Digital Signage Displays Crisp, Sharp Images
Many retailers and small businesses are investing in digital signs to capture customers’ attention. One widely used display product line comes from Samsung — the 400FP-2 40-inch professional LCD.
With 1920x1080 resolution, the 400FP-2 yields high-quality, high-definition images. It features a 4000:1 static contrast ratio and 40,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, providing crisp, full-motion images. Designed specifically for commercial applications including digital signs, the display supports a wide variety of connections, including VGA, DVI and HDMI.
While digital signs typically display marketing or other messages delivered from a media server, the 400FP-2 can also function in TV mode, using an optional TV tuner. Some small businesses with multiple screens in their facilities will, on occasion, show TV programming, so having a TV tuner is a real plus.
