Vertical TV Display Advertising
The Memorial Union has 2 standing displays on either side of the MU Lounge. These are referred to as Vertical TV Displays, to distinguish them from the Horizontal TV Displays hung up around the building.
Vertical TV Display Advertising Specs
- Slides must be sized at 1080x1920 pixels in a portrait orientation.

Vertical Aspect Ratio
The portrait orientation will require a redesign of your horizontally-oriented event graphics.
However, if you have 11x17 posters already made, we can fit this format into the 1080x1920 vertical space with minimal black bars on top and bottom of the 11x17.
Please note: we will not accept standard horizontal graphics to fit onto the vertical screens.
