14 DAY TRIAL // Since the performance of LCDs is, more or less, satisfactory, for now at least, makers of displays are looking for ways of making them thinner and larger, and Samsung seems to have just stirred a whole new set of ripples with the 55-inch Digital Information Display panel.
As one may very well know, liquid crystal displays are one of, if not the most popular form of video output on today's market, both on the consumer as well as the business/enterprise/industrial markets.
When it comes to consumer-oriented displays, like monitors and TVs, one needs not even search long before stumbling upon a myriad of possible purchases, each with their own design or performance advantages.
This once, however, Samsung focused on something more unusual and came up with what can be seen as a large panel that sets a new record in terms of bezel thickness, or thinness in this case.
To be more precise, the company created a 55-inch LCD Display whose top and left edges are 3.8-mm thick, while the bottom and right ones measure 1.9mm.
This means that placing two of them next to one another will leave a gap of just 5.7mm between their respective screen contents.
As such, one can consider this newcomer a very convenient candidate for LCD-Videowalls, especially considering the actual performance numbers.
Not only does each panel support the Full HD resolution, but the brightness is an arguably brilliant 700 nits.
The product was made public through an official announcement issued by Samsung Japan, announcement which also revealed one of the display maker's other plans.
Apparently, this 55-inch ultra-thin bezel screen will be followed by one with a diagonal of 46 inches and a separation of 7.6mm.
Unfortunately, even though the unveiling was official, Samsung did not offer any sort of pricing or availability details.
