The Brief

Having built a long, trusted relationship with Star Sports for a number of years, and recently completing a full technological transformation in one of their flagship Mayfair stores, TVC were asked to help renovate their Salford site.

The Delivery

Located in the shop windows of Star Sports Salford shop are high-bright in-window signage displays from LG and Samsung, secured into place by Peerless’ Flat-to-Wall Security Locking Mounts.

Ultra-high brightness in-window displays are perfect for use in direct sunlight, as these digital signage displays deliver outstanding picture quality with a high contrast ratio and optimal brightness. This allows the passers-by outside the shop window to distinctly view all the promotional offerings Star Sports has to offer.

Further to that, these models are specifically designed to be operational 24 hours a day with their energy saving specifications. This means that even outside of working hours, Star Sports has to capability to display promotional content 24/7.

Focusing on Peerless’ exceptional wall mount range, these are the ideal choice for in-window displays due to their secure locking bar and padlock technology. Their impressive Ramplock feature on the lock bar further increases the impressive nature of their wall mount, as it significantly reduces the screen’s movement and vibration.
