Rants and rAVes —

 LG’s VP of Business Development, Dan Smith, joined me today on my daily podcast to talk about their InfoComm booth. Greeting attendees into the booth was a set of transparent OLEDs and giant transparent LEDs — using their new transparent LED film. But, the breadth of their product line was super-impressive and they set a record for leads, visitors and new product launches — all at InfoComm 2018. All the LG product videos we shot are here, and LG’s website is here.
