Scalable & Custom
Scalable & Custom
Black Diamond Tiles™ are completely customizable as well as scalable. Neodymium magnets affix Black Diamond Tiles™ to our custom rigid frame creating a display of any size or aspect ratio, limited only by your imagination. Each panel can be arranged in either landscape or portrait orientation for a unique, one-of-a-kind display with custom sizes available.
Modular
Black Diamond Tiles™ feature a modular design for easy specification, compact shipping, and fast service. Difficult logistics, elevator shafts, and tight spaces are welcome.
New LED Back Lighting
Like Black Diamond Zero Edge™, Black Diamond Tiles™ supports LED backlighting, a simple yet underutilized technology that makes it easier for the human eye to watch bright content in a darkened room. Backlighting reduces eyestrain and improves the cinematic experience while also complementing existing design and décor by adding warmth and ambiance. Zero Edge™ screens and Black Diamond Tiles™ by SI are the only ones on the market that can effectively support LED backlighting. This is because our frame designs were created to allow LED lighting to be embedded into the aluminum extrusion, thereby delivering perfectly angled light onto the surrounding walls.
New LED Lighting features include:
New LED Lighting features include:
- Full perimeter LED lighting

LG Unveil’s 105-inch, Cinema-Wide 4K TV at CES
LG Unveil’s 105-inch, Cinema-Wide 4K TV at CES
Washington, D.C. (January 5, 2014) – LG has announced that it will showcase several new 4K TVs at this week’s Consumer Electronics Show, including a curved-screen 105-inch set with a 21:9 cinema aspect ratio.
The company said in a press release that the 105-inch, curved-screen 4K TV, model 105UC9, will feature 5120 x 2160 resolution, which is more than previous 4K sets, which are 3820×2160.
However, some display experts have questioned whether the average person can see much difference in the resolution of the average 4K TV, which purports to be four times greater than 1080p HDTVs. So it remains to be seen if this LG set actually offers a better picture than other 4K TVs, also known as Ultra HD TVs.
LG says the extra wide-screen will enable viewers to access information on the side of the screen without missing any of the action. The company’s press release does not offer a launch date or pricing information.

DIRECTV Loses Fee Fight, Weather Channel Now Missing
DIRECTV Loses Fee Fight, Weather Channel Now Missing
DIRECTV has lost the Weather Channel of all things because of a heated fee fight with popular channel. These two companies have spent the previous 48 hours hunkered down in a nasty war of words and PR releases. That ended this morning without a new agreement being reached between the two negotiators. The previous agreement ended in 2013, but both parties involved agreed to allow the deadline to be pushed back to this morning at 12:00 am.
At the stroke of midnight, channel 362 went dark, with the Weather Channel no longer being broadcast to DIRECTV’s customers.
DIRECTV countered this problem by replacing the Weather Channel with Weather Nation TV, something that it would seem went unnoticed by most of its’ customers. Currently channels 361 and 362 have this content being broadcast on it, with no notice or explanation being given to its’ customers. DIRECTV had the foresight to plan for this possibility by adding this channel to their line up in mid December of 2013.
The Weather Channel released a statement claiming that DIRECTV wants to reduce its’ rates to carry their content, something they feel is completely unjustified and unfair. DIRECTV denied these allegations in their own PR release, claiming that may of their customers have complained that the channel recently shifted their focus to weather related reality TV offerings instead of just the weather itself.
The Weather Channel, in their latest barrage in this war of words, has begun a campaign urging viewers to contact their members of congress to add pressure to DIRECTV to keep their channel on the air, citing that it is a public safety issue for the general population at large.
Only time will tell if The Weather Channel will be returning to DIRECTV’s lineup.

Samsung unveils world’s biggest home TV with massive 110 inch screen
- Samsung’s UHDTV110 has been described as like looking out of a window
- The ultra high-definition has also been called ‘mind blowing’
- This behemoth will go on sale in the Spring
This is the biggest home TV ever made to watch at home – with a huge 110in screen. The vast panel has been likened to looking through a window and will be on sale from next spring.
It is one of the new generation of supersize ultra high-definition TVs which promise astonishing picture clarity.
However, there are smaller models with screens of 50-60ins with more modest price tags
Next year’s football World Cup in Brazil will be the first major event to be broadcast in full Ultra HD to viewers in Japan, while the Rugby World Cup in England in 2015 will be the first in the UK.
The screen is so big that players in sports matches will appear almost life-size to viewers

Consumer electronics guru, Barry Fox, said the images on the new sets are extremely impressive, offering a far better experience than 3D.
‘The pictures are mind-blowing, it is like looking through a window,’ he said.
The set was unveiled by Samsung’s Michael Zoeller, senior director of European sales and marketing, among a number of new innovations at an industry tech show in Berlin.
He said the screen is so big that players would appear almost life-size to viewers during a football match.
‘This looks stunning. The screen in nearly 2.5 metres across,’ he said.
Samsung’s S9C features a giant 55-inch curved screen to give viewers a cinema experience in their living room. It also offers a MultiView feature that allows two people to watch different shows at the same time
Viewers wear glasses that pick up one piece of content at a time, with audio delivered through an earpiece.
The South Korean electronics giant also unveiled a television that allows two people to watch different shows at the same time.
The S9C features a giant 55-inch curved screen to give viewers a cinema experience in their living room.
The television boasts a cutting-edge OLED screen – offering the ‘amazing’ MultiView feature.
The Mutli-view feature is hoped to put an end to arguments over the remote control
Viewers wear special glasses that pick up one piece of content at a time, with audio delivered through a built-in earpiece.
‘Two people can watch two different programmes at the same time in full screen in full HD and even in 3D with Samsung MultiView glasses,’ said Zoeller.
‘It is like having two televisions in one.’
A spokesperson for the company was unable to confirm when it will be on sale in the UK.
Another TV in the range, the S9 OLED television, features a curved screen, which Samsung claims makes the viewer feel like they are ‘standing in an arena’
