Anyone working in the digital signage or multimedia space? I have a need for a simple 2x2 video wall, and am looking for some best practice advice. Avoid brand X! Always use X type monitors! Never use the OEM brackets! That kind of stuff.

I'm a detailer for an exhibit design firm. Need more info.
Should clarify: where is it? Whats it showing? Bezel or no bezel? 2'x2' or 2x2 monitors? If latter, how much space? All off the shelf or can you have stuff fabricated?

How much defination are you after? the more you want, the more you are going to pay
I play with this one... you do not want to know what it costs

I do large scale outdoor LED signs for a living, and we've just started into the indo digital screen market as well. Bluej's questions for more info are right on the money. There are a LOT of options out there from grassroots to OMG expensive.

Here's the latest project - LED backlit top letters, our own brand of LED screen in the middle. The screen is 10'x13'. I even took the picture. Believe it or not, the entire frame of this sign was built by one guy, and the whole sign was only 4 of us.

Whoops I read ThePhranc as saying "If it can't be done IN a Neon, it's not worth doing !!"

Media Displays. We are kind of an LED sign broker - we get special deals from a couple national manufacturers plus we have our own house branded signs for projects this size and larger that we import directly. We sell retail and wholesale nationwide. I'm the Chief Technology Officer and head troubleshooter. We also have a retail company that does projects like this in our immediate area.
Thanks for the compliments.

Hey Phranc I worship at the feet of good neon. I wish I'd learned to bend glass when we were trying to do it in house years ago. There's nothing better.
