Thought Leader: Megan Zeller, Senior Director of Business Development at Peerless-AV

Direct-view LED (dvLED) video wall installations make up a significant portion of integrators’ total business, bringing high-quality content to life and engaging consumers in new, interesting ways. With that comes high expectations to create memorable, impactful first impressions and seamless configuration. Whether it’s a hotel lobby, conference room, retail store, restaurant, museum, or entertainment venue, it’s important to keep best practices in mind to ensure that you’re getting the most out of your installation while prioritizing safety and efficiency.

If you employ a large video wall, don’t overdo it with content. Busy screens with too many images or scrolling feeds can easily overwhelm viewers and distract them from your overall message." — Megan Zeller, Senior Director of Business Development at Peerless-AV

Your video wall might serve one or many purposes. For example, a museum installation might present exhibit information or wayfinding. In general, video walls are a large canvas for messages or stories and it’s important to make sure your content is making an impact. If you employ a large video wall, don’t overdo it with content. Busy screens with too many images or scrolling feeds can easily overwhelm viewers and distract them from your overall message. If you plan to install a video wall that serves as a directory in a hotel lobby, ensure that the text sizes are readable and that any scrolling provides enough time for viewers to get information as needed.
