Product Features
Advatek™ sells well-engineered commercial-grade pixel controller hardware. The practical drawbacks for US-based DIY and prosumer customers come down to two things: Advatek™ is located in Australia, so support response times are slower (different time zones, sometimes overnight delays for email replies), and repairs when needed add time and cost.
HolidayCoro ships from our Texas warehouse with same / next business day fulfillment, US-based phone and email support during business hours and pricing at a fraction of that for Advatek hardware.
