It’s Not A Digital Signage Show, But NRF 2020 Has A Lot Of It On Show This Week In NYC January 13, 2020 by Super User I am skipping the NRF retail show in NYC this week – every 2-3 years is enough for me – but there are plenty of digital signage vendors there, some making a very large investment.

UK Dep’t Store Puts Its Window Digital On Sliders December 9, 2019 by Super User This is one of those “Hmmm …” things – a kind of interesting mash-up of direct view LED panels on motorized tracks, shifting in a UK shop window.
