It’s a new year, which means resolutions are a top priority. Many people have vowed to lose weight, exercise more or get healthier, leading to a surge in new gym memberships.

What better time to evaluate your fitness center’s AV equipment?

Have you ever struggled to get your audiovisual equipment to work right before a big event or important meeting - only to find that you need to replace a part or that the new part you need doesn’t work with the system you currently have?

If you walk into a business meeting and the guy in charge of AV comes in pushing a cart with an oversized and outdated overhead projector, you’ll probably want to turn and walk back out (as you should).

A company’s approach to technology and innovation is a huge part of their overall image.

The appearance of your conference room and the AV capabilities it has are what will either draw people in or make them run to the next competitor.

Football season is upon us, which means millions of fans will funnel into 31 different NFL stadiums for the next several months.

The world and everything in it is ever-changing, but technology arguably changes faster than ever. Even if you’re a tech guru or an AV professional, it can be difficult to keep up with the rate of change. Popular technology from 20 years ago is most likely obsolete at this point (VCR, anyone?).

So, if you’re feeling lost in the whirlwind, here are four popular AV trends that you will be seeing a lot more of in the coming year.

Are you looking for a new TV that gives you a cinema-like experience in your own home? What about a digital display that really wow’s your customers?

If so, look no further than the new 65-inch Wallpaper OLED TV made by LG. This new 65-inch OLED TV has won numerous awards, including Engadget Best of the Best and Engadget Best TV Product at CES 2017.

In today’s society, it’s important for classrooms to be connected to the online world in order for students to benefit from learning opportunities available outside of a textbook. Teachers also benefit greatly because they have endless resources at their fingertips.
