Digital displays

[Chris in U.K.]

Does anyone know of a digital display system, either LED matrix or LCD bars that is PC-controlled? I'm talking about the sort of thing that they have up in public buildings to display messages, whose turn it is next at the desk, etc....

Thanks,

Chris.

Yes, I know about TFTs. They're used in office alot, you can use it with a PC, they will replace the CRTs sooner or later and you also can buy it for your PC if you want.

So what now ?
Wanna get more information about them ? Wanna buy one ? Do you need suggestions, or recommendations ? Plan to replace your CRT with a TFT ?

Chris in U.K. is looking for one of those 'marquee' thingys, not a TFT monitor ... if I'm not mistaken. It's usually about 3 to 4 feet wide and 1/2 foot high.

something like http://www.ledsigns.ca/

Ah, now I see.

Archie is right. Thanks for the link, Archie. RJ, could you do me a big favour and see if you can find me a link to a company called Kubler (with umlaut) who I've been told do things like this?

Many thanks,


Chris.

This is not Kubler but check out http://www.microsyst.de/Anzeigesysteme/Anzeiges_E.htm

Thanks again, Archie. Both your links look very promising. Is this something you are involved in professionally, or are you just being extra-helpful?

Nah Chris, I just like to help my old PCMech buddy from the UK. Here's another link that has a lot of electrical suppliers that may be closer to home ... http://www.oem.co.uk/Electrical_Divi...-suppliers.htm HTH

Hi,

I searched for Kübler, but couldn't find these LED matrix displays on their site.

Anyway there were a few Küblers but this one has to do with displays, etc., so I think this can help you:

Thanks, guys.

Making real progress. I'll let you know how the project turns out.
