LED video walls are the future for immersive, visual displays. From Hollywood productions to corporate board rooms, LED has proven to make magical experiences. The best news is LED video walls are becoming much more accessible.
We brainstormed for a while about writing our own guide to video walls (also called direct view LED). But while doing research, we found so many well written resources that to do our own would just be a collection of quotes from other guides.
So instead, we made a list and summarized some of our favorite resources for understanding how LED video wall technology works and how it can benefit your organization.

They are designed for Full HD and 4K content and look great on camera, making them a great option for organizations.
