LG Electronics Takes Digital Signage Business in Fresh Direction
LG 'Makes it Simple,' Broadens Digital Signage Solutions, Channel Programs.
LAS VEGAS -- LG Electronics is introducing new ways to simplify the procurement, sale and operation of digital signage networks with its "Simple to Buy, Simple to Sell, Simple to Use" approach announced at this week's Digital Signage Expo 2010 (Booth #1205).
"One problem the industry continues to face is that most digital signage projects are still relatively complex and often confusing for the majority of distributors, integrators and end users," said Jeff Dowell, vice president, Digital Signage, LG Electronics Business Solutions. "Addressing this challenge LG is working to simplify the entire process from stem to stern by enhancing the customer experience and streamlining costs for the integrators, while still providing an advanced content distribution platform."
This week at Digital Signage Expo, LG is introducing a variety of new digital signage products, ranging from solid state digital media players and displays built for high ambient light environments to large-format flat panel arrays designed for public venue advertising and information display applications.
Designed to conveniently display content including images, movies, audio and other file types in full HD, LG's NC-1000 digital media player is an example of the company's move to providing more solutions-based products. The digital media player is built on an open-architecture platform, enabling compatibility with many popular software providers' applications.
