Slovakia - Slovensko h?adá Superstar is a casting television show based on the popular British show Pop Idol. Broadcast twice a week from October to December by TV station Markíza, this wildly popular series to find the best young singer in the land was the highest rated TV show ever in Slovakia.

Adam Pastorek, president of Martin distributor Adam A Syn s.r.o., together with director Peter Nunez, set designer Marek Holly and chief cameraman Vlado Valko, decided on a modern set design featuring the Martin LC Series LED video screens.

Dominating the set design upstage centre was a large LED video wall consisting of 28 LC 2140 panels vertically divided so they could open for competitors to enter the stage. It was the LC Series' versatility and light weight that allowed for this entrance "gate" to be realized. Stage right and left were more LC Series panels assembled as large cylindrical displays. The colossal impression of the stage was underlined by video projection and 25 plasma screens.
