The Fintic LED ticker is best described with two words… ambient information. Things you’d like to know that become a part of your immediate surroundings.
Imagine never needing to dig out your phone/tablet/pc/remote to keeps tabs on the vital info in your life. That’s exactly what the Fintic accomplishes through the use of a side-scrolling display just like you’d see in Times Square.
It’s like having wall street in your living room
If you’re invested in the markets, keeping on eye on your stock prices quickly becomes routine. The ticker can display real time prices of all U.S. equities and ETFs, meaning your investments are never more than a glance away.
To access the device’s control panel, you simply connect the Fintic to your home wifi and open its hostname in your browser. Then you can enter which stocky symbols to show along with optional logos and scroll speed.
The display can also switch to a “Professional Display” style, where the ticker is split into two rows, with each row displaying different kinds of information simultaneously. Both rows can also move at different speeds.
Weather, news, sports and more
