Posted on Wednesday, February 27, 2013
2013 digital signage solutions feature LG’s advanced IPS technology, industry’s first 84-inch class Ultra HD commercial display

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 27, 2013 – Today LG Electronics USA unveiled its broad 2013 line of digital signage products at Digital Signage Expo 2013 (booth 500), led by the industry’s first 84-inch class “Ultra High-Definition” 4K digital signage display*. Visitors to the LG booth will be have the opportunity to interact with LG’s business-to-business (B2B) solutions for multi-touch displays, transparent displays, outdoor signage and new commercial applications for airports and retail settings.

“From stunning Ultra HD solutions for retail to ‘shine out’ technology for outdoor displays, LG continues to advance the digital signage sector,” said Y.K. Cho, B2B senior vice president, LG Electronics USA. “The outstanding product line-up showcased at DSE demonstrates LG’s superior display technology and solutions for a wide-range of real world commercial applications.”   

LG’s flagship digital signage monitor for 2013 is its 84-inch class (84.0 inch diagonal) Ultra HD Signage Display. Boasting pixel resolution of 3840 x 2160, four times higher than Full HD displays, it offers the sharpest picture available on a large-screen display. The massive display is already attracting attention in the first-ever installation of 4K digital signage at Las Vegas’ McCarran International Airport. 

Integrated into all LED models, including the 84-inch class Ultra HD screen, is LG’s In Plane Switching (IPS) panel technology that helps ensure accurate color saturation and contrast at wide-angle viewing (both horizontal and vertical), resulting in a display with great picture quality that can be installed at virtually any angle or height. LG’s unique display technology also provides a temperature tolerance of up to 230 degrees Fahrenheit (110 degrees Celsius), which helps alleviate a common problem of screens overheating, affecting picture quality. 

“As the use of digital signage continues to expand, the importance of image quality and color accuracy is increasing as well,” said Dan Smith, director of Digital Signage, LG Electronics USA. “LG’s IPS LED displays allow for faithful product representation across the digital signage medium – raising the standard for digital signage.”

LG solutions demonstrated at Digital Signage Expo 2013 include the world’s first Ultra HD digital signage, stunning outdoor displays, versatile ultra-wide signage, expansive video walls, high-end pro-grade digital signage and LG EcoSmart™ features.

World’s First Ultra HD Signage

The all-new Ultra HD commercial widescreen LED screen (model 84WS70MS-B) provides immersive wide viewing with a high quality and vivid picture featuring Ultra HD technology, quadrupling FULL HD resolution to 8 million pixels. The Ultra HD 2160p display has a bezel width of just 27.9mm at its thinnest point. The 84-inch class Ultra HD display may be mounted in portrait or landscape mode and also features a multi-touch option perfect for commercial applications. 

Stunning Outdoor Displays

The 47-inch class (47.0 inches measured diagonally) LG 47WX50MF Outdoor Display features technologies that make it a well-suited solution for delivering messages in outdoor spaces. In addition to LG’s IPS panel technology, the 47WX50MF features LG’s Shine Out™ technology, which is designed to deflect ambient light, helping to avoid color wash out or lackluster images. Shine Out and the display’s brightness level of 2,000 nits combine to produce content that looks great even in environments with abundant natural light.

Versatile Ultra Wide Signage

LG will also showcase a number of real-life scenarios in which the 21:9 aspect ratio of its ultra wide signage (model 29WR30) can be used to produce a stunning effect. Whether used to display news and advertising, or as a virtual banner, providing up-to-the-minute information at bus stops, movie theaters or restaurants, this new product provides value in a broad range of public settings.
