New Name - Same Good Stuff

Insight Media has changed the name of one of our monthly reports. With the just released November issue, Projection Monthly with Flat Panel Coverage became Large Display Report. The name change reflects what the 100-page monthly report has, in fact, covered for the last several years.

Large Display Report (LDR) contains news, analysis and commentary on displays, display products, components and materials, business & strategic moves and market intelligence for monitors, TVs, projectors and alternative display systems. This is the same coverage that was in Projection Monthly with Flat Panel Coverage, but the new name, Large Display Report, more clearly reflects this coverage.

"We are particularly proud of the unique and insightful coverage our world-class display analysts bring to this publication each month," noted Chris Chinnock, President of Insight Media. " We try to cover all the important and routine news in large displays each month, and we also provide information on companies and technologies you will not find anywhere else. This includes news and analysis we dig up via trade shows, on-site meetings, emails and telephone conversations throughout the display ecosystem. And, because this news includes commentary from experts in the field, we're able to provide our subscribers with the value they want and have come to expect from us. With this new name change, we will be redoubling our efforts to bring even more of these unique news and analysis articles to help our readers track and understand major trends in the industry and to identify areas of opportunity."

Below is the table of contents for the November edition of Large Display Report. In this issue, we have coverage from the LED 2007 conference held in San Diego as well as coverage from FPD International in Japan, SID's Applications Conference in San Francisco and the SMPTE 3D conference in New York. We have an updated piece on the issues with regulatory compliance for laser-based display systems and a market analysis piece on the instant theater projectors. There is also some very good information on touch screen developments and advancements in AMOLEDs for large-sized displays. A review of the table of contents will show the breadth of this month's coverage - just imagine the value you'll find in a yearly subscription!
