What customers say
Customers in the professional AV and staging sectors generally view the NovaStar TB60 as a robust and essential piece of hardware for driving high-resolution LED displays. The sentiment is overwhelmingly positive regarding its core performance, particularly its stability during long events and its seamless integration within the established NovaStar control ecosystem. Users frequently praise the unit's powerful processing capabilities, which handle complex video mapping and synchronization across large or irregularly shaped screens without noticeable latency or frame drops. This reliability is crucial for live events and installations, justifying the professional price point for many users. However, the learning curve for initial setup and advanced configuration, particularly for those new to the NovaStar platform, is a recurring point of friction. While the hardware is excellent, the accompanying software interface (NovaLCT) can sometimes be perceived as overly technical or less intuitive than competing solutions, requiring specialized knowledge. Furthermore, while the build quality is high, some users express minor frustration with the frequency or complexity of firmware updates required to maintain optimal performance and compatibility with the latest LED modules. Despite these minor technical hurdles related to software complexity, the TB60 is considered a top-tier, reliable workhorse, highly recommended by experienced technicians who prioritize stability and performance above all else in mission-critical environments.
