Screen Innovations (SI), the company who introduced Black Diamond, the ambient-light rejecting screen, announces the introduction of Tiles, a new screen tiling system. Built with the award-winning Black Diamond screen technology, Tiles can go as large as 288” W by 162” H (330” diagonal), and is 4K/8K+ rated and UHD/HDR ready.
“Black Diamond has been touted as the best screen that money can buy however, it comes with limitations,” says Skyler Meek, Director of Marketing for SI. “Because of the extreme engineering required to manufacture the optical qualities in the material, it is limited in height. To overcome this, SI has created a system that uses smaller, rigid tiles precision-bonded together in order to create one larger screen.”
"What’s so revolutionary about this system, is that there is now a solution for a massive ‘video wall’ type screen without any of the headaches, installation problems, or budget concerns that give integrators nightmares."

To build a Black Diamond video wall, panels are placed next to each other with a nearly invisible seam, and stacked in a running-bond pattern for strength. Meek says this is achieved by SI's all-new, computer controlled cutting system, which is capable of cutting to extremely precise specifications. He says this attention to detail is designed to ensure customers receive the best possible accuracy, quality, and longevity from their tile screens.
SI has designed a system that is 75% pre-fabricated; each panel then snaps into place with an attachment system that utilizes neodymium magnets. This installation process allows integrators to assemble a video wall of virtually any size. All panels are precision-cut and stocked in three sizes: 45”, 50” and 55” for 16:9 and 43”, 48”, and 53” for 16:10.
“What's so revolutionary about this system,” Meek continues, “is that there is now a solution for a massive ‘video wall' type screen without any of the headaches, installation problems, or budget concerns that give integrators nightmares. Tiles require only a single light source, are a breeze to install, and are maintenance free (except for the occasional gentle dusting.) And the technology is future-proofed with 8K+ resolution rating and UHD/HDR capability.”
Meek concludes, “Tiles with Black Diamond are the perfect solution for commercial installations and high traffic areas such as digital signage, restaurants, educational facilities, stadiums, and just about any location where bright, detailed images are critical.”
