically with tiny 5mm edges on all sides, among others.

For an apparel retailer, portrait positioning was critical to showcasing designers and fashion models. Not only did the ViewSonic Direct View LED enable this less-standard format, it also allowed for the ability to detach the system control box that typically would run along the bottom edge in a horizontal installation, providing the symmetry of a virtually frameless 5mm edge on all four sides.

Additionally, these aesthetic capabilities were offered in an all-in-one solution that would make this busy entrepreneur’s life that much easier. Everything needed for installation was included – all controls, cables, and power supply. Her integrator, along with included supervision from a ViewSonic engineer, would be able to complete the installation in around half a day. After that she would need only to turn on the display each morning, which she could do remotely for all three displays using the included and intuitive myViewBoard® Manager® software. With an upgrade to Manager Advanced, she could schedule unique video content for each display, or send the same content to all three.

The retailer was further impressed that on an ongoing basis, maintenance needs would be minimal and any repairs would be minimally intrusive. Unlike traditional TV-like digital signage, the ViewSonic Direct View LED display could be cared for from in front of the screen – without requiring costly, timeconsuming and disruptive removal from the wall. Additionally, she learned that replacing a malfunctioning panel was simple and easy. She was trained to do so herself, and is confident that should the occasion arise, she can personally take on this task.

Another aspect of the ViewSonic Direct View LED that the store owner commented on was the greater durability offered by this newest version of LED technology, which is waterproof, dustproof, and resistant to damage from jostles and bumps, promising a longer lifespan. The displays were a substantial investment for her; it provided peace of mind to know that if a customer elbowed a display, or spilled the complimentary champagne she offered onto the screen, it was unlikely to cause any damage.

Installation went without a hitch in all three stores and the owner has been pleased at how easy it is to manage all three displays remotely with the myViewBoard Manager Advanced software. The aesthetics of the massive displays ideally coordinate with and enhance her upscale brand. And, as she had been assured would be the case, the ultra-high definition 4K images were brilliant and detailed even with sunlight pouring through the fl oor-to-ceiling windows. Fine shadows and details in the drapes, folds and flourishes on the apparel were crisp and clear.

AV Integrator Exceeds Customer Requirements for Massive Atrium Space with ViewSonic 216-inch Direct View LED Display

SOLUTION BRIEF

AV Integrator Exceeds Customer Requirements for Massive Atrium Space with ViewSonic 216-inch Direct View LED Display

Meeting spaces are the bread and butter of commercial AV integrators. Enclosed conference rooms and boardrooms typically call for standard setups. Open huddle spaces and large multipurpose areas become more complex. This commercial AV integrator, faced with a unique space to fill, had an exceptionally trouble-free experience and a highly satisfied customer working with ViewSonic to install a 216-inch Direct View LED display.

One of its largest clients, a worldwide name in banking software solutions, sought to install a video wall in their new multipurpose space. A huge open area that included a stairway to the second floor – and an impressive plant wall – the company’s “Staritorim” would be used for company-wide meetings, welcoming guests, and running videos to showcase new products and other company accomplishments.

The video equipment would need to fill as much of the expansive wall as possible, within budget constraints, and be able to perform well with multiple types of content and lighting conditions. The company chose Direct View LED technology over a traditional tiled-screen LCD video wall for its ability to provide a seamless image.

After assessing the competitive field, the final contenders came down to ViewSonic and Planar. The company chose the ViewSonic® 216-inch Direct View LED display based on price, size, and integrated features. In addition to a lower cost, ViewSonic offered an all-in-one solution with integrated processing power, which allowed for an easier, less-complicated installation. This would reduce time and expense related to installation, as well as for ongoing maintenance and daily use.


The bundled ViewSonic EMBEDDED Signage Platform (VESP) eliminated the need for external devices to communicate with the server or to play digital media. The customer appreciated that it was a more compact, easier-to-use solution that would reduce costs.


No additional components were needed: the LED tiles, AV hardware and software, power supplies, and cables were included. The bundled ViewSonic EMBEDDED Signage Platform (VESP) eliminated the need for external devices to communicate with the server or to play digital media. The customer appreciated that it was a more compact, easier-to-use solution that would reduce costs.

