What’s up, #AVtweeps? Welcome to Hell Week, as we in the rAVe family affectionately call it, referring to the week before InfoComm. We’re slap-happy and sleep-deprived and definitely looking forward to the show! Speaking of which, if you haven’t registered for InfoComm 2023 yet, you can still use our code “RAVE” for free entry onto the show floor!

Anyway, make sure to check out one of Gary Kayye’s recent columns all about how LG Display will supply high-end TV panels to Samsung Electronics. What’s this about and what does it mean for our industry? Read more here.

Also, Mark Coxon argues that AV is HR in his most recent column. Are we ready to start realizing this? Are we still on whether AV is IT? Check it out.

Finally, I don’t know how I could possibly pack any more news into this issue. I don’t think I can. That’s pre-InfoComm for you!

Enjoy the rest of your week!

COLUMNS

 

+ LG Display to Supply High-End TV Panels to Samsung Electronics — What Does This Mean? [Gary Kayye]

In a wild twist of fate, Reuters is reporting that, “South Korea’s LG Display Co Ltd (034220.KS) will start supplying high-end TV panels to Samsung Electronic Co Ltd (005930.KS) from as early as this quarter, three sources said, in a deal that would help the loss-making flat-screen maker turn profitable.” Well, what do we have here? It’s all about BLACK. The truth is that other than LEDs, no other direct-view display technology delivers black-black, than OLED.

+ AV Is HR [Mark Coxon]

In my typical fashion, I am tossing aside the question of whether or not AV is IT altogether, and instead, I put forward a completely different argument. AV is HR. Before you roll your eyes, let’s zoom out a little. The conversations around the future of work, work from anywhere, return to office are rampant and many are still struggling to find ways to use technology to upgrade their facilities to serve their workforce moving into the future.
