    Samsung Powers Next-Gen Content Creation at Dude Perfect Headquarters

    Samsung Electronics America has partnered with viral entertainment group Dude Perfect to bring cutting-edge display technology to their new, state-of-the-art DPHQ3 headquarters, an immersive creative space in Frisco, Texas, designed to power the next generation of content creation and collaboration.

    Dude Perfect is a renowned sports and comedy entertainment group made up of five friends: Tyler Toney, Coby Cotton, Cory Cotton, Garrett Hilbert and Cody Jones. What started as a simple backyard bet captured on a single camera has skyrocketed into a global phenomenon. With over 61 million subscribers and 18.5 billion views on YouTube, “the Dudes” have redefined family-friendly content, blending jaw-dropping trick shots, sketches and larger-than-life challenges into one of the most well-known digital brands on the planet.

    When designing the DPHQ3 headquarters, the Dude Perfect team wanted a robust technology infrastructure to support content creation, editing and daily operations. Central to this vision was Samsung display technology, which was selected to elevate the visitor experience while enhancing team collaboration and video production.

    “We really wanted to up the production quality of the space,” said Coby Cotton, Co-Founder of Dude Perfect. “We wanted to create additional studios with more capability than before. Think massive LED backdrops, purposefully lit rooms, more space for athletes and celebrities to film with the Dudes — all aimed at expanding the range of content being produced and attracting more creators to the space.”

    Greeting visitors as they enter DPHQ3 and situated prominently within the Dudes’ executive suite for seamless collaboration are The Wall All-in-One 146-inch 4K and The Wall All-in-One 110-inch 2K. These massive microLED screens deliver stunning brightness, vibrant color accuracy and a jaw-dropping visual experience that sets the tone at Dude Perfect’s headquarters. The Wall can be customized to display personalized welcome messages for guests. In the Dudes’ suite, The Wall enables high-impact presentations and creative, hands-on team meetings. Whether serving as a backdrop for filming or a collaborative screen for reviewing content, The Wall is both a creative powerhouse and a consistent showstopper for all who visit.

    Behind the scenes, Samsung 34-inch ViewFinity S65TC Curved and 32-inch ViewFinity S8 4K monitors in the editing bays deliver ultra-high-definition resolution, true-to-life colors and exceptional detail. When editing videos, these displays reduce eye strain and fatigue by adjusting for brightness and color in real-time, helping the team remain focused and comfortable. Editors can even directly access display feeds from other screens in the building, including The Wall. The Dudes also enjoy using Samsung Odyssey G6 monitors in the team’s racing rig setup.

    “DPHQ3 is more than just a corporate office — it’s a purpose-built creative hub for everything Dude Perfect produces,” said David Phelps, Head of Display, Samsung Electronics America. “From The Wall, which creates an engaging experience for both the team and visitors, to high-performance monitors that support precise editing, Samsung display technology plays a starring role throughout the space — and will hopefully make a future cameo in an epic trick shot.”

    Throughout the headquarters — including the boardroom, meeting rooms, kitchen, and gym — Samsung 65-inch commercial displays and 98-inch business-grade digital signage keep the team informed and engaged. These displays are used to share schedules, preview content before it goes live and anchor shared experiences like gaming sessions, sports events and team watch parties. Additional displays installed throughout the building effortlessly transition into dynamic wayfinding tools, offering clear and helpful navigation as guests and team members explore DPHQ3.

    LG Electronics USA has launched a new 31.5-inch 4K surgical monitor (model 32HR734S) powered by Mini LED technology, delivering enhanced brightness, superior contrast, and ultra-precise color accuracy. With 1,500 local dimming zones and 98% DCI-P3 color gamut, the monitor is designed to provide surgeons with highly detailed and clear visuals, making it ideal for advanced procedures like laparoscopy and endoscopy. Its lightweight, durable, and splash-resistant design, along with features like Optical Bonding, Anti-Glare coating, and an IK06 rating, ensures reliability and readability in demanding surgical environments.

    The monitor also includes smart functionalities like Clone Screen, 4PBP, PIP, Mirror Mode, and Rotation Mode, improving multi-source display and flexibility in the OR. With 12G-SDI long-distance signal support and automatic input failover, it offers secure and uninterrupted imaging. This innovation ensures healthcare professionals have consistent, high-quality visuals to support critical decision-making and surgical precision.

