Each screen will feature 6mm LED screen quality and will be synchronised to play media content at the same playout time to ensure there is no visual lagging.
The screens can be treated as both, a synchronised showcase or as individual displays.
Heathrow airport’s retail director Jonathan Coen said: "As Britain’s hub airport, connecting more than 70 million passengers across the globe every year, it’s no surprise that the world’s premier brands have recognised the power of advertising at Heathrow. We are delighted to welcome Microsoft to Terminal 5’s newest installation."
Microsoft will also utilise the screens to showcase the impact of Microsoft Cloud and will promote it as the cloud that is capable of making AccuWeather respond to around ten billion requests for important weather data every day.
