Samsung goes big in '08 with bright ad displays

In the advertising field, Samsung today introduced the SyncMaster 700DXn, a 70" Digital information Display (DID) designed for continuous use as an advertising medium.

For such taxing use, displays need to maintain a lower temperature to ultimately extend the life of the product even after running against high ambient light conditions for over 20 hours a day.

It features a 5000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 1920x1080 full HD resolution, and the capacity for ultra-high brightness at 178/178 viewing angle. Retail price for this display will be $29,989.99.

Also, Samsung will be showing off the 570DXN motion-sensitive 57" LCD monitor at CES this week. The unit was developed by Reactrix, the company responsible for bringing creating interactive "surface" displays which project touchscreen-style results when the projected image is interacted with. The S70DXN is expected to be released in 2008 for commercial advertising applications.