    Medical imaging technology leader LG Electronics USA, is introducing a new 31.5-inch, 4K (3840 x 2160 resolution) surgical monitor with advanced Mini LED display technology. This monitor (model 32HR734S) features enhanced color reproduction and local dimming zones to produce clearer, detailed images and precise brightness control.

    Designed as an advanced color video display for various compatible medical imaging systems, the new surgical monitor enables precise brightness control. It also provides an ultra-wide color gamut, optimizing image clarity and color, making it an ideal choice for a variety of surgical applications, including laparoscopy and endoscopy. Its lightweight design (only 21.3 pounds) gives flexibility to the end-user for mounting on surgical arms and booms.

    The display’s Mini LED backlight technology utilizes thousands of tiny LED diodes and provides excellent color consistency across the screen, with 98 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color space. It has 1,500 local dimming zones, inherent to Mini LED technology, producing clear, detailed images and precise brightness control across the entire LED backlight. This enhances visual contrast by darkening the dark areas and brightening the light areas, significantly enhancing the dynamic contrast ratio up to 1,000,000:1 and reaching a peak brightness up to 2,000 cd/m2. The local dimming technique may also improve energy efficiency and screen life compared to traditional edge-lit backlight technologies.

    “Our Mini LED technology produces outstanding images for surgeons, with local dimming zones increasing the brightness and the contrast ratio, along with an enhanced color spectrum, allowing for deeper, truer anatomical colors,” said Stephen K. Hu, LG Electronics USA’s head of medical displays. “Having recently received 510(k) clearance, this device is now available for surgeons to experience an immersive environment to focus entirely on the surgical procedure and operate precisely.”

    The launch is also the first LG surgical monitor to incorporate the innovative Clone Screen feature. Clone Screen allows users to duplicate the image being displayed on the Mini LED on a second monitor (connected via HDMI), facilitating operational efficiency and communication within the surgical environment, especially in situations where multiple medical professionals need to view the same image.

    For added versatility, the monitor supports both 4PBP (Picture-by-Picture) and PIP (Picture-in-Picture), allowing it to display input from up to four different sources simultaneously or overlay one input on another. These features enable medical professionals to monitor various critical information streams concurrently on a single screen, enhancing operational efficiency and decision-making. For example, medical staff can view a combination of laparoscopic and endoscopic images while monitoring vital signs. Additionally, Mirror Mode makes it possible to flip the on-screen image horizontally, while Rotation Mode can rotate the image 180 degrees to match the orientation of the surgical camera, allowing users to adjust the display for optimal viewing.

    The monitor supports 12G-SDI, which enables long-distance transmission of 4K signals over a single coaxial cable, while the Failover Input Switch feature ensures uninterrupted video signal by automatically switching to an alternative video source if the primary input fails. This function is compatible across all interfaces, including HDMI, SDI, DVI, and DP, offering flexibility in setup and redundancy in signal sources. Particularly for 12G-SDI, the system can automatically switch from the primary input to the next available input if a signal loss is detected. This seamless transition between inputs minimizes disruptions and ensures consistent video output, essential for surgical applications where continuity of care and image clarity are critical.

    LG Electronics has been singled out as the only supplier of commercial displays recognized for environmental sustainability excellence in the foremost third-party assessment of suppliers to the U.S. hospitality industry, earning the MindClick Sustainability Assessment Program (MSAP) “Leader” rating for the 10th consecutive year.

    Announced during Earth Week 2025, LG hotel TVs, digital signage displays and computer monitors have earned the “Leader” rating for their hotel impact, guest health, end-of-use and responsible supply chain.* Overall, LG earned the Leader rating for hotel TVs, digital signage displays and monitors with sustainable content. According to MindClick, LG is “making big strides in sustainability – reducing carbon impact, increasing sustainable materials, and cutting down on packaging waste.”

    The MSAP is an annual manufacturer assessment evaluating the sustainability of product lifecycles, validated through MindClick’s rigorous audit process. Suppliers are rated in one of three levels: Starter, Achiever and Leader. Initially, only suppliers to Marriott International participated in the assessment; in recent years the program has expanded to include more suppliers, and their results are shared with additional brands, ownership groups and purchasing agents, such as Fairmont, Four Seasons, Hilton, Hyatt, Sonesta and others.

    Among other things, the program measures metrics such as carbon footprint, use of sustainable materials, recyclability, and avoidance of chemicals of high concern. Suppliers are rated in one of three levels: Starter, Achiever and Leader.
