2 - How Big is Big Enough?
Choosing the correct display size is critical for visibility and engagement. This article guides you through the factors to consider when specifying display size, ensuring everyone in the room has a clear view.
Are your corporate and education clients stuck in the loop of "what's the largest flat panel display I can afford"? If so, it's time to help them break free from that mindset.
Now Microsoft Teams Rooms - and all hybrid platform screens - are multi-window (Picture in Picture [PiP]) - display size requirements have taken a significant leap forward because we need to apply AVIXA’s DISCAS image size standard to the main content window and not the overall screen size.
Gone are the days when a standard-sized flat panel display sufficed. Today, the emphasis is on ensuring everyone in the room can read and fully engage with the screen content effectively. After all, investing in high-end, expensive technology is a waste if the screen isn't large enough to accommodate all viewers.
We're now firmly in the era of the Digital Canvas, where large, dynamic displays are crucial for adapting to evolving layout designs and user preferences.
Microsoft's recent move into ALR (Ambient Light Rejection) projection exemplifies this shift. But note that while projection offers versatility in size and aspect ratio at a fraction of the cost of conventional flat panels and dvLED, it has to be Projection Done Properly.
People look at the screen, not the projector. Any system is only as good as the weakest link, and the remarkable steps made in laser 3LCD projection technology are wasted when they are pointed at an old-fashioned white screen (or wall!!) in a bright room. Using TrueALR screens, like VDL Supernova, which are black until projected light hits them, unlocks the power and beauty of state-of-the-art laser 3LCD projection and the latest lens technologies.
So, how big is big enough?
In a standard room with a ceiling height of 2.7m, using AVIXA's DISCAS standard leads us to a minimum display size of 120" (16:9) or 150" (21:9).
