SOLUTION BRIEF
Business School Enhances Event Experience with ViewSonic® Direct View LED Display
BACKGROUND
With a growing population of undergraduate and graduate students, the business school at a top-ranked university on the U.S. East Coast was running out of space. As a result, it was compelled to repeatedly repurpose study space to accommodate events, which was both inconvenient for students and inefficient. The opportunity to address this need arose when space in their main building became available to transform into an exclusive event space.
Central to delivering an effective space would be a focal-point display that could easily be seen by all participants. The large space, which would accommodate up to 200 attendees at round tables, was graced with significant natural lighting from numerous windows. While a benefit to the ambiance overall, this ambient light would constrain their choice of AV system, which would need to be bright enough to deliver clear images in these conditions.
The school’s IT team quickly ruled out projection.
“They had already been moving away from traditional projectors, because of the higher maintenance and tendency to dim over time,” said Eric Waldron, ViewSonic Regional Business Manager for the area. “They wanted instructors and presenters to be able to keep the lights on, which helps facilitate engagement, and they liked that a video wall solution would provide excellent support for hybrid meetings.”
Along with needing outstanding brightness and clarity, the space required a precise fit and the IT team was under pressure to complete the installation quickly for a planned event. Additional objectives included a platform that would enable intuitive transition for professors from the familiar white- and blackboards to digital annotation.
“Not only did the business school gain useful event space, which meant no longer displacing students from study areas, the IT team is enjoying the benefits of the front-swappable panels, which enable faster and easier maintenance and easier alignment, which ensures a more seamless, accurate image.”

CHALLENGE
-
Equipment currently in use is beginning to reach the end of their service life
As part of its education delivery, the district had previously relied on Promethean projectors in classrooms, but these products were reaching the end of their life cycle. Not only were the images hard to see in ambient light conditions, the systems often needed replacement parts and were expensive to maintain. Additionally, the projectors had to be manually recalibrated every time they were moved, presenting new logistical challenges. The school district decided it was time to make a transition to newer technology, and undertook a comprehensive search and trial of leading visual technologies, from projection systems to interactive flat panel displays (IFPs) – including ViewSonic® ViewBoard® interactive displays.
The team leading the search already knew that interactive flat panel systems would be more flexible to use, much easier to install, and require less maintenance than projectors. They decided to invite teachers from across their network to a central location to evaluate four different interactive flat panel (IFP) display systems in person.

The business school IT team evaluated video walls and dVLED screens from several brands, ultimately choosing a ViewSonic 136-inch All-in-One Direct View LED Display (model LDM136-151). This provided the ideal combination of features, along with outstanding brightness, refresh rate and clarity, said Waldron. Fortunately, the size was an exact fit for the space, and the display was in stock and ready to ship. The modular, all-in-one design enabled fast, streamlined installation. “The easy and seamless mounting structure and automatic configuration capabilities were big selling points for this customer,” said Waldron. “They were very happy when the installation was as quick and straightforward as we said it would be.”

“Importantly, the hiccup-free delivery and installation enabled the IT team to meet the deadline for the premier event in the new space, despite some internal concerns.
“Just a week prior, they were having serious internal discussions about moving the event elsewhere,” said Waldron. “The IT team assured their stakeholders that the video wall would be the least of their worries, and in the end, it was.”
In the end, everyone involved was impressed by how quickly and cleanly the installation came together, reported Waldron, and the IT team has appreciated the solution’s ongoing reliability and low maintenance.
“It is always fulfilling to hear from a customer that they’re experiencing greater efficiencies because of our product,” said Waldron. “Not only did the business school gain useful event space, which meant no longer displacing students from study areas, the IT team is enjoying the benefits of the front-swappable panels, which enable faster and easier maintenance and easier alignment, which ensures a more seamless, accurate image.”
Ultimately, the vibrant display met every objective on the business school IT team’s list and has made a strong impression on everyone who’s used the space, Waldron reported.
“They told me that it’s been a game-changer for their events,” he concluded. “Which is exactly why many of our customers are turning to our dVLED in place of traditional video walls.”
