A landmark LED installation in the heart of New York City
In 2020, digiLED delivered 2,992 square feet of LED screens for the stunning new Moynihan Train Hall in New York City.
The Train Hall forms part of the major redevelopment of the historic James A. Farley Post Office building, expanding the capacity of Penn Station in Manhattan. It serves both the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and Amtrak, the intercity rail service connecting major cities including Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Wilmington and New York City.
The main train hall is now dominated by four giant 3.9mm digiTILE MAX LED screens, with a further eight 1.5mm digiTHIN HD LED screens positioned prominently throughout the station.

Overcoming natural light with high-brightness LED screens
Natural light pours into the hall through a massive 92-foot-high skylight ceiling, which also features art installations from some of the world’s most celebrated artists.
The abundance of daylight presented a unique technical challenge. digiLED carefully analysed the position of the sun throughout the day to determine how light would fall across the LED screens at different times.
To maintain optimal visibility and overcome glare, digiLED outdoor louvres were installed to provide shading for the four main digiTILE MAX LED screens overlooking the hall.

An innovative LED solution for a common rail industry problem
A widespread industry problem was also addressed at Moynihan: the attraction of magnetic dust to LED screen surfaces in rail locations.
Historically, as can be seen in many transport hubs around the world, ferrous material from trains is attracted to the magnets of an LED screen, leaving dark blotches across the screen surface.
In what is believed to be a world first, digiLED created an innovative magnetic blocking design for the Moynihan project, resulting in a screen surface that experienced no magnetic fields. Without the presence of magnets, no ferrous dust was collected on the screen surface.
Speak to an ExpertTechnical expertise behind the Moynihan Train Hall LED screens
With international travel restrictions in place throughout 2020, digiLED’s technical team was unable to travel to New York, requiring an alternative approach to onsite support.
Using a combination of video calls and remote communication, digiLED worked closely with the onsite team throughout the installation. Tom Mudd, digiLED’s Head of Technical, provided remote assistance with programming and commissioning to help successfully finalise the project.
Following years of continuous operation, the image on the Moynihan screens remains clear, bright and free from the blotches seen on so many other LED displays.
“Being part of this project places digiLED at the heart of one of New York City’s most iconic transportation hubs. Our technology is now a key part of the daily experience for millions of travellers across the Northeast of America.”
