LG Electronics USA unveiled at InfoComm 2015 this year an all-new, full-HD video wall display with what it claims is "the world's slimmest bezel-to-bezel design" — measuring in at 1.8 millimeters.

The digital signage video wall display was introduced at last week's InfoComm in Orlando, Florida, and features distinct new innovations that address the largest issues video wall customers face today, according to LG.

Available in the U.S. this fall in 49-, 55- and 65-inch class sizes (48.5-, 54.6- and 64.5-inches measured diagonally), LG said the VH7B is the first video wall display to feature a bezel-to-bezel measurement of about 1/16th of an inch, allowing displays to be connected seamlessly with others. This seamless appearance is meant to create a video wall that becomes less a collection of panels and more a cohesive, continuous image for a more engaging, immersive viewer experience, the company said. LG's included software allows the displays to be arranged in up to a 15-by-15 matrix, while installation options explode when married with third-party hardware/software signage solutions.

LG also said it achieved significant improvements in maintaining the brightness uniformity across the screens, keeping the edges as bright as the center. To address the challenges of matching color and brightness across all panels, LG said it has incorporated factory calibration and efficient calibration tools that allow integrators to achieve an optimal image within three to five minutes per panel.

"LG is yet again raising the bar for video displays with the launch of the VH7B," said Clark Brown, digital signage vice president for LG Electronics USA. "Our commitment to delivering innovations for better business, such as this exciting new product, communicates loud and clear that LG is the only partner customers should be considering for their display solutions."

The video wall display also features LG's "webOS for Signage" smart platform, which takes advantage of the built-in high-performance system-on-a-chip that eliminates the need for an external media player, helping to reduce the total cost of ownership. LG's webOS for Signage enables a variety of Web-based applications across multiple platforms, as well as the ability to write applications using HTML 5. The new VH7B series also includes several new features and improvements in design, including its light weight (20KG) and slim depth (87mm), to allow for easier installation and maintenance of the product.

In addition to the new VH7B video wall, LG's 2015 InfoComm booth featured interactive demonstrations of a range of key LG products and solutions, including the benefits of its In-Plane Switching panel technology. IPS panels minimize image distortion at wide angles and provide high picture quality that offers original image color matching. Most importantly, the company said, IPS panels create a viewing experience "that is watchable at virtually any angle."
