4K displays are beautiful and our visitors are mesmerized by the content," Palley said in the case study. It was essential that the displays chosen for this area were 4K capable in order to show the footage with the highest level of detail possible, LG said. The displays feature native 4K content that Palley captured of marine life in Hawaii and the Philippines. Boasting a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels – four times higher than standard 1920x1080 full-HD displays – the 84-inch UHD displays showcase the vivid colors and fluid movement of the living corals and thousands of colorful reef fish of the tropical Indo-Pacific.Īccording to the case study, the aquarium's in-house AV team installed two of the massive 84-inch displays overnight, fitting them into two custom-made kiosks designed to look just like coral to give visitors the experience of seeing the underwater world from eye-level. The aquarium was looking for a way to grab the attention of passersby for its "Tropical Diver" gallery, one of the Aquarium's six galleries, to draw them in to see one of the largest living reef exhibits of any aquarium in the world. "LG's video wall was a great aesthetic addition to the space, while the ultra-HD monitors were also able to vividly display the native 4K content that we capture from around the world."
"We were looking to improve the image quality of our screens and replace the antiquated equipment we were currently using," said Ryan Palley, the aquarium's senior manager of audio/visual in a case study from the display provider. The aquarium has installed two 84-inch ultra-HD displays from LG Electronics USA and a two-by-two direct LED video wall using 55-inch slim-bezel displays from LG to add to the entertainment and educational experience of the 2 million visitors that pass through the aquarium annually. Digital signage is netting new 'fish' for the Georgia Aquarium, helping it better interact with and engage visitors.
