PPDS has launched an enhanced range of Philips X-Line videowall displays.
The Philips X-Line series consists of six brand-new direct LED backlight models and size variants*, each featuring slick near bezel-less designs (0.9mm- 3.5mm) and equipped with a range of updated features and functionalities to support specific settings, including retail, corporate and control rooms.
Martijn van der Woude, Head of Global Business Development and Marketing at PPDS, said: “We are delighted to showcase the latest evolutions of our highly popular and successful Philips X-Line videowall range here at InfoComm 2022. Some manufacturers have decided to switch their attentions away from videowall technology but, rather than scale back, we are bringing even more choice, new dedicated features, and advanced capabilities to our partners and their customers, supporting their everyday business needs and helping them maximise their business vision. At PPDS we listen to our customers and deliver on their wants and needs and the Philips X-Line is the latest evolution of our journey in this burgeoning marketplace.”
The new Philips X-Line 49” BDL2105X/00 and 55” BDL2105X/00 are designed to deliver spectacular, highly immersive and captivating 24/7 visual experiences for commercial environments.
Featuring a near bezel-less (3.5mm) design with Full HD (1920x1080p) image quality, 500 cd/m² brightness, a finishing haze of just 3pc, and backed by PPDS’ exclusive Pure Colour Pro software. Higher higher luminance is delivered through custom colour temperature settings and advanced gamma calibration.
As with all models within the Philips X-Line range, installations are fast and effortless, with two or more Philips professional displays connected to create a tiled videowall – without the need for external devices. A single player takes care of content, whether for four screens or forty.
The latest line-up of Philips X-Line models also introduces three dedicated models for use within corporate environments, including meeting rooms, boardrooms, lobbies and public spaces. Replacing existing models within the Philips X-Line range, the new series includes the 55” BDL3207X/00 (3.5mm bezel), 55” BDL4107X/00 (1.78mm bezel) and the 55” BDL8007X/00 (0.99 mm bezel) variants.
Featuring a high impact Full HD display – mirroring that of the 2000 series – and with enhanced 700 cd/m² high brightness, Philips X-Line makes even the most challenging content, such as the small fonts used on detailed Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint presentations, perfectly readable on a grand scale, with no blur, or cloud impacting the viewing experience.
The BDL8007X/00 also features energy saving automatic backlight control, helping reduce running costs for a lower cost of ownership, while also aligning with sustainability goals.
Mitch Rosenberg, the new Director of LED and LCD Videowalls at PPDS said: “The quality of the display, whether a single screen or a large scale videowall installation, can make or break a meeting. If content is not delivered and presented clearly and accurately to the room, sitting up close or at the back, then the technology and the investment has immediately failed. With Philips X-Line, businesses have the comfort in knowing that content, be it static or something more spectacular, will always be displayed with the quality and clarity intended.”
PPDS has also introduced a brand-new Philips X-Line 65” model variant.
Featuring a higher performance 4K display (3840 x 2160), the new BDL6005X/00 model is designed for 24/7 operation and can be fully customised to fit customers’ exact needs and requirements. Crucial to these markets, the 65” X-Line can show content from multiple sources in real-time, with enhanced, Ultra High-Definition picture quality.
Mirroring Philips X-Line models within the corporate-focused series, the 65” model is fully calibrated to embrace white backgrounds. Combined with stunning 4K resolution and 500 cd/m² brightness, this allows content – including small lettering and numbers – to appear crisply and more radiant for stunning realism.
The Philips X-Line’s 3.5mm ultra-narrow bezel ensures near seamless connectivity between panels, with all space maximised to create a single screen effect, regardless of panel numbers and size.