The AV integrator in charge of the project appreciated working with ViewSonic at every step of the way, reporting that it was one of the best experiences he’d had with an equipment manufacturer. He noted that the ViewSonic team even found a mistake on the design drawings that would have impacted the fit of the display. Further, the ViewSonic all-in-one Direct View LED solution included the services of a certified technician to assist with installation.

After several months of use, the banking software customer has also been beyond pleased, reporting that the solution simply does what they need it to do, with ease and without fail, launching quickly and running continually every day. The huge display is a vibrant and exciting presence in their corporate atrium. Personnel from various departments have successfully used it for presentations, welcome messages, and brand building.

To facilitate connectivity with remote workers, the company added a video conferencing system. When it was used for the first all-hands meeting, the Direct View LED display amazed the fully-assembled workforce with its looks and performance, even in the brilliance of a bright sunny morning in a space without blinds.

Family-Owned Restaurant Achieves Digital Signage Upgrade with ViewSonic myViewBoard Manager Advanced Software

SOLUTION BRIEF

Family-Owned Restaurant Achieves Digital Signage Upgrade with ViewSonic myViewBoard Manager Advanced Software

Despite the pandemic, this family owned-and-operated chain of restaurants had recently grown to six locations across the area. A modern and stylish fast-casual concept, they offered both a distinctive interior dining experience and fast, efficient carryout. The founding family members had achieved this unique model and rapid growth by focusing on smart business practices used by much larger chains. Now it was time to find a digital signage solution that supported this strategy.

The objectives were twofold. One, they wanted to be able to quickly update the content on their menu boards. Two, needed a solution that would be manageable across all locations, to consistently support the brand with minimal tech support requirements.

A friend knew a local AV consultant, who recommended that they look at solutions from ViewSonic, which offered both products and display management software that could provide everything they were looking for. While some small-to-midsize businesses settle for displays sold as consumer TVs, she said, doing so was risky. With ViewSonic commercial-grade displays they could count on reliable up-time, industry-leading warranties, and outstanding support. The company was also known for making displays with stunning and crisp images, she told them.


Many mentioned how well the digital signage fit the unique mood of the restaurant’s interior. According to the family, the targeted promotions have been a boon to business. Sales of these items have increased, and the ability to schedule different promotions at each restaurant has allowed them to highlight local favorites.


The AV consultant further outlined the benefits provided by ViewSonic commercial displays, including the increased durability of full-metal construction, 25% high haze anti-glare screens, and robust 24/7 operation for commercial-grade reliability. Based on the size and configuration of the restaurants’ food service area, she recommended the ViewSonic® CDE6520-W 65-inch commercial displays with crisp 3840 x 2160 resolution for the menu board. Rated for 24/7 use, these displays would reliably accommodate the restaurants’ long hours.

The displays came complete with an included remote configuration software system called myViewBoard® Manager, she explained, that would let the owners manage all of the displays remotely from one location. An upgrade to this software would add the ability to easily manage their content as well. Ideal for scheduling and managing multimedia content across many displays, myViewBoard Manager AdvancedTM was available with a annual subscription fee after a 30-day free trial.

Along with considering their consultant’s advice, two of the family members viewed digital signage installed in several retail environments – travelling together to compare their impressions of the displays. Their conclusions were virtually identical. The images on the displays from ViewSonic and other well- known brands were clearly superior. The ViewSonic commercial displays had a more durable look. And the “TV displays” often looked dim or, frankly, cheap – not a look they wanted for their restaurants.

The family then compared the specifications and pricing of ViewSonic commercial displays with equivalent models from other major brands. Not only was the ViewSonic pricing better, with the other brands they would have to individually manage the displays – adding significant time, and therefore, expense. Both the included and upgraded versions of ViewSonic myViewBoard Manager software would enable them to remotely handle all maintenance tasks for the menu boards at their six locations, including powering the 18 displays on and off at pre-scheduled times. The Manager Advanced software would streamline management of multimedia content, and the monthly subscription would cover additional displays as they expanded to more locations at no additional cost. They were sold.

