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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Higher Education Hybrid Classroom Gets Transformative Upgrade with ViewSonic Direct View LED Displays and More

BACKGROUND

For one school district located in western Canada representing a large and diverse network of K-12 public schools, raising the bar of excellence for digital learning was achieved with ViewSonic’s ViewBoard solution.

Not only is the upgraded classroom now a cutting-edge digital learning environment, it is also a model for future classroom refreshes. The integrated technology seamlessly blends in-person and remote experiences, delivering a host of benefits to faculty, students, and the IT team.

— Miles Brandon, Owner, Capistrano VW

CHALLENGE

A recognized leader in STEM higher education, this large state university is dedicated to being on the forefront of classroom technology. To facilitate efficient use of technology resources, the university offers instructors a variety of classroom configurations to meet their edtech needs. At the pinnacle of these options are classrooms equipped to simultaneously deliver instruction to in-person and remote students. Live-monitored by university IT staff to prevent tech-related disruption, these rooms serve an important role in extending the reach of instruction.

One such classroom was due for a major technology update. The existing setup relied on two ceiling-mounted projectors, which cast content onto dual wall screens. It was time to upgrade to technology that would support the range of modern learning options and instructional modalities: a state-of-the-art video wall that would deliver bright, consistently sharp visuals for every student. More importantly, the solution needed to seamlessly deliver content to in-person and distance learners, while creating an environment that connected those audiences and provided intuitive control for the instructor.

Several types of displays would be needed to support these goals, including large, vibrant front-of-room displays for on-site learners; displays to bring Zoom participants into the room; confidence displays for the instructor at the back of the room; and an interactive display at the instructor podium. All of which would be maintained and monitored in real time by university IT staff.

SOLUTION

To accomplish these goals, the IT group worked with longtime reseller partner ClarkPowell, which recommended ViewSonic for the display component of the installation. The IT team reviewed the recommendations and agreed that this would be an ideal solution for their needs, commenting in particular on the durability of the ViewSonic^® Direct View LED (dvLED) display with Glue-on- Board (GOB) technology and the ability to swap individual panels with included spares, which would streamline maintenance.

The final front-of-room solution included two 136-inch ViewSonic All-in-One dvLED video walls (Model LDM136-151) to present class content. These would be mounted on either side of a ViewSonic 98-inch 4K commercial display (model CDE9830). Two ViewSonic 65-inch commercial displays (model CDE6530) would be mounted to the back wall for instructor visibility: one to mirror the instructional content; one to display Zoom participants.

Finally, the instructor podium would be equipped with a ViewSonic 24-inch digital podium touch display (model ID2456-4K) that would enable faculty to intuitively deliver content and connect with students using integrated ViewSonic^® ViewDirector™ software. To ensure seamless operation, the ClarkPowell team would integrate the ViewSonic displays into the classroom’s existing Crestron matrix switcher.

RESULTS

The integrated technology seamlessly blends in-person and remote experiences, delivering a host of benefits to faculty, students, and the IT team.

Instructors appreciate no longer having to contend with projector lights shining in their eyes, as well as being able to maintain focus on students. The confidence monitors in the back of the room allow presenters to easily confirm that their content is looking as it should on the front screens, while also providing an interface with students joining on Zoom.

The brightness and clarity of the ViewSonic dvLED displays provides classroom and remote students with a clearer view of content in all lighting conditions, while also delivering outstanding recorded images – a critical component of serving the needs of asynchronous distance learners. Along with this consistency in lighting, the IT team benefits from the lower, and easier, maintenance offered by the dvLED displays. All of which provides more streamlined instruction with greater efficiency and reduced costs. /span>

What’s more, a visiting IT specialist mentioned that one of their university’s classrooms had an outdated dvLED display that lacked GOB surface treatment, which resulted in damage, and added repair costs, when students bumped into it.

