Yeah I thought we were looking at dead pixels for a second. My thought was, "Oh dang these screens just got installed, it's a shame a block of the screen is gone." Thinking that the black squares under the word holiday were the focus point of this post.

Yes, you're correct. Dead cabinets/tiles from sub-par data connections or cheap power supplies, merely weeks after completion.

On an installation like this, the design engineer should have accounted for what's called 'redundancy' data connections, so a client (especially like this) never loses a cabinet if something as simple as a CAT5/6 fails.

Yup, familiar with them- especially the signature Daktonics dealer treatment. If you're in the industry too, you know how angry whatever middle management is going to be after getting a call from the top with-

"Someone drove by this and called Johnny to say 'Hey, your new sign is broken'. Fix it."
