SNA Displays Retrofits W Boston Hotel’s Aging Digital Display with New LED Screen
SNA Displays manufactured and supplied a new EMPIRE™ exterior display product for the W Boston, a trendy hotel located in the middle of a triangle formed by Boston’s Chinatown, Bay Village, and the Boston Commons.
The digital billboard will run content from Orange Barrel Media and its high-traffic location makes it perfect for advertising in downtown Boston.
The W Boston outdoor LED screen employs an 8 mm pixel pitch and is 23'7" tall by 17'10" wide (900 pixels by 680 pixels). The one-sided display extends over the walkway with 612,000 total pixels and a surface area of 422 square feet.
As proven by the W Boston installation, SNA Displays’ LED products are highly adaptable to any building structure, new or old. For example, this project involved designing and building a custom subframe that matches the exact locations of existing knife plate mounts while simultaneously allowing for x-, y-, and z-axis adjustments between cabinets.
This project was a nighttime installation involving the Davis Sign Company and Aldon Electric. It’s also not far from Millennium Place, another digital out-of-home (OOH) collaboration between Orange Barrel Media and SNA Displays.
