Christie Officially Announces 55″ with Gorilla Glass

Back at ISE in January, we shot a video of the first ever showing of the Christie FHD551-XG, a 55″ LCD that is integrated with Corning Gorilla Glass (making it virtually indestructible):

Well, at last month’s InfoComm show in Orlando, Christie officially launched the FHD551-XG and gave us a glimpse of the specs:

• Native 1920×1080 direct-LED lit LCD using commercial glass
• Bezel thickness of 1.8-mm (bottom/right) and 3.7-mm (top/left)
• 77 nits (cd/m2) brightness
• 3000:1 contrast ratio
• Lifespan of 50,000 hours
• HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA and two DVI inputs
• Control via RS232 or RS485
