Lotte Cinema Finds a New Solution with Paintpam’s Blockscreen Instead of LED Replacement

In the cinema industry, image quality is a critical factor directly linked to customer satisfaction. This not only applies to the screening rooms but also to waiting areas, where advertisements and various types of content are displayed to engage visitors.

Recently, Lotte Cinema faced a major issue. Their large LED panel, installed on a high wall, had aged and was no longer capable of transmitting media properly. However, replacing the LED panel came with significant challenges, including the high cost of a new panel and the considerable expense of dismantling the old one.

Solving the Cost and Efficiency Dilemma

Replacing aging LED panels in cinemas can be an expensive and resource-intensive process. Not only are LED panels costly, but dismantling them from high walls or ceilings often requires additional labor and time. In Lotte Cinema’s case, these costs made the traditional replacement approach impractical.

The LED panels had also started to show issues like unstable color output, which underscored the need for a solution to maintain image quality without incurring excessive costs.

Blockscreen: A Cost-Effective, Non-Intrusive Solution

To address this dilemma, Lotte Cinema turned to Paintpam’s Blockscreen, applying it directly over the aging LED panels without dismantling them. Blockscreen, made from lightweight foamed PVC coated with Paintpam’s proprietary screen paint, offers a seamless installation that doesn’t disrupt the interior design.

This innovative approach allowed Lotte Cinema to bypass the need for expensive structural changes while still achieving high-quality visuals.

Key Features of Blockscreen That Resolved the Issue

1. Exceptional Projection Quality

• When paired with cinema-grade, high-performance projectors, Blockscreen delivers sharp, vibrant images comparable to those of LED screens.

2. Cost Efficiency

• By eliminating the need to dismantle existing LED panels, Blockscreen dramatically reduces replacement and labor costs.

3. Ease of Installation

• Blockscreen can be easily installed on walls or other surfaces without complex processes. It is customizable to fit various screen sizes and configurations, making it adaptable for different spaces.

This approach allowed Lotte Cinema to resolve their issue while maintaining an elegant and professional appearance in their venue.

Combining Blockscreen with High-Performance Projectors

Lotte Cinema utilized their existing high-performance projectors to maximize the effectiveness of Blockscreen. This combination allowed them to create a vibrant, large-scale display that met the high standards expected in cinemas.

By leveraging equipment they already owned, Lotte Cinema avoided the high costs associated with replacing LED panels, offering a practical and economical solution for maintaining superior image quality. Additionally, this method preserved the existing infrastructure and required no significant modifications to the cinema’s interior.

Blockscreen: A Viable Alternative for Large-Scale Displays

For businesses like Lotte Cinema that have access to high-performance projectors, Blockscreen provides an excellent cost-saving solution. Its applications extend beyond cinemas, including:

• Spaces where maintaining aesthetics and avoiding structural damage are priorities.

• Venues where the cost of dismantling and replacing existing setups is prohibitively high.

• Environments requiring customizable screen sizes for unique layouts.

Paintpam’s Blockscreen addresses these challenges by offering a flexible, efficient, and high-quality alternative to traditional LED panel replacements.
