Billboard-Sized Video Walls Now Greet Int’l Travellers As They Stumble Off Long Flights To Melbourne September 11, 2024 by Dave Haynes Maybe it’s just the old ops guy in me, but I see installations like this impressive one in Melbourne, Australia, and feel relieved when I notice someone had the smarts or hard-learned experience to scheme in a kick-rail system on the walkway, so roller bags don’t shred the bottom part of the LED video walls. …
Near-Transparent LED On Foil Turns Seoul Restaurant Window Into Billboard September 11, 2024 by Dave Haynes This is one of those somewhat transparent, super-thin foil displays mounted inside a big window for a restaurant, I think, in Seoul.

The perforated material that holds …

Chick-fil-A Opens Atlanta-Area Drive-Thru-Only Store With No Pre-Sell Or Menu Displays August 21, 2024 by Dave Haynes It’s a bit premature to see a newly-opened Chick-fil-A drive-thru restaurant as a worrying trend, but a new two-story, four-lane operation that’s opened in the general orbit of Atlanta is certainly noteworthy for the near or total absence of the promo and drive-thru menu displays that are typical in the North American fast food business. …
