I wonder what this new HD video wall will be like and if they'll continue to use the green screens... I like the green screens over a video wall any day.

They should just purchase HD LCD TV's that are like 80 inches + and use those with height adjustment stands.
But hey, thats cool :)

I hope it's not like what Al uses during WUWA, or what WNBC in New York uses for weather.

Not sure. My producer friend said they wouldn't be using the main studio until 7. They are also fixing a few other things. Guess we shall see

I hope it's something like the first video wall, not just some 70" flat screen, touch screen television like Al's in NYC.

Most definitely.  The green screen gives a more clear picture.  I think it is kind of pointless to be watching TV, and have the weather person stand in front of another (big) TV. 

A station here went HD a few months ago and has been using a big video projection wall for some segments, and it looks horrible.

I think you got us a little confused when you said this post Martin:

Also, is this new wall going to be in the same place where the old one was? I also hope it's not the one Al uses, and that they won't use the crappy handheld cameras that would make the video shaky.

Same thing I want to know, Mike. Have they been removing/changing the original behind our backs? :thinking:

Al's is more like 100" or more.

Whoops sorry about that. I know only as much as I said. Sorry :/ Here is the exact wording I got

"they're here working on our receiver systems - and a new HD wall - so we're pretty much down for the count until 7pm"

Is there a possibility that the HD wall could be ready in the next few days, or will it take longer than that?

Have they finished putting in the new HD wall? I'm noticing the video wall is a lot clearer and crisper when Chris stood in front of the video wall tonight.

Might be. I went back and looked and it does indeed look better. Was PME in the HD studio today?
