Philips Professional Display Solutions just hired Tim Allen as its director of business development, LED. A 30-year AV industry veteran, Allen is leading the LED strategy at Philips in a market expected to be $7 billion by 2024 (according to the company).

“We are extremely excited to welcome Tim to our team to develop our LED business,” said Joe King, VP North America, Philips Commercial Displays. “As market demand for large-scale displays continues to grow, we’ve seen continued interest in the versatility and customization that LED has to offer. With extensive experience in the AV industry and a focus on the LED space, Tim is the right person to bring our technology and best-in-class service to the forefront of the conversation. His accomplishments, including success in large venues and servicing multiple verticals, are exactly the big initiatives we’re looking to support.”

All displays are front-serviceable, allowing customers to customize LED modules, cables and power supplies without removing it from the wall. The bundles come in three sizes. Plus, every Philips LED display has A-grade, gold-wired LEDs, extremely high color consistency, excellent contrast and incredible brightness, which is used to improve device performance. Additional product specs include:
