Planar Systems has announced a new series of large format LCD displays exclusively designed to deliver commercial performance and affordability for digital signage applications.
Planar’s new PS-Series includes six models ranging from 42 to 65 inches and starting at an MSRP of $849. The line also includes models with LED backlighting and dual touch technology.
Engineered from the ground up for commercial use, Planar PS-Series displays are loaded with features required by professional applications, including sturdy, full-metal casing and professionally reliable panels optimized for all-day operation. These full HD displays deliver a variety of advanced features including multiple connectivity options, video wall support, RS-232 control, and ambient backlight control.
“As a leader in display technology, digital signage integrators and end-users expect an affordable, commercial-grade digital signage display from Planar and the PS-Series delivers,” said Becky Connors, product marketing manager at Planar Systems. “Many of the current entry-level digital signage displays on the market are re-engineered televisions that lack the features required for long-life performance. The Planar PS-Series is the only family of displays in this price range built commercial-grade and backed by an industry-leading warranty.”
The Planar CustomerFirst warranty covers all shipping expenses, including expedited delivery of the replacement unit shipped in advance.
