Event Company Offers Customers Fast, Easy Direct View LED Display Splendor Using ViewSonic Pre-Assembled Kit

SOLUTION BRIEF

Event Company Offers Customers Fast, Easy Direct View LED Display Splendor Using ViewSonic Pre-Assembled Kit

Exhibit companies and event planners are called on to create a wide range of unique spaces. Often they include one or more screens that enable clients to display presentations or showcase products and services. Traditional TV-like LCD rentals range in size from 24 to 98-inches. As the display size increases, so do installation challenges, resulting in added rental and labor costs that can make them cost-prohibitive for many exhibitors.

Companies with big-name brands and deep pockets can afford to own or rent massive LCD display walls and even huge, seamless, mounted Direct View LED displays. This exhibits and events management company wanted to offer its full range of customers a more affordable option for a large, seamless display.

After talking with representatives from major display brands, the exhibit company chose the ViewSonic® LDS135-151, a 135-inch all-in-one Direct View LED mobile display. The price-point was outstanding and the display was beautiful. However, the two primary factors in the decision were the embedded content capabilities and the ready-to-use kit – both of which would be instrumental in meeting the company’s objective of providing an easy, cost-effective solution for clients.

The ViewSonic all-in-one Direct View LED display had everything customers would need to run various types of content, and the interface was familiar and intuitive. Content could be loaded via Wi-Fi or downloaded from a browser. The format mirrored a typical PC environment for intuitive app installation, web browsing, multimedia play, wireless device connection, and more. The included


[The owner] was delighted at how easy it was to return it to her preferred height with a push of a button, thanks to the ability to save up to three different height settings. That afternoon she put in an order for two more kits. She plans to purchase more if necessary to meet customer demand while allowing her to keep one permanently stationed at her facility.


ViewBoard Cast™ content sharing software further enabled easy content streaming from mobile devices onto the display.

The ease of the ready-to-use kit would allow the company to o  er the solution at a lower price-point. It contained everything needed to deliver a huge 135-inch display in a more cost-conscious way. In particular, setup could be accomplished in a manner of minutes – far less than what was required to mount, level, and fine-tune traditional LCD displays. Because it would be easy to deploy, over-and-over again, it would reduce labor costs compared to a mounted solution, or even other, less modular, cart-based options.

Everything in the included storage case was pre-assembled. The LED modules and cabinets were assembled atop a motorized cart that simply rolled out of the case and unfolded to its full size. The system control box came attached to the bottom edge of the display. And that was it. The smooth and silent 360° rotating wheels would let clients position the display exactly as needed in their space. Nothing else was required beyond a 20amp power outlet to plug it in. The motorized height adjust would allow for easy fine-tuning to fit perfectly in virtually any booth or meeting space.

Before making the final purchase decision, the exhibit company’s installation team tested it out. As promised, setup took a matter of minutes. They were convinced that even those with limited technical knowledge would be able to manage every aspect – although depending on the location they may have to allow for a labor union contractor to plug it in.

The owner of the company purchased one kit, with the intention of buying more if the product became popular among her customers. Until they had their first interested client, she used the display in their showroom, with scrolling content of their recent booth builds and testimonials from satisfied customers.

Her team began pitching the new display. It wasn’t long before a client – impressed by the price-point for such a large, dramatic display – wanted to use it at an upcoming trade show. To say the client was thrilled would be an understatement. Larger than four 67-inch LCD displays combined – but without the distraction of lines – the vibrant display pulled visitors into the booth. The client reported that their lead volume was signifi cantly higher than usual for this type of event.

The included flight-ready case facilitated easy transport and delivery and the client was impressed by the protective packaging and ease of assembly. Setup, he reported, took less time and effort than with other types of (much smaller) displays they had rented in the past. Loading and running their content, he said, was just as easy and trouble-free.

When the display returned to home base, the owner of the exhibit company was happy to have it back in the showroom, helping promote their services. She was delighted at how easy it was to return it to her preferred height with a push of a button, thanks to the ability to save up to three different height settings. That afternoon she put in an order for two more kits. She plans to purchase more if necessary to meet customer demand while allowing her to keep one permanently stationed at her facility.

ViewSonic Direct View LED Display Brings Efficiency, Reliability and Visibility to Career Tech Presentations

CASE STUDY

ViewSonic Direct View LED Display Brings Efficiency, Reliability and Visibility to Career Tech Presentations

CUSTOMER PROFILE

Headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama, Montgomery Public Schools is a large district serving over 30,000 students in 27 preschools, 32 elementary schools, 12 middle schools, and 10 high schools, according to US News & World Report. The Career Tech Department provides career and technical instruction to prepare students for life after high school, whether that may include postsecondary education, employment, or a combination of both.

