LG Electronics showed at ISE the first "Ultra High-Definition" 4K digital signage display (the commercial version of the LG 84-inch class (84.04 inch diagonal) Ultra HD TV*) and now you’ll see again if you are on your way to DSE 2013 in Las Vegas via airplane.
Two LG 84”displays with 4K content featured in a wayfinder kiosk in McCarran Airport's D Concourse, where 32,000 passengers pass by on a daily basis.
The LG 84” class Ultra HD Signage Display is the flagship of LG's 2013 line of LED large-screen monitors that will be demonstrated at the Digital Signage Expo 2013. Boasting 4X the screen resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) of traditional HD displays, the display is already attracting attention in the first-ever installation of 4K digital signage at Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport.
Featuring Ultra HD technology with 8 million pixels, the Ultra HD 2160p display (model 84WS70MS-B) has a bezel width of just 27.9mm, allowing displays to be arranged side-by-side. The 84” class Ultra HD display may be mounted in portrait or landscape mode for optimal use in commercial applications.
Because they have 45 gates and a lot of passengers transiting through, McCarran airport officials opted to add the Ultra HD displays to provide a very clear and unmistakable signage solution in addition to static overhead signs already in place. The displays are encased in an 11-foot tall kiosk, with the monitor at the top of the kiosk running a wayfinder application by Denver-based Four Winds Interactive.
Where else but an airport would LG’s LED panel technology In Plane Switching (IPS) be at home?
IPS panel technology helps provide color saturation and contrast for off-angle viewing (both horizontal and vertical), so the display can be installed at almost any angle or height. IPS technology also provides a temperature tolerance of up to 230 degrees Fahrenheit (110 degrees Celsius) which helps alleviate a common problem with screens overheating.
