This store got Walmart's fancy new electronics tables, but lacks any signage -- the TVs on the back wall go pretty much all the way to the ceiling instead! I miss the days when stores had big synchronized programming on their display TVs, instead of having each one doing its own random thing as you can see here. I suppose now that pretty much every TV is a "smart" TV, there's no longer a need to have a local TV network set up to provide a feed for them to display.
The old video distribution systems stores used did help customers compare TVs using a common video package, but in reality, most TV in store displays are set to unreasonable brightness and contrast settings and so it might be hard to make much of a comparison anyway. It isn't like the old CRT TV days. I suppose these days, most TVs have some kind of built-in demo mode and so maybe that's what Walmart is using on most of those TVs. All the different signals makes for a confusing looking background!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm guessing the demo videos are something specific to the TVs, since they feature the TV manufacturer's branding prominently -- very different from the old days of featuring the store's branding!
DeleteThanks for the link!
