subject: The Events At Which Led Screens Can Make A Difference [print this page] The biggest events deserve the best coverage, and with giant LED screens, every member of the crowd will get a good view of the action. Sports matches, live music events and awards ceremonies can all benefit from these imposing screens as they magnify the events for all to see.
The superb scale and detail that can be achieved using these screens, made up of small individual Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), has made them a popular choice in many major sports grounds. Numerous English Premier League football grounds have installed giant screens to replay highlights of the game to the fans inside the stadium, while they are also used to display information and advertising, making them a viable business option for football clubs.
Several other sports utilise this technology, with many other disciplines allowing LED screens to become an integral part of the action itself. In many major Rugby League stadiums globally, giant screens are used to make decisions that can affect the outcome of the match. When there is a contentious refereeing decision in a game, the referee can choose to refer the decision to a video referee, and the crowd are able to see for themselves on the big screen whether the decision was correct or not.
The same principles apply in cricket, where given the size of the stadiums and relatively small size of the ball, LED screens play a major role in ensuring that the crowd get to see all of the action. It is not uncommon for a replay of a great catch to draw a bigger cheer or gasp from the crowd than the live action itself, as the detail of the giant screen catches the moment far more dramatically than the naked eye can in such colossal stadia. Video referrals are also played out in front of the crowd, often heightening the sense of drama and anticipation.
It is not just sports events that benefit from giant LED screens however. Major music festivals or gigs often hire vast screens to give those music lovers who couldn't quite squeeze to the front a great view of the action. The same idea is often used at major awards ceremonies and any event where hundreds or thousands of people gather and not everyone is able to get a perfect view of what's going on.
There is also an enormous benefit to businesses wishing to reach new customers through a vibrant and active medium. Big screens can be used on roadsides to advertise a product, while sports stadiums can accommodate rolling digiboards around the pitch perimeters. Slightly smaller screens also come in handy for business presentations and corporate open days and events. Video is an incredibly powerful advertising tool and is one of many reasons that companies and events look to giant screens for an attractive solution.
