Leeds-based digital out-of-home (DOOH) display specialist UX Global – a certified PPDS Platinum Partner for Philips professional displays – has completed the first UK installation of the brand-new Philips higher brightness 7000 Series dvLED screen technology.
The 3.5m x 3.75m large format LED digital display screen was installed on the High Street-facing wall of UX Global’s retail client, Footasylum’s, newly refurbished Cabot Circus store in Bristol.
The Philips P.3 high bright 7000 Series LED is the display manufacturer’s most energy efficient and cost-effective solution ever. In response to the challenge of the site being in direct sunlight and in a confined space, UX Global’s expert digital signage team worked with PPDS to recommend the Philips professional display, because of its capability to deliver clarity and performance in even the most challenging lighting conditions, and for its flat design.

UX Global carried out the installation works over two consecutive nights so that trading and the smooth running of the store was unaffected. A light sensor was also installed to alter the brightness of the huge LED display screen so that it is suitable and comfortable for viewing in both sunny periods and overnight, with added energy saving benefits.
The hard-working LED window display is complemented by a 2×3 55″ Philips X-Line videowall, nine 32″ Philips D-Lines and one 55″ Philips D-Line. reflect Footasylum’s innovative ethos.
Alistair Wright, Managing Director at UX Global, commented: “The quality of the new Philips high bright LED technology installed at the Bristol store has proven to be an immediate success for Footasylum, punching through the reflective glass and creating an attention-grabbing first impression to draw customers into the store.
“The bold choice to utilise this new technology has helped to maximise return on investment from the refurbishment. It is this kind of unrestricted creativity in any size, shape or location while maintaining the highest visual quality that makes LED so appealing and we are confident this latest installation will stand the test of time for some years to come.”
