Confirm what the site can support.
Confirm dimensions, sight lines, service access, power, data, ventilation, structure, permits, and property approval.
Document ambient light, operating hours, content ownership, and any accessibility or emergency-message requirements.
What affects project cost?
- Linear footage, geometry, pixel pitch, protection, and processing
- Rigging, structure, data, control room, content, installation, commissioning, and service
Ownership and lifecycle planning
- Plan commissioning, operator training, warranty contacts, diagnostics, maintenance access, spare-parts strategy, and eventual replacement.
- Compare labor, freight, software, connectivity, energy, content, downtime exposure, and service response—not hardware price alone.
What should be confirmed before ordering?
Start with the location, photos, available display area, typical audience and viewing distance, sample content, target date, and any known power, network, structure, or approval information.
Compare qualified systems around the application.
Brand references are evaluation starting points—not exclusivity, universal availability, or authorized-dealer claims.

Questions to settle before the proposal.
What should I send to begin a ribbon and perimeter displays project?
Start with the location, photos, available display area, typical audience and viewing distance, sample content, target date, and any known power, network, structure, or approval information.
Do I need to choose a manufacturer first?
No. The useful manufacturer path follows the application, viewing conditions, controls, service access, schedule, and ownership priorities.
What is especially important for this display type?
Geometry, spectator and camera views, player safety, rigging, live control, synchronization, sponsor content, and service access deserve specialist review.
Can Full Circle provide a firm price from this page?
Not responsibly. Site, display, control, installation, electrical, structural, permit, freight, service and support requirements must be aligned before pricing is confirmed.
You do not need a display model to begin.
Send the location, a photo, approximate display area, audience, typical content and desired timing. We will organize the next questions.
