Displays for gaming and entertainment
Gaming cabinets, interactive installations, amusement machines and stage equipment: here the display is the product experience. We help manufacturers choose panels with the right contrast, size and touch, and keep them running through long operating hours.

Why it matters
When the screen is the experience
In gaming and entertainment, image quality is not a spec-sheet exercise: players and audiences notice motion blur, washed-out blacks and laggy touch immediately. Cabinets run long hours in dark venues, interactive installations are touched by crowds, and stage equipment has to stay readable under changing, colorful light.
The right choice balances contrast, viewing angle, touch performance and durability, plus a distinctive format. VA-type panels keep blacks deep in dim rooms, IPS-type panels keep colors stable for players standing at an angle, and stretched, square or curved displays help a cabinet or installation stand out on a crowded floor.

Requirements
What entertainment displays have to deliver
Four things players and audiences notice first.
Contrast in dark venues
VA-type panels with high native contrast keep blacks deep in dim rooms, and smooth dimming avoids glare that tires the eyes.
Motion and response
Fast content needs panels with a quick response time, driven at their native refresh rate by the controller.
Touch at scale
Multi-touch PCAP on large screens has to stay precise behind thick glass, with several players touching at once.
Long operating hours
Venues run their displays most of the day. Long-life backlights and a good thermal design protect the investment.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which panel type is best for a gaming cabinet in a dark venue?
VA-type panels, such as MVA or AMVA, offer the highest native contrast and keep blacks deep in dim rooms. If players view the screen from wide angles, IPS-type panels keep colors consistent. Many cabinets combine a 16:9 main screen with a stretched topper.
Can large touch displays support several players at once?
Yes. Projected capacitive touch panels support multi-touch. The number of simultaneous touch points and performance behind thick glass depend on the sensor and the controller, which we select and tune for your installation.
Do you supply curved or unusual formats?
Yes. Our catalog includes stretched bar-type panels, square displays and curved models from our partners, which we can combine with touch and cover glass.
What brightness is right for stage equipment?
Stage lighting changes constantly and can shine straight onto the unit, so 800–1200 cd/m² IPS panels with anti-glare treatment are a good starting point for mixers and controllers.
