Case Study: Gemological Institute of America achieves an engaging, educational video experience with Planar Systems' Planar Mosaic

Gemological Institute of America - Customer Case Study

The Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the world’s authority on diamonds, colored stones and pearls, needed a striking way to present its research, education and grading activities and to engage visitors at its New York City offices. GIA turned to Planar Systems to provide the Planar Mosaic Architectural Video Wall to deliver concise, informative and memorable multimedia presentations in the client waiting area.

Planar Systems installed twenty 22‑inch Planar Mosaic tiles mounted back‑to‑back in a single ribbon, producing a nearly seamless, ultra‑slim (4‑inch) display with a unique aspect ratio for creative content. The off‑board electronics support 24/7 operation, ~50,000‑hour lifecycle and no additional cooling—reducing heat-related failures and operating costs—while the installation has attracted positive feedback and materially improved the space’s ability to engage, educate and impress visitors.