The university’s stated objective for its top-tier tech classrooms is to empower faculty to deliver modern, high-impact instruction to a range of students, without the burden of technical barriers. In these spaces, the edtech allows faculty to focus on teaching, not troubleshooting. This classroom upgrade has achieved just that, with bright and durable ViewSonic dvLED video walls, commercial displays, and a digital podium touch display shining as the foundational visual technology.

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

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.

SOLUTION

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.”

RESULTS

“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.”

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.

SOLUTION

ViewSonic’s ViewBoard interactive displays with integrated myViewBoard® whiteboarding software was the clear winner from the start. The decision was made to go with the 86-inch ViewSonic ViewBoard IFP8650 with integrated myViewBoard software as a standardized solution across their school system.

During the evaluation period, the teams that were leading the search noted that teachers tended to gather around the ViewBoard at the end of the day to get a first-hand trial of the myViewBoard system. It definitely caused the most excitement which made for a very easy decision.

One area of concern expressed by the teachers was ensuring seamless transition of the content they had accumulated over the years to the new system. Because myViewBoard software natively opens Promethean Flipchart files, teachers were able to easily import and manage all of their content created on older software. All of their content was accessible so they didn’t have to reinvent the wheel.

Teachers were also able to transition to the new technology with minimal interruption. The school district decided to install the new ViewBoard displays in schools during the school year, and were able to remove the old technology in the evening and install the ViewSonic system by the end of the next day.

RESULTS

“With such a mix of different schools and teaching styles, this school district had numerous different use cases for the technology,” said Deidre Deacon, General Manager, ViewSonic Canada. In choosing ViewSonic’s myViewBoard platform, flexibility was a key consideration. “The beauty of the ViewBoard solution is the ability to easily adapt to the curriculum of a particular school, while enabling centralized maintenance and control through the myViewBoard software. Another key advantage over the older projection systems is the improved contrast, which provides clearer images and better viewing angles.”

The ViewBoard displays are also capable of wireless connectivity which enables screen sharing from any laptop, allowing teachers and students to easily share content via their in-class devices.

Wireless connectivity and easy set up were critical considerations as the units could easily be moved between schools and maintained from a central location. Installation was quickly completed – in fact the rollout of the first 230 ViewSonic ViewBoard displays took only 12 weeks to complete.

Today, teachers are excited with what they can do with the new technology. They are also trying out different digital learning tools, like putting cameras on top of the ViewBoard displays, streaming school tournaments, and allowing multiple students to engage on the screen at the same time.

Having advanced interactive display technology has also been a valuable drawing card with parents who are always looking for what’s best for their kids. If they see more cutting-edge technology that actually works, and they know they can watch and be connected with their kids, the decision to send them to one of the district’s schools is easy.

School District Supports Small Group and Hybrid Learning with ViewSonic 24-inch VG2456 Docking Monitor

Serving one of the largest student populations in the US, this school district was looking for an efficient, cost-effective way to add instructional flexibility to its 13,000 classrooms. The endeavor began on the heels of the Covid pandemic, with the goal of providing an easier way to manage hybrid teaching.

The district provided teachers with new convertible laptops on which to run the learning management system (LMS) and other instructional content. The original plan called for adding a separate 24-inch monitor that would allow teachers to easily view and interact with remote students. To streamline the process, the IT team intended to pair docking stations with the new monitors. Unfortunately, the combination of these two products exceeded the district’s cost parameters.

“They ended up not having the budget to accomplish their goal as originally conceived,” said Ben Pearson, ViewSonic Southeast RBM for Education. “I suggested that they look at the ViewSonic 24-inch VG2456 docking monitor, which features built-in connectivity. It had a higher price tag than the other monitor I quoted them, but it was less costly than the monitor-plus-dock combination.”

The streamlined VG2456 docking monitor had all the key features the IT team was seeking, including USB-C with power delivery for the laptops, RJ45 Ethernet, and two USB downstream ports for accessories like web cams and document cameras. It seemed like a perfect solution.
