Industry News
We recently completed a major digital signage upgrade at a shopping center in Toronto , where we replaced an outdated Spliced LCD (SLCD) video wall with our 136-inch COB LED screen — specifically designed for high-ambient indoor environments and commercial advertising .
The transformation has been impressive — both visually and operationally.
The Challenge: High Ambient Lighting Demands More from Digital Signage
The shopping center had excellent indoor lighting — great for shoppers, but tough on digital displays.
Their old SLCD video wall , while large, faced several challenges:
- Washed-out visuals due to insufficient brightness
- Visible bezels that distracted from ad content
- Uneven backlighting across panels
- Poor contrast made branding and promotions less impactful
- Frequent maintenance needs due to aging tech
In such a competitive environment, visibility and visual impact are everything — and their old system simply couldn’t keep up.
The Upgrade: Our ETL-Certified 136” COB LED Screen
To solve these issues, we installed our ETL-certified COB LED screen , featuring:
- Screen Size : 136” diagonal
- Resolution : 1600 x 900 pixels (native 16:9 ratio)
- Pixel Pitch : 1.87mm – ideal for close-to-mid viewing distances
- Brightness : Up to 1000 cd/m² – ensuring vivid visuals even under strong ambient light
- Certification : ETL Listed , meeting strict North American safety standards
This powerful combination of size, clarity, and brightness made it the perfect fit for the space.
Key Benefits Delivered:
- Ultra-bright, vibrant ads – Content remains sharp and eye-catching even in well-lit areas.
- Seamless display – No bezels = no distractions. Just clean, immersive visuals that engage passersby.
- Crystal-clear resolution – With 1600x900 native support, every frame looks crisp and professional.
- Future-proof scalability – Modular design allows for easy expansion or reconfiguration.
- Long-lasting durability – Built to last 2–3x longer than LCDs , with minimal degradation over time.
- Low-maintenance modularity – Replace only what’s needed, not the whole system.
Real-World Impact: Higher Engagement & ROI
Since the installation, the client has seen:
- Increased viewer engagement with digital ads
- Higher tenant satisfaction due to premium-quality visuals
- Improved brand presentation for advertisers
- Reduced maintenance calls and long-term support needs
This wasn’t just a technology upgrade — it was a complete transformation of how the shopping center attracts attention and drives value through digital signage.
Final Thoughts
For shopping centers, retail spaces, and any venue with high ambient lighting and commercial advertising needs , our 136” COB LED screen is the clear choice over traditional SLCD walls.
With ETL certification , 1.87mm pixel pitch , and 1000 cd/m² max brightness , this display ensures your message doesn’t just reach your audience — it sticks with them .
