Discerning Executive Achieves Vision for High-End Boardroom with ViewSonic 216-inch 4K Direct View Display

Boardroom design often reflects the style of a company’s top executive. The president and owner of this growing data services firm sought to remake his boardroom at the corporate headquarters to reflect the company’s modern services as well as his own contemporary design tastes.

His office manager hired a design team known for its high-end creativity and use of state-of-the-art technology. Their display technology recommendation: Direct View LED. Sure, they said, a typical LCD display would look good, but it wouldn’t deliver the most modern look available. For that, an ultra-slim Direct View LED display was the current leading-edge product. For example, they said, a typical LCD is more than 3-inches thick from front to back. Direct View LED displays, by contrast, skim the wall at just over a single inch.

Additionally, the designer pointed out, Direct View LED was the only option to achieve sizes bigger than 98-inches without combining LCD displays and having distracting frames breaking up the image. And since this room would not be used for collaborative work teams (they had other spaces for this) an interactive display was not needed.

After sharing this information and some photographs with the company president, he agreed to move in this direction. The design team worked with their integration partner to research and test Direct View LED displays from several manufacturers. The president gave them carte blanch on the final decision. The team chose ViewSonic in part because they were the only manufacturer to return their call and spend time talking with them about the product’s unique features. ViewSonic further offered on-site supervision of the installation, impressing the designer with their start-to-finish support.

Beyond the outstanding service, the designer was impressed by the simplicity and ease of what looked like it might be a challenging technology to work with. ViewSonic offered an all-in-one Direct View LED solution that included

everything needed in one box – from the display system components to the power supply and integrated management software. The product itself included everything needed for executing conference calls using popular applications like Zoom and Microsoft Teams via individual laptops or other devices. The built-in Wi-Fi and operating system would make it easy for users to work in a familiar PC environment for app installation, web browsing, and wireless device connection.

With the space remodel complete, installation of the ViewSonic^® Direct View LED 4K 216-inch display was accomplished in less than a day by a local installer supervised by the ViewSonic team member. The team accessed a company video from their website and had it playing on the screen before bringing the president to see it for the first time. According to the office manager, he couldn’t have been more pleased.

The executive boardroom had always been the epicenter of the most important company meetings. Now, the ambiance and technology fit the firm’s expanded position in the industry. It was also the springboard for additional conference room upgrades. After meeting in the updated space, it wasn’t long before members of the executive team started wanting a ViewSonic Direct View LED display for their departmental conference rooms. Their only questions were about the ability to easily share content both in the room and from remote teammates.

The office manager again consulted with their AV expert, learning that both scenarios could be easily accomplished with the ViewSonic Direct View LED displays. Pre-installed ViewBoard^® Cast software would enable direct wireless content streaming from mobile devices to the display. Remote users could share content though the screen-sharing capabilities of the ﬁ rm’s Microsoft Teams conferencing app. Later that year, the company installed 163-inch ViewSonic 4K Direct View LED displays into four additional conference rooms.