The restaurateurs purchased three ViewSonic CDE6520-W 65-inch commercial displays for each of their locations. While they awaited the delivery and installation, they hired a local graphic designer to create templates for the menu boards. As they worked with her, they decided to add promotional spots for high-margin products.

When the time came to begin using the displays, they were relieved to find that they were as intuitive to use as promised by ViewSonic and their AV consultant. With the myViewBoard Manager Advanced software installed on his laptop, the family member designated to oversee the displays was able to intuitively discover how to create and use multimedia playlists, which he could push out to all the displays from the comfort of his home office. He was also able to create customized playlists for each restaurant, which allowed them to base promotions on that location’s needs.

Feedback from their customers has been overwhelmingly positive. Many commented on the fun graphics and vibrant images. No one missed the old- fashioned printed signs. In fact, many mentioned how well the digital signage fit the unique mood of the restaurant’s interior. According to the family, the targeted promotions have been a boon to business. Sales of these items have increased, and the ability to schedule different promotions at each restaurant has allowed them to highlight local favorites. They plan to experiment with more and varying promotional formats with the goal of further increasing profits and customer satisfaction.

Discerning Executive Achieves Vision for High-End Boardroom with ViewSonic 216-inch 4K Direct View Display

SOLUTION BRIEF

Discerning Executive Achieves Vision for High-End Boardroom with ViewSonic 216-inch 4K Direct View Display

Boardroom design often reflects the style of a company’s top executive. The president and owner of this growing data services firm sought to remake his boardroom at the corporate headquarters to reflect the company’s modern services as well as his own contemporary design tastes.

His office manager hired a design team known for its high-end creativity and use of state-of-the-art technology. Their display technology recommendation: Direct View LED. Sure, they said, a typical LCD display would look good, but it wouldn’t deliver the most modern look available. For that, an ultra-slim Direct View LED display was the current leading-edge product. For example, they said, a typical LCD is more than 3-inches thick from front to back. Direct View LED displays, by contrast, skim the wall at just over a single inch.

Additionally, the designer pointed out, Direct View LED was the only option to achieve sizes bigger than 98-inches without combining LCD displays and having distracting frames breaking up the image. And since this room would not be used for collaborative work teams (they had other spaces for this) an interactive display was not needed.

After sharing this information and some photographs with the company president, he agreed to move in this direction. The design team worked with their integration partner to research and test Direct View LED displays from several manufacturers. The president gave them carte blanch on the final decision. The team chose ViewSonic in part because they were the only manufacturer to return their call and spend time talking with them about the product’s unique features. ViewSonic further offered on-site supervision of the installation, impressing the designer with their start-to-finish support.

Beyond the outstanding service, the designer was impressed by the simplicity and ease of what looked like it might be a challenging technology to work with. ViewSonic offered an all-in-one Direct View LED solution that included

everything needed in one box – from the display system components to the power supply and integrated management software. The product itself included everything needed for executing conference calls using popular applications like Zoom and Microsoft Teams via individual laptops or other devices. The built-in Wi-Fi and operating system would make it easy for users to work in a familiar PC environment for app installation, web browsing, and wireless device connection.

With the space remodel complete, installation of the ViewSonic® Direct View LED 4K 216-inch display was accomplished in less than a day by a local installer supervised by the ViewSonic team member. The team accessed a company video from their website and had it playing on the screen before bringing the president to see it for the first time. According to the office manager, he couldn’t have been more pleased.

The executive boardroom had always been the epicenter of the most important company meetings. Now, the ambiance and technology fit the firm’s expanded position in the industry. It was also the springboard for additional conference room upgrades. After meeting in the updated space, it wasn’t long before members of the executive team started wanting a ViewSonic Direct View LED display for their departmental conference rooms. Their only questions were about the ability to easily share content both in the room and from remote teammates.

The office manager again consulted with their AV expert, learning that both scenarios could be easily accomplished with the ViewSonic Direct View LED displays. Pre-installed ViewBoard® Cast software would enable direct wireless content streaming from mobile devices to the display. Remote users could share content though the screen-sharing capabilities of the fi rm’s Microsoft Teams conferencing app. Later that year, the company installed 163-inch ViewSonic 4K Direct View LED displays into four additional conference rooms.
