LED Video Scoreboards 101
THINKING ABOUT PURCHASING AN LED VIDEO
SCOREBOARD?
As you have probably already heard by now, if
your current scoreboard just tells the score, the
facility or stadium isn't doing nearly all it can for your
school, athletes or community. There is no end to
the opportunities big-screen imagery, graphics and
animations can offer your school and community - but
what happens if a visual issue appears on the screen
the day of the big game?
Often schools get caught up in a sales pitch about
the endless revenue generating possibilities of a video
scoreboard, but never educate themselves on the
technology behind the product, or startling differences
between manufacturers' features. When shopping
for an LED Video scoreboard, Formetco Sports
encourages schools and facilities to ask the following
questions and to compare to the features of Formetco
video scoring solutions.
WHAT TYPES OF WARRANTY COME STANDARD?
The Formetco FTX is the only video scoreboard
with both a 10-year parts warranty on the screen and
a 10-year brightness warranty standard.
DOES THE SCOREBOARD USE FANS TO COOL
COMPONENTS?
Fans are trouble makers when it comes to video
scoreboards. Scoreboards that utilize fans cost more
to operate, they suck in moisture causing power
supply failures, and fan filters get clogged and must
be cleaned, or replaced. Formetco video scoreboards
are made with high efficiency components that do not
require fans for cooling, instead Formetco displays are
environmentally cooled, thus making them the lowest
cost to operate units available.
WHAT " TRUE " PIXEL PITCHES ARE OFFERED?
Shoppers should ask manufacturers for a total true
pixel count. Many manufacturers use false sales tactics
when it comes to the pixel pitch of their product.
Formetco only utilizes true pixel pitches, which have at
least 30% more LED's than " optimized " products.
MAKE SURE TO ASK ABOUT STANDARD SERVICE
AND SUPPORT.
As a standard feature, Formetco provides service
and support seven days a week, 365 days per year to
everyone, no matter the size.
Make sure you do your homework when shopping
for an LED Video Scoreboard. Now that LED video
scoreboards are obtainable for high schools and
smaller colleges, a lot of manufacturers are popping
up selling unproven products. Formetco has been
owned and operated by the same family since it was
founded in 1968. No other LED display manufacturer
in the industry can make a better claim. No other
manufacturer in the industry has a more proven
process for success.
