DynaScan has introduced a new Full HD model for their semi-outdoor series. The DS551DR4 is a dual-sided professional ultra-high brightness LCD display. This combination unit features 55” portrait-oriented back-to-back display surfaces in a single, ultra-slim form factor. With a sunlight viewable 3000 nit side and a 1000 nit brightness side on the reverse, the DS551DR4 is an ideal solution for in-window display applications. The unit includes an all-metal, 1-meter base stand to provide a custom-fit mounting solution. The DS551DR4 includes two integrated Android™-based media players for simultaneous playback of independent or duplicate video content and dual HDMI inputs.

DynaScan’s DS2 line of LCDs utilize a proprietary system of LED backlighting which can easily be viewed in direct sunlight such as storefront windows or outdoor enclosures. These IPS panels feature direct local dimming LED backlighting which makes darker areas of an image receive less backlighting than lighter areas in order to provide a picture with greater contrast.

Because the DS551DR4 is designed for direct sunlight applications, it is equipped with a high temperature LCD panel capable of withstanding temperatures up to 110˚C (230˚F) without blackening, which happens to regular displays when the LCD panel overheats.

Every display is factory-calibrated for color, contrast and picture quality. The factory color calibration is done to the D65 (6500K) CIE color standard to produce a true natural white as well as for uniformity. The DS551DR4 also has an onboard light sensor that measures the level of ambient light and automatically adjusts the image accordingly.

PMA Research, a leading market analyst firm for the large-format display industry, reports that unit sales of professional displays with brightness ratings of 1000 nits and up have nearly tripled year-over-year in March 2018.
