    Hey Guys.

    My studio is creating a new set for a new live online TV show. We’re a small operation with a pretty major following online.

    I have been racking my brain looking for a really good setup for a video wall that is good for live broadcasts. Some of the cheaper ones have terrible refresh rates between live switching sources.

    There is very little information about them online, and I have not been able to find anything out about what other productions use. CNN, The Blaze, MSNBC, Alex Jones, etc all have video walls.

    Does anyone know anything about these setups? Equipment used or the video wall processors needed?

    Thanks again for anyone who can help.

    Hey Marcus,

    The two brands we see most are NEC and Planar. Planar being on the high end.

    NEC has a few different versions with different bezel thickness. You could also look at Samsung, they are a bit cheaper.

    I would also add CineMassive to the list.

    Another option could be projection, it sure has gotten cheaper, and if you have the room to get the lighting right, it could work.
