Samsung, In the box... In a good way!


The Samsung UD22.  Finally, manufacturers are thinking outside  the box.    Paradoxical thought brought Samsung back into the box.  Finally a decent 1:1 aspect ration screen!

Some of you may be thinking ok, why?  But if you are thinking of building a video array using many screens, a 1:1 aspect is an essential building block!  Can you imagine Lego with out the square blocks?  Moreover the UD22 1:1 aspect ratio screen is in the pro series.  Meaning it has all the pro features like a robust PSU, DVI Daisy chaining, MagicInfo and a slim bezel (.3mm). 

Although I had the pleasure of visiting Samsung HQ Canada and got to see the device, it was the day after public launch, so I am unable to find the details of the device. 

Since I am planning to use them in a new installation, I will receive details soon.  What I can tell you is, the resolution is 960x960.  The contrast ratio and viewing angle, I cannot give you numbers, but I can say its brilliant,  and the and - GREAT!  Only when looking at it side on do you loose image quality.

What I can share here is an image taken while at the Samsung Offices of the display.  There are 2 of them side by side.  I cant wait to get in there for some scale testing and the actual installation of them!

While I was there I also saw their new Transparent Display Case.  Not unlike the SamilCTS Screen I talked about from Digital Signage Expo earlier this year.

Until Next Time!
