Planar and Leyard are targeting the digital signage industry with the Planar QE Series of Ultra HD LCD displays.
Units are available in 75-in, 86-in and 98-in sizes and incorporate embedded media players and software. Multi-touch models are also available.
The displays offer 4K video performance with support for native 4K at up to 60Hz, with HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2. The displays allow for four sources to be simultaneously viewed in quadrants and are suited to collaboration or huddle environments in conference rooms as well as digital signage. The displays can be oriented in either landscape or portrait and come with a logo-free, all-metal bezel design.
Audio is built into each display with two internal 10-watt speakers. The displays are compatible with a number of Ultra HD inputs, including emerging 4K sources requiring compliance with the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) standard.
The displays come with an embedded Planar ContentSmart 4K media player and will start shipping in the first quarter of 2017.
