Consulting and IT services leader seeks cutting-edge display solution
As the world’s largest comprehensive consulting and IT service company, Accenture offers a wide range of services and solutions that drive innovation for leading enterprises and public organization clients worldwide.
Accenture had explored options for updating large LCD screens at two of its sites in Japan with a state-of-the-art display solution. Their requirements soon led them to evaluate Crystal LED—Sony’s scalable LED wall display system that combines spectacular high-definition image quality with exceptional installation flexibility.

Exceptional picture quality plus installation flexibility
“Crystal LED has excellent contrast properties, which was striking from the moment we first saw it,” notes a representative from the Infrastructure Services for Accenture (IT Department). “With this quality, we believed that Crystal LED could accommodate an extensive range of applications—including, of course, visual content. We therefore decided to install Crystal LED at two centers, with one unit in Akasaka Intercity AIR (AIR) and two units in the Accenture Innovation Hub Tokyo (AIT).
“As the replacement for an existing display system, we had to use the same installation space ‘as-is,’ as far as possible. We also had a limited time to work in—this was another consideration that encouraged us to adopt Crystal LED. The system is also very easy to maintain.”
Impressive clarity in every environment
Accenture’s use of the scalable display differs at the two locations where it’s installed: “In the boardroom at AIR, Crystal LED is primarily used for executive meetings as well as presentations and demonstrations for invited clients. Here the top priority is providing clear, highly visible materials. Crystal LED satisfies this with its bezel-free construction, with no visible seams between each display module that ensures an easy-to-read display with no breaks in visual content and text.”
Meanwhile the first of two units at AIT is installed in the building’s open collaboration area that’s used for press conferences as well as other in-house and external events. In this environment the 13.98 x 7.84‑ft display allows content to be seen clearly from a distance, and from any angle without being compromised by the brightness of the lighting.
Measuring 15.94 x 4.49 ft, the other display is installed in the AIT boardroom. In this environment it’s often used by motion graphics creators who value the detail-packed picture quality, contrast, and accurate color reproduction that Crystal LED delivers.
Photorealistic images that conventional screens can’t match
“People who have witnessed Crystal LED comment favorably that its completely bezel-free design makes the display look exactly like a photograph or three-dimensional object,” notes an Infrastructure Services for Accenture (IT Department) representative. “Once you’ve seen the high-luminance, high-contrast large screen of Crystal LED, you may not be able to go back to conventional LCD panel large-screen displays.”