“[The ViewSonic Direct View LED is] a showstopper. There’s no better word for it than that. When I meet visitors at the front office, which is maybe 105 feet from the display wall, I always get astonished comments. It’s vivid and clear even from there. Even the students stop and talk about how amazing it is.”


— Auburn Brown, Career Tech Bookkeeper

THE CHALLENGE

  • Install a reliable and efficient video wall that could handle high-volume use and be visible throughout a large presentation space

The Montgomery Preparatory Academy for Career Technologies (MPACT), the career tech building for the district, is a hub of activity, where students, staff, trainers, and recruiters frequently gather to attend and deliver presentations.

“We host countless seminars, training, PD, and recruitment presentations every month,” said Career Tech Director Todd Davis. “The process for facilitating these activities was very cumbersome. We had to go to another building across town to get a projector, screen and sound board, set them up, then quickly return it all so that it was available for other users.”

Not only was this incredibly inefficient, but with larger meetings and presentations not everyone could see the screen from the back of the room, added Davis.

Inspiration hit as it often does, when one least expects it.

“I was out to dinner during my daughter’s national volleyball tournament and saw what I thought would be the ideal solution,” said Davis. “It was a bunch of TVs put together into a screen so big you could just about see it from another state.”

Davis immediately sent a photo of the image to the CTE team’s Bookkeeper Auburn Brown whose responsibilities include sourcing and purchasing technology to support the district’s dozens of CTE instructors.

“I take care of around 80 teachers and two education specialists,” said Brown. “So when my boss texted me a photo of a huge video screen and said ‘I want this for our commons area,’ I started doing the research right away.”

THE SOLUTION

The large display that sparked Brown’s interest was a traditional video wall created by lining up several TV-like monitors into a grid. Not realizing there would be an alternative, Brown initially assumed that this was the format they would use.

“As I researched manufacturers, I made sure to look at ViewSonic because we use their 65-inch ViewBoard interactive displays here at Career Tech and the district has purchased many of them as well,” said Brown. “I had no idea that there was an option like their Direct View LED displays, which are huge and give a much cleaner look than the other video walls.”

Brown narrowed the options to a few brands and sought advice and pricing from their rep at reseller partner InCare. When she saw the price of the ViewSonic® Direct View LED display she was thrilled.

“I expected it to be more expensive than the video walls that didn’t look as good,” she said. “Going with the ViewSonic Direct View LED just made sense based on my research. It was bigger, had no lines breaking it up, and it was an easier to manage all-in-one solution.”

She took her recommendation that they purchase a 135” ViewSonic Direct View LED display to Davis.

“Auburn said to me, ‘I think we can do a whole lot better than a bunch of TVs lined up together,’” said Davis. “When I saw the ViewSonic display, I absolutely agreed.”

THE RESULTS

  • Added efficiency saves staff time and resources

  • Audience members have clear visibility from anywhere in the room

  • Presentations are clear and crisp, with no bezels to distract attention or break up content

Installed in the center’s commons area, which can seat up to 100 people, the ViewSonic Direct View LED has been a big hit. After over a year of use, Brown and Davis can confidently say that the eye-catching display has exceeded their initial hopes for the presentation space – from its visual appeal to its functional benefits.

“It’s a showstopper,” said Brown. “There’s no better word for it than that. When I meet visitors at the front office, which is maybe 105 feet from the display wall, I always get astonished comments. It’s vivid and clear even from there. Even the students stop and talk about how amazing it is.”

When it comes down to utility, the ViewSonic Direct View Display has more than served its initial purpose.

“It has saved Todd a lot of time, not having to go to the downtown central office to sign equipment in and out every time we have a presentation,” said Brown. “I love it because no one has to hassle with it, it just works and looks amazing.”

Now, presentations of all kinds are reliably crisp, clear, and large enough for everyone in the room to get a good view, no matter where they’re seated.

“We use it year, round, even in the summer,” said Brown. “Presenters include trainers from the State Department of Education, military recruiters, our CTE instructors, and more. And if there are no meetings scheduled and no announcements that we need to run, we’ll put up music, football games or other content that the students and staff enjoy when passing by.”

Everyone is so happy with the display, in fact, that as of this writing, Brown was working on a purchase order to obtain one for their sister center, a magnet high school that focuses on career tech education.

“The advertising design teacher there fell in love with it and convinced us to get one for his school,” said Brown. “They’re going to install it in their ‘Crossroads,’ an intersection of two long hallways that pretty much every student walks through during the day, and run Career Tech announcements and other information.”
