Already having a laptop, a tablet, a smartphone, and probably a TV set, I can imagine you asking yourself why you should bother with a video wall. That question is fully understandable, but after this article, I hope to show you that the purpose of a video wall is quite different. Specifically, video walls aim to enrich your social life by turning your home into a go-to location for gatherings.
How often have you found yourself wishing you could redecorate your living room, only to be discouraged by the costs it would surely provoke? If it could only be as simple as changing your desktop and screensaver photos… With video walls, it is that simple! While video walls can perfectly serve for a ‘Netflix and chill’ night-in, providing the big-screen experience from the comfort of your couch, they are primarily used to show visual art, such as digitalized paintings and photography.
They allow more frequent change of artwork, which can completely change the atmosphere of the room without refurnishing. All in all, home video walls are, for a very good reason, the next big thing in home decoration.
Installing a video wall can be a considerable investment, but there is a considerable range of prices to suit different budgets and needs. Be sure to know what you expect from your screen. Video walls can project videos and art work on a big screen, acting interchangeably as a home cinema and a modern gallery, for an affordable price.
This would allow you to binge watch series in grand style (perfectly instagrammable!); to host all of your friends for a basketball match without anyone getting annoyed for not having a good view; and to have different artwork displaying every couple of minutes/days/months or as you please. Although technology is often blamed for causing more and more isolation in the society, in the case of video walls, technology is likely to encourage social gatherings at your home!
Feeling more confident about your flat, knowing you will wow your friends with the cutting-edge design, you will feel brave enough to have people over on a regular basis. It is definitely worth a second thought!
If you require more interactive video wall with a touch screen, you can expect to play considerably more. However, the investment can definitely be worth it. The interactive kind allow for all the above, while also being great for education. If you have small children or high school kids living at your home, they could benefit from an interactive learning environment. Children are much more likely to see this type of learning as entertainment rather than a chore. In this way, having a video wall could not only help their learning but also motivate them to do more.
With video walls still gaining popularity and making their way into homes, your children, too, will have all the more reason to ask their friends over to play and study. This could be the single most important reason for young families to seriously consider a video wall an improvement, rather than useless technology for their new living room.
Finally, video walls offer many possibilities, all while being aesthetically pleasing. No one is denying that the costs of getting one are considerable, but it is important to think of it as a long-term investment. With careful planning and detailed research, nothing is impossible.
