From inefficient technology to sustainable LED solution

Why now is the right time to move to responsible technology

When is the time to replace?

Many companies and institutions are struggling with the same question. That old video wall in the central hall or meeting room has functioned well for years, but the signs of aging are increasingly apparent. Image quality isn’t what it used to be, parts are becoming more expensive and harder to  source, and the drop-outs are becoming more frequent. Often at the most inopportune time.

Yet many organisations continue to hold on to their old systems. Understandable, because a complete replacement feels like a big investment. But is it really the most cost-effective choice in the long term?

In this timelapse video you can see the renewal of the screen on the Oranjeplein, the beating heart of the KNVB Campus. In no time at all, you can see days of work, smart collaboration and technical precision come together.

The hidden costs of old video walls

What organisations often underestimate are the hidden costs of outdated technology: higher energy costs (up to 60% more), rising maintenance costs due to scarce parts and outages at crucial moments.

Sustainable LED technology: the future-proof choice

The switch to sustainable LED technology is more than a technical upgrade – it is a conscious choice for a responsible future. Modern LED screens not only offer superior performance but also contribute to your sustainability goals.

Sustainability benefits:

• Up to 60% less energy consumption – a direct contribution to CO2 reduction
• 10+ year lifespan – less electronic waste and long-term value retention
• Eco-friendly materials – modern LED technology is being produced more and more sustainably

Operational benefits:

• Superior image quality and appearance
• Reduced maintenance costs through reliable technology
• Advanced connectivity and content management
• Flexibility for future applications

This combination of durability and performance makes LED technology the natural choice for forward-looking organisations.

The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over a period of 10 years often shows a clear picture. A modern LED wall can recoup the extra investment within 4 years due to lower energy and maintenance costs. After that, your organisation will continue to benefit from lower operational costs for years to come.

From theory to practice: KNVB Campus

These considerations are not just theory. The KNVB Campus in Zeist faced exactly the same dilemma. The existing presentation screen in the large central space of the KNVB Campus had had its day. The image quality was very out dated and it had become vulnerable to failure.

Instead of continuing with ongoing repairs, the KNVB Campus chose to upgrade to a modern 20 m² LED wall. Sustainability was a key requirement. Located at the heart of the campus on the central Oranjeplein, the screen operates for long hours each day, only switching off at night.
As such, features like low energy consumption and a long lifespan were essential selection criteria.

The result? The chosen screen has a lifespan of more than 10 years if you have it on constantly. For KNVB Campus, this is not only a visual upgrade that enhances the experience, but also a choice for a more sustainable solution.

The choice is yours

It’s no longer a question if your old video wall should be replaced, but when.
Will you wait until the system fails completely and you’re forced into an emergency replacement? Or will you make a strategic decision to switch to a sustainable LED solution now?

Modern LED solutions are not only better for the environment, but also for your budget. The investment pays for itself, while at the same time making your organisation future-proof.
