Expanding its award-winning commercial LG OLED family and LED Digital Signage lineup, LG boasts an expansive digital signage portfolio, which also features the unique 86-inch LG “Ultra Stretch” display, 4K Ultra HD monitors, outdoor signage systems and advanced video wall displays.

Innovative Commercial LG OLED Solutions 
LG Electronics expanded the award-winning commercial OLED lineup with a number of new, innovative displays for high-end installations including the LG OLED Wallpaper, LG OLED Video Wall, “In-Glass Wallpaper” LG OLED display and Open Frame LG OLED display. (See separate news release.) The proprietary LG OLED technology delivers awe-inspiring picture with perfect blacks and incredible color, even from wide viewing angles, unlike any LCD/LED display can deliver. 

The new LG OLED displays join the highly acclaimed Dual-View Curved Tiling and Dual-View Flat LG OLED displays, available now. 

LED Digital Signage 
Exhibiting its strong commitment to the giant-screen video market, LG announced a host of new Indoor LED display solutions, including 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0mm pixel pitch displays. The new displays developed by LG Electronics boast outstanding color contrast, saturation and brightness levels. The addition of these display solutions bolsters LG’s LED display portfolio, which now includes both indoor and outdoor options for a variety of installations, including retail spaces, sports stadiums, transportation hubs and hospitality applications. The 1.0 and 1.5mm pixel pitch displays are available now, and the 2.0mm pixel pitch display will be available later this year. 

Durable Outdoor Solutions 
For customers looking for a high-performance LED-backlit LCD flat-panel display that can withstand nature’s elements, LG launched the 75-inch class XE3C Outdoor Display, which joins the company’s popular 55-inch class model. The XE3C series features technologies that make it a well-suited solution for delivering messages in outdoor spaces. LG’s unique display technology provides a temperature tolerance that helps alleviate a common problem of screens overheating, affecting picture quality. The XE3C series also features enhanced thermal management with an environmentally sealed structure for waterproofing and protecting the display from dust and fumes. The display can also prevent overheating without the use of an air filter and boasts a protective 7.5mm glass panel so the display outlasts accidental impacts in any outdoor environment.

Ultra-Bright Window-Facing Solutions
LG’s portfolio also includes a high-bright Outdoor Window-Facing Display, the XS series, which is perfectly suited for installation inside the windows of retail shops in streets. The XS series features (IPS) panel technology to ensure accurate color saturation and contrast at wide-viewing angles, even under high heat and brightness. 

The XS series also features enhanced brightness – up to 2,500 cd/m2, an ultra-thin depth of 84mm and support for LG’s WebOS platform making the XS series the ultimate screen for outdoor visibility. The display is the perfect choice for any in-window display due to its quiet operation - the display does not have a cooling fan, allowing it to operate under 25dB, which is quieter than a library. 

Advanced Video Wall Displays 
LG announced a new 49-inch video wall display, model 49VM5C, which complements the acclaimed 55-inch 55VH7B display in redefining the video wall category. The new display boasts a narrow bezel width of 0.9mm, allowing the displays to be connected seamlessly with each other to create a powerful and impactful image for an immersive experience that’s certain to capture any viewer’s attention. 

The LG 49VM5C and 55VH7B video wall displays are selected for even the most demanding installations for their IPS panel technology, which ensures accurate color saturation, even from wide viewing angles, resulting in unparalleled picture quality. Featuring a high-performance SOC, which works with LG’s WebOS for Signage. Each model is designed to be lightweight, which, combined with a slim depth, allows for easier product installation and maintenance.

4K Ultra HD Signage Displays 
Exemplifying leadership in 4K Ultra HD display technology, LG offers the broadest 4K UHD portfolio in the market, featuring two families of products with models ranging from 49- to 98-inches. LG announced the new 98-inch 98LS95D display, which delivers an immersive 4K viewing experience with four times the resolution as comparable full HD displays. This display solution not only had the capability to display 4K native content and upscale content, but it can also divide the screen’s content layout up to four different images on one screen – a feature customers are familiar with from LG’s 75- and 86-inch models. Additionally, LG’s 4K Ultra HD displays also support LG’s WebOS.

Featuring unique solutions, LG 4K UHD portfolio boasts a sleek 86-inch Ultra Stretch Signage display (86BH5C), perfectly suited for a wide array of installations. This digital signage display measures just over seven feet long, features an amazing 58:9 bar-type display and LG’s Picture-by-Picture (PBP) technology, which allows the user to divide the long, rectangular signage into four seamless screens in landscape or portrait installations. 

LG’s 4K UHD portfolio offers a wide array of high-end display solutions perfect for any installation, including offices, hotels, airports, museums, retail spaces and more.
