Planar Tech Expo Preview

Hello, everyone, and welcome to our TechX Boe sneak peek series with our Golden Platinum sponsors. You know, so many of us find the rapidly evolving display technology is kind of the most exciting part of the Pro AB industry. And today, we dig into one of our valued partners on that front. With me here is Michael O' Hallaren. He is the regional account manager with PlanR, one of them. He has over thirteen years experience, working in the digital displaced business, both on the technical and presales side, as well as managing regional sales accounts. So thanks for being here, Michael, so that people can get a sneak peek into what Planar has in store for the upcoming tech expo. Sounds great. Thanks for having me. Alright. So for those who don't have a full grasp on who plan art is, can you tell us a little bit about the company and what your core technology offerings are? Sure. Planor has been around since the 80s. We originated as an OEM of CD displays. And then over the years, we gravitated into commercial large format displays. Ultra narrow bezel, video wall products, and most recently, of course, LED video walls. We're still active in all those categories today. Very cool. Alright. So do you have an idea of what people can expect to see at the planar booth? Yes. You know, the buzz the rave is all about LED, so we'll have a small installation of our new direct light ultra zero point nine millimeter LED. The product's been available for about a year now. It is a true micro LED and it's a part of the same series that we're we're cutting pixel pitches down to point six millimeters. So this cabinet in this series is certainly a part of the bleeding edge of the technology, and I'll be happy to show it and introduce everyone to it. Yeah. I know I got to see a little bit of a little bit of it at infocom and I can't wait to just have it at the tech expos. Everyone can take a look. Alright. So lastly here, is there anything that you might tell people that they would get real value out of by visiting Planar's booth and talking to your experts in display technologies and perhaps LED. Sure. Well, you know, you mentioned that there's always a lot of changes in this industry in display technologies. You know, my background has been between a couple of manufacturers. I'll be happy to talk about that more more frankly when we're together face to face. And that's pretty much it. You know, how do you discern the differences of what's available and where is the future going? I think it's clear that it's becoming LED, but LED is not the only shell in town and there's still a number of applications where other technologies still work. It'd be great to talk about what your application and use case are. So we can go to the portfolio and see what might be might be the right solution for you. Yeah. Sounds great. Great. And I know Michael's a great guy, so anyone who has some time, please check out Planar's booth at the tech expo. He's a wealth of knowledge, and you definitely won't regret it. Alright. So thanks Michael. We'll see you in just a little bit over a month. Alright. Great. We'll see you then. Alright. Take care.
