I’m frequently asked about the next great display technology for control rooms as if LCD for flat panels is on the way out. You may be aware that OLED is being received with open arms by a few who suggest that OLED will soon replace LCD. Yes, OLED is a paper-thin product with a wonderful picture, but there’s no evident application for OLED in the control room market any time soon. Granted, I believe OLED will make in-roads with the high end consumer market, but there’s no indication yet that OLED deserves to replace LCD in the control room wall market, especially when it comes to an LCD video wall that has made the leap over DLP with thinner bezels, large screen sizes and high resolution.

LCD keeps getting bigger and better, and except for a few unusual applications LCD makes more practical sense, especially when it comes to price. That said, if you have a contrary view, you’re welcome to express. However, let me know if I can help with your control room furniture or LCD video wall requirements. It’s not a complicated process and there’s no pressure to buy.
