PROXY STATEMENT
for
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
to be held on August 20, 1999
__________________________________________________
Information Concerning the Solicitation
This Proxy Statement, which is first being mailed to shareholders on or
about July 19, 1999, is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the
Board of Directors of Video Display Corporation (the "Company"), of proxies to
be voted at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on August 20, 1999, at
the place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual
Meeting of Shareholders, and at any reconvened meeting following any adjournment
thereof (the "Meeting"). The Company's 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders,
including financial statements for the year ended February 28, 1999, accompanies
this Proxy Statement.
The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of the
Company (the "Board"). The proxy is revocable at any time before it is
exercised. A proxy may be revoked by filing a revoking instrument or a duly
executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Company or by
attending the Meeting and voting in person. The shares represented by proxies
received by the Board will be voted at the Meeting.
Each shareholder is entitled to one vote on each proposal per share of
Common Stock held as of the record date. In determining whether a quorum exists
at the Meeting for purposes of all matters to be voted on, all votes "for" or
"against," as well as all abstentions (including votes to withhold authority to
vote in certain cases), with respect to the proposal receiving the most such
votes, will be counted. The vote required for the election of directors is a
plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election,
provided a quorum is present. Consequently, abstentions and broker non-votes
will not be counted as part of the base number of votes to be used in
determining if the proposal for the election of directors has received the
requisite number of base votes for approval. Thus, with respect to the proposal
for the election of directors, an abstention or broker non-vote will have no
effect.
The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. In addition to
solicitation by mail, certain officers, directors and employees may, without
compensation, solicit proxies by telephone, telegraph and personal interview.
The Company may reimburse brokerage firms and others for expenses incurred in
forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the Company's
Common Stock.
Shareholders' Proposals for Next Annual Meeting
Shareholder proposals intended to be presented in the proxy materials
relating to the 2000 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must be received by the
Company on or before March 15, 2000.

<PAGE>
Outstanding Voting Securities
The Company has one class of Common Stock, no par value ("Common Stock"),
of which 3,920,027 shares were issued and outstanding on June 19, 1999. Each
outstanding share is entitled to one vote. The Company also has a class of
preferred stock authorized, no shares of which are issued and outstanding at the
present time. Only holders of Common Stock of record at the close of business on
July 9, 1999, are entitled to vote at the meeting.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Five directors will be elected at the Meeting, each to serve until the next
Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until a successor has been duly elected and
qualified. The persons named in the accompanying Proxy intend to vote the
proxies, if authorized, for the election as directors of the five (5) persons
named below as nominees.
If, prior to the Meeting, the Board should learn that any nominee will be
unable to serve by reason of death, incapacity or other unexpected occurrence,
the proxies that would have otherwise been voted for such nominee will be voted
for such substitute nominee as selected by the Board. Alternatively, the
proxies may, at the Board's discretion, be voted for such fewer number of
nominees as results from such death, incapacity or other unexpected occurrence.
The Board has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to
serve.
All of the nominees except Mr. Moyer are currently directors of the
Company. Information about the Company's directors, including their principal
occupation for the past five years, is set forth below:

COMPENSATION PURSUANT TO PLANS
In 1992, the Company adopted a 401(k) Retirement Plan that covers
substantially all employees. Employee contributions are limited to 15% of each
employee's compensation, and the Company may match 50% of up to the first 8% of
gross compensation contributed by the employee. The Compensation Committee has
recommended that the Company elect to match 50% of the first 4% of gross
compensation contributed by each employee for the year ended February 28, 1999.
The Company has established a stock option plan as a performance incentive
program. The options may be granted to key employees at a price not less than
fair market value at the time the options are granted and are exercisable
beginning on the first anniversary of the grant for a period not to exceed ten
years from date of grant.
SECTION 16(a) REPORTING
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of the

"SEC") initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of
Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Directors, executive
officers and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC
regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they
file. To the Company's knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such
reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other
reports were required, during the two-year period ended February 28, 1999, all
Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to directors, executive officers
and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with.
