Dynascan Technology Introduces Two New 55-Inche Ultra-High Bright Narrow Bezel Professional LCDs
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Email: scottp@dynascanusa.com
DynaScan introduced this week new 2,500 nit and 5,000 nit high brightness narrow bezel professional LCDs. The displays feature 55-inch screens with IPS technology and an 11.5 mm bezel.Irvine (Jan 10, 2012) – DynaScan Technology, a leader in manufacturing unique digital signage solutions, has introduced two new 55-inch high bright and ultra-high bright narrow bezel professional LCDs, the DS55LT4 and DS55LT6. The DS55LT4 features a brightness rating of 2,500 cd/m², while the DS55LT6 sports a maximum brightness of 5,000 cd/m². Both screens feature a direct LED local dimming back light, and an 11.5 mm bezel, making them ideal for video wall applications in bright environments.
DynaScan has applied its expertise in LED optics to achieve daylight viewable images up to 5,000 nits, making them easy to view even in direct sunlight applications such as storefront windows or outdoor enclosures. The displays feature a local dimming LED back light technique for a remarkably high contrast picture as high as 1,000,000:1 (dynamic). With direct local dimming, darker areas of an image receive less backlighting than lighter areas, as opposed to CCFL and edge-lit LED backlights which illuminate an entire screen at all times causing blacks and dark areas to appear washed out.
The DS55LT4 and DS55LT6 feature a narrow 11.5 mm bezel for tiled video wall applications. With built-in video daisy chaining, a single 1080p source can be used on video walls up to 6x6 in size without the need for any additional external video wall controller.
To increase performance and prolong the lifespan of the display, the DS55LT4 utilizes a fanless thermal management system. Heat generated by the display is radiated away from high temperature areas while a sensor continuously monitors the internal temperature to protect the system from overheating. All of this is done without the use of any fans, resulting in silent operation and greatly reducing the potential of mechanical failure. This is especially beneficial in areas with a lot of dust which can eventually obstruct a vent and cause the display to overheat.
DynaScan’s DS² line of LCDs was introduced last year offering a full range of narrow bezel, and sunlight readable high brightness digital signage display solutions.
Availability
The DynaScan DS55LT4 and DS55LT6 professional LCDs are available for order through authorized DynaScan dealers or by visiting DynaScan’s website http://www.dynascanusa.com.

PRI Research Article Reveals Results of Digital Place-Based Advertising Study
CHICAGO - Platt Retail Institute (PRI) today released its Research Article, "Agency and Brand Attitudes and Perspectives Regarding Digital Place-Based Advertising," which is sponsored by Intel, Digital Signage Expo, and the Digital Place-Based Advertising Association.
"Our primary research objective was to gain insights into agencies' opinions regarding adoption of digital place-based advertising," said Steven Keith Platt, PRI Director and Research Fellow. "We looked at attitudes and perspectives of both agencies and their clients, specifically focusing on the decision-making factors that influence whether DPA will be incorporated into a marketing campaign."
Some key findings include:
- Forty percent of agencies reported that their clients are either using or are inclined to use DPA. Another 40 percent stated that their clients' usage of the medium is directly related to the clients' knowledge of the industry.
- Thirty-eight percent of responses stated that the most important requirement to establish the industry was metrics. In addition, 35 percent believe that reliable metrics are essential to increasing brand adoption.
- Standards were the second most important requirement noted to establish the industry.
- Thirty-seven percent of responses suggested that case studies were the most important method to educate brands about the medium.

OpenServices Changes the Way Retailers Think About Digital and How Digital Influences the Way Retailers Market to Consumers
With eCommerce taking a bigger slice of the retail pie than ever before what can brick-and-mortar operations do to keep customers stepping through their doors and coming back for more?

It may sound like a tall order, and one that seems inaccessible to those with limited time and budget, but a new offering from OpenServices ensures that every retailer can take advantage of this move towards online retail by encouraging customers to take the retail experience with them when they leave the store.
Experience the best of online even when you’re offline with OpenServices out of the box digital signage solution.

Utilizing established standard retail fixtures, as well as offering the option of incorporating existing screen hardware; OpenService retail screens are tough enough for retail conditions.

It’s not only retailers who can benefit from OpenServices’ screen solutions, with digital signage also well suited for use in restaurants, bars and cafés. Update menus on the fly, modify specials to suit the time of day, integrated mobile communications mean customers can order ahead to avoid the queue and receive an SMS notification when their order is ready to be picked up, or order directly from their table via a wall-mounted tablet or their phone.
