Daktronics LED Message Center from Signarama Troy | Metro Detroit

Della's LED (8)

Signarama Troy | Metro Detroit has taken more orders for LED Message Centers this year to date than we have historically in years past. The technology of the LED message center has come a long way since it’s inception in the 1980’s. Our main supplier Daktronics just installed the world’s largest LED sign in March of 2014. The sign spans 60 feet high by 362 feet wide and features a 13HD pixel layout. While your storefront may not have quite the capacity of the Jacksonville Jaguars, our partners displays are far superior than competitors. 
One of the advantages of a Daktronics LED message center from Signarama Troy | Metro Detroit is the support and ease of use for the software components. Below are some of the points as provided on www.daktronics.com.
