Sunlight Viewable 8.4" TFT Monitor as 9" CRT Replacement...

Kent Modular Electronics Ltd. (KME) of Rochester, a leading UK monitor manufacturer for 25 years, has designed a novel LCD (TFT) chassis monitor to replace 9" CRT monitors used in a variety of Ticket Machine, Cash Dispenser and Instrumentation applications.

The 29LW081 series features a very high light output (1400 cd/m²) making it suitable for use in high ambient light conditions and for good viewability in direct sunlight. It is VGA/SVGA compatible (up to 800 x 600 pixel resolution) and is immediately compatible with analogue video outputs from a PC or PLC).

The 8.4" monitor Head is mounted on a flexible metal chassis which can be set to replicate the horizontal and vertical positions of the original CRT monitor which it is designed to replace. It is also available without the CRT chassis metalwork as a stand-alone display module for new OEM applications.

Monitor set up controls are located at the rear of the head and there is provision to add a remote photo-sensor to dim the display as ambient light levels reduce (i.e. for night-time viewing a light output of 100 cd/m2 is more than adequate). This results in extended backlight life. The monitor is powered from 12Vdc, with provision for attachment of an autoranging 90-265Vac power supply to the rear of the chassis.

Touchscreens and Privacy Filters can be supplied as optional extras.
