Digital screens have evolved over the last 80 years – Tom Mudd

On November 2, 1936, the British Broadcasting Corporation launched the first regular high-definition television service in the UK, broadcasting live from Alexandra Palace, London. The term ‘high-definition’ was used for this pioneering service in the 1930s, in comparison with earlier systems that were based on mechanical processes with as few as 30 lines of resolution – this has since been adopted again more recently to describe the new generation of communications media that display a substantially higher resolution than that of its predecessors.

LED Screens in a dirty old town – Tom Mudd

When changing LED tiles in screens that are located in urban areas, it’s easy to see how polluted the environment we live in can be. Dirt, dust and construction ash all tend to accumulate on the LED screen faces and you may wonder why this doesn’t have more of a detrimental effect on the viewing characteristics. 

Ambient light levels when specifying an LED Screen – Jon Perkins

 Screen brightness is measured in NITs, so 1 Nit = 1 Candela per sqm. Typically, the minimum requirement would be 5000 Nits for outdoor and 800 Nits for indoor. However it’s not always about the brightness, it can also be about getting the contrast right.
