PPDS, the exclusive global provider of Philips professional displays and solutions, has announced the highly anticipated launch of its new, slimline Philips High Bright 4000 Series, delivering uncompromised picture clarity and performance to any indoor or semi-outdoor environment, including in challenging, highly lit areas.

From retail stores to public venues, the new portrait and landscape mountable High Bright 4000 Series is perfect for installations in or near environments exposed to ever-changing ambient lighting conditions, including direct sunlight, or being near or behind glass frontage.

Complementing and extending the Philips High Bright H-Line range to five, the new 4000 Series is available in 55” (55BDL4002H/00) and UHD 75” (75BDL4003H/00) model variants, featuring an all-new super slim design, up to 34mm thinner than previous H-Line models, while the 17.5mm (55”) and 18.8mm (75”) bezel ensures a slick and stylish presentation and viewing experience.

PPDS global product manager – total solutions, Andrea Barbuti, says: “Sunlight is one of the biggest natural challenges for digital signage and, as businesses look to extend and drive their communications, whether in a retail shop window, or delivering the latest travel information in an airport, it’s essential they are able to deliver their messaging in the clearest and most effective way. For many displays on the market, those ambitions cannot be achieved to the desired standard at all times, compromising the overall experience. With the High Bright 4000 Series from PPDS, these obstacles are overcome.”

The new series can be powered by Android SoC via the optional CRD50 module, delivering the benefits and familiarity of a powerful machine.

Evolved and influenced using extensive feedback from existing customers and the company’s valued Global Partner Alliance members around the world, the 4000 Series is shipped with extensive out-of-the box features and functionalities for seamless set up and running.

As part of this important upgrade, these new displays are fitted with two additional intelligent thermal management sensors integrated into the narrow bezel frame, allowing each display’s temperatures to be intelligently regulated and monitored at all times, maintaining ideal operating conditions and performance.

With embedded light sensors, brightness levels will automatically adjust to the changing conditions of the day for consistent viewing experiences, while helping to reduce running costs and extend product lifetime for enhanced RoI and reduced WEEE disposal.

The series is compatible with PPDS Wave – when used together with the optional CRD50 module, customers can experience the full potential of their Philips High Bright displays, with effortless management, monitoring, plus advanced scheduling and content creation, all via an intuitive, easy-to-use interface.

The displays also feature PPDS’ market leading FailOver technology, ensuring Philips professional displays will never be blank, automatically switching between primary and secondary inputs to ensure content keeps playing even if the primary source goes down.

By combining the Philips brand promise with TPV’s manufacturing expertise in displays, PPDS employs a competitive and focused approach to bring innovative products to market – from its 10” touchscreen through to unlimited direct view LED displays.
