Menu Boards- What We Saw in 2014
December 30, 2014 By Origin Display Group
As we get set to bookend another year (crazy) we always like to take a look back at some goings-on and trends that have happened over the course of 365 days. In that time we have seen a lot, some of which is good and others not-so-good. Either way, when you sit back and analyze what has transpired it is crazy to think that it all happened in 2014.
In this blog we’re not going to hit you with hard stats and charts about where things are going from where they’ve been. It is more subjective; through sales on our end, things we’ve read and thousands of conversations we’ve had. So without further adieu, take a read of what we’ve seen and let us know if you agree.

Consumer LCDs a Big No-No in Retail Space
August 10, 2013 By Origin Display Group
As we go about our business here at Origin Displays the same conversation continues to be had regarding the actual medium that will be displaying the content of any digital menu board system. This medium, of course, is the LCD/LED monitor. It has always been our business practice to explain the benefits of using commercial grade LCDs versus the use of consumer/residential units that you would purchase for your home. We explain this as best as we can (until we’re blue in the face) rather than strong arming our prospects in to using our exclusively selected screens. The reason for this is twofold: (1) in our opinion, the cost/benefit of using a commercial unit as opposed to the alternative is not our decision to make, and (2) the LCD market is very transparent, meaning that the back and forth about specifications of “this LCD” or “that LED,” and the pricing negotiation based on what consumers find online at a third rate website is counter-productive and ends up being a bottle-neck for everyone involved.
