DUBAI: SANYO has used its unique technical expertise in creating a light-weight aluminum framed LCD monitor, which is protected by anti-reflected tamper glass. This means that the SANYO weatherproof monitor can be used in a wide variety of environments due to it being fully approved IP56 we ather-resistant. The monitor makes the ideal display for digital signage and public displays.

The new SANYO 42V Weatherproof LCD Monitor is fully water proof, which can resist at least 65 gallons of water delivered from a distance not less than ten feet for five minutes. This 42" LCD encased in its aluminum frame and tamper-resistant glass stays high and dry. This unit is aimed more at commercial applications such as outdoor digital signage.

"SANYO's commitment to present innovative and environment-friendly products is a cornerstone of the company's global strategy and is in line with our 'Think GAIA' vision, which seeks to harness technology to build a sustainable earth." Tetsuji Okui, Managing Director at SANYO Gulf FZE declared. "SANYO seeks to genuinely promote the interests of society and consumers." Okui added.

With its superior colour handling, the monitor makes it a joy to watch, delivering one of the best pictures. The colour rendition, especially with skin tones, is consistent and of the highest quality.

On the back of the enclosure are two panels. The upper one is for the optional PJNet device, which, when attached, allows to control the display properties of the monitor using Internet browser without any additional software.

The lower panel contains all the audio, video and PC connections, but not in the form that most consumers are familiar with. The diverse types of connectors reflect the industrial and international nature of this monitor.

As a digital signage monitor the need for picture-in-picture features are integrated into the SANYO Weatherproof LCD along with the less cluttered non-backlit remote control.

For those who are so crazy for sports games, this waterproof monitor renders all genres of games in all of their glory. The viewing angle on the SANYO 42V Weatherproof monitor is respectable for an LCD. SANYO describes the tamper-resistant glass as approximately 1/10 less reflective and five times tougher than the usual float glass.

The monitor delivers a great looking 720p image wrapped up in a bright aluminum waterproof enclosure. It's designed for the digital signage and commercial markets. But if you love luscious colour fidelity and you have an inclement TV viewing environment, then you should consider this weather resistant monitor.

The SANYO 42V Weatherproof LCD along with 32" Weatherproof and 32" Robust monitors can be found in the UAE markets. Prices will be available during Gitex 2007.

SANYO's retail outlets in the UAE are set up at Al-Futtaim Electronics, Plug-Ins Electronics, Jacky's Electronics, CompuMe and Sharaf DG across the United Arab Emirates.
