The Gateway to Times Square LED Spectacular

SNA Displays manufactured and supplied a pair of stacked LED displays for out-of-home (OOH) media company BIG OUTDOOR. The digital platform is located at 1627 Broadway, at the north end of the Times Square bow tie. Dubbed “The Gateway to Times Square,” the LED duo sits atop the Duane Reade building at the corner of 50^th and Broadway. It faces north, providing long read times to traffic entering the Crossroads of the World.

Both outdoor video screens employ SNA Displays’ 8 mm EMPIRE™ Exterior LED display technology. The larger of the two LED spectaculars is the bottom display, measuring 25'2" high x 75'7" wide (960 x 2,880 pixels). The top display is 20'6" x 59'10" (780 x 2,280 pixels). Combined, the digital signage processes 4.5 million pixels across more than 3,100 square feet of digital canvas.

After having manufactured some of the industry’s largest and highest-resolution LED displays, SNA Displays knows how to get the job done on a massive scale.
