Video Board Shootout:
Criteria to Compare Before Buying
When it comes time to replace your living room TV, you’ll do your homework as a savvy consumer: you’ll learn about specs, read reviews, and trek out to your local electronics emporium for a side-by-side comparison.
Shouldn’t you do the same for a multi-million dollar video board solution?
And yet, many sports and entertainment venues, complexes, and theme parks end up choosing a vendor without digging in and doing their due diligence. While consultants can help, there simply aren’t many resources out there to help video board buyers make an informed decision.
This handy guide is here to change that—empowering you to comparison-shop video board solutions with a little more insight.
What questions should you be asking? Which little-known specs have an outsized impact on price and performance? How can you future-proof your fan experience? Read on for the answers to these questions and more, as we run down the top seven criteria to consider before you buy.
1. Price
Most customers begin with price—many don’t go much further. While achieving the right price point is always critical, it should never be your sole focus. Less expensive boards often cost more in the long run due to inefficient power usage, frequent outages, and rapid degradation.
