Planar Systems Inc., Portland, Oregon display and digital signage technology company, has introduced Planar UltraRes 98” Touch LCD display, believed to be the industry’s largest 4K touch display.
The Planar UltraRes 98” Touch combines a multi-touch, multi-user experience with native Ultra HD resolution, making it possible to interact across a large screen area with crystal-clear detail and precision. With 32 simultaneous touch points, the display is designed for a wide variety of resolution-rich, collaborative applications including meeting rooms, training facilities and command and control centers. It is also ideal for eye-catching interactive digital signage that engages viewers and is rugged for public space reliability.
“Planar has been first to market with a variety of new 4K display solutions, and the Planar UltraRes 98” Touch represents another industry milestone,” says Becky Connors, product marketing manager, Planar Systems. “With its multi-touch support, enhanced durability and sleek design, the display sets the bar for interactive commercial experiences, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to offering the best in 4K technology.”
Benefits include:
- The 98” diagonal is without seams, offering the largest touch surface area without bezel disruption;
- With a native 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160, the Planar UltraRes 98” Touch brings the highest level of clarity in text and fine detail for touch users viewing at close distances;
- Planar’s ERO (Extended Ruggedness and Optics) optical bonding technology offers added protection for safeguarding the Planar UltraRes 98” Touch in high-traffic and long-term use applications. The bonded glass screen also improves optical performance and touch accuracy by eliminating the air gap between the protective glass and LCD screen;
- Using the Planar Profile Mounting System, it installs just 4” from the wall, making it compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The Planar UltraRes 98” Touch uses the latest-generation LED backlight technology and passive cooling to achieve maximum energy efficiency. It consumes less than 0.5 watt of energy in standby mode, and incorporates a fanless, whisper-quiet design free from disruptive background noise.
The Planar UltraRes 98” Touch will be available starting in December 2014 through Planar’s global network of authorized resellers.
