| Planar Announces New 57-inch Direct-View LCD Display Planar Systems has announced the availability of the m57L, a large-format direct-view LCD display. The m57L extends Planar's line of commercial-grade LCD displays, which includes the 40-inch Bobcat X and the 46-inch Bay Cat X. Its large screen area, high resolution and professional features are suited to Planar's system integration partners and the demanding applications they implement for customers. Incorporating the latest generation LCD panel, the 57-inch m57L is a direct-view professional-grade display, engineered for commercial applications that demand the highest levels of performance and reliability such as control rooms, public information display and corporate boardrooms. While similar to commercial 60-inch plasma monitors in diagonal size and form factor, the m57L also delivers ultra-high resolution (1920 x 1080) and incorporates other features, such as resistance to image quality degradation, higher brightness and broad source compatibility, which add to its advantages over plasma displays that serve these custom markets. The combination of high-performing components and a rugged enclosure help make the m57L LCD display more resistant to Temporary Image Retention issues or other long-term image degradation effects found in comparable displays in the marketplace. The panel is also designed to perform equally well in either landscape or portrait orientations. Planar's m57L meets the specific needs of many broadcast applications with features such as a Serial Digital Input (SDI) that is capable of accepting standard definition and high-definition SDI resolutions. The 1080p native resolution enables the multiple window display to create an active image area approximately equal to seventeen 14-inch CRT monitors, a common configuration in broadcast control rooms. The broadcast-friendly m57L is also preconfigured with presets for common color temperatures. With its large screen size, high resolution and multi-source compatibility, the m57L is also suitably positioned for boardrooms and other corporate presentation environments as well as digital signage applications. Overall, these displays are designed and engineered for more demanding use applications, typical of commercial environments. Additional m57L Key Features: - Latest generation electronics for improved sharpness scaling and 10 bit gamma processing; - Superior ability to automatically synch with a variety of input signals; - Built-in real time clock allows users to schedule events such as power on/power off, source switching; - Built-in tiling (Planar's Big Picture), mullion compensation and digital loop through for applications requiring multiple, tiled displays; - VESA standard mounting points for use with any conforming stand or mount. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
