Big buyers take over 18 months to approve a display vendor, IndexBox finds

Big buyers take over 18 months to approve a display vendor, IndexBox finds

IndexBox's updated report, published November 13, forecasts about 6.5% yearly growth for commercial displays through 2035. The bigger planning number is 18 months. That is how long major corporate and public-sector buyers routinely take to approve a vendor, locking in screens, firmware and software for multi-year refreshes.

  • 01The display vendor shortlist an enterprise writes this year decides whose screens, firmware and software it runs through a multi-year refresh, because major buyers routinely spend more than 18 months qualifying a supplier.
  • 02Firmware security, content-software API stability and component traceability now count as supply-resilience tests for commercial displays, which puts IT teams beside facilities in the buying decision.
  • 03IndexBox sees pricing power shifting to integrators and software platforms, with steady growth rates of around 6.3% to 6.5% forecasted by independent reports through 2035.

Why Led4Live bought a Coda Audio ViForce system

Why Led4Live bought a Coda Audio ViForce system

Led4Live, a firm that works concerts, festivals and corporate events, bought a Coda Audio ViForce system from Coda's Polish distributor Tommex. The order included 18 four-way cardioid line array modules and four Sub Force subwoofers. Every speaker in the rig is Coda. The purchase reads as a platform bet, with shared software and amplification weighed alongside cardioid stage control.

  • 01Every speaker in Led4Live's new rig, from 18 line array modules down to two stage monitors, comes from Coda Audio and runs on one Dante-enabled amplifier platform.
  • 02Single-box cardioid designs are pitched on what they’re designed to keep off the stage: less rear radiation, fewer reflections and (in theory) better working conditions for performers.
  • 03The cross-range compatibility argument pays off only when mains, fills and monitors share a maker; a mixed-brand rental inventory gets less of it.

LG's Signage Manager app lets store staff run e-paper signs from a phone

LG's Signage Manager app lets store staff run e-paper signs from a phone

LG Electronics announced LG Signage Manager on Nov. 11, 2026. It is a smartphone app for editing, scheduling and monitoring LG's E-paper Display without a PC. Updates go over Wi-Fi when the phone and the display are on the same network, which makes it a tool for on-site staff. The schedules staff set also drive the display's power management, so how often content changes affects energy use.

  • 01On LG's e-paper display, the content schedule a store manager sets in the app is also the instruction the display uses to manage its power.
  • 02LG Signage Manager runs updates and status checks when the phone and display share a network, which makes it a fit for staff on the shop floor and a weaker fit for chains that push content from head office.
  • 03Before a pilot, check two things: whether the app is available in your region, and what the battery readout shows at the update frequency your menus and prices actually need.
