PPDS (aka: Philips digital signage) announced the latest evolution in its strategy to bring ever more sustainable digital display solutions to market with the launch of the new and enhanced Philips Signage 4650 D-Line Series of 4K displays. The new Philips 4650 Signage Series brings together the “best of Philips D-Line,” with new features designed for 24/7 use, and available in 32″, 43″, 50″, 55″, 65″, 75″, 86″ and 98” sizes. The Philips Signage 4650 D-Line Series is also a native 4K (3840 x 2160), 500 cd/m2 display with a thin bezel (11.9mm – 14.9mm) in a portrait or landscape mountable design.

In addition, PPDS says the Philips 4650 Series also comes equipped with Advanced Super Dimension Switch (ADS) wide-view technology to deliver faster on-display picture processing for smoother content transitions, remarkable image accuracy, and superior color reproduction with 178-degree viewing. QuadViewer also allows displays to transform into a bezel-free 2 x 2 video wall, playing multiple content/channels on the same screen simultaneously. This guarantees Philips D-Line displays make a powerful impact in almost any indoor setting or application, with retail, corporate, education, food and beverage, transportation, entertainment and indoor venues among primary focus markets.

Continuing the evolution of modular technology debuted on PPDS’ Philips direct view LED range, the 4650’s new modular design brings additional value to customers, allowing for components to easily be detached and replaced in the event of unlikely faults or age-related degradation. Putting users in full control and enhancing their sustainability opportunities — including cost and energy savings — the new Philips 4650 D-Line Series is also compatible with PPDS Wave, the company’s cloud-based remote display management ecosystem, designed to release the “full power and intelligence inside Philips professional displays.”

As with previous Philips D-Line displays, PPDS continues its partnership with Crestron, with all Philips D-Line 4650 displays coming with Crestron Connected as standard. The inclusion of PPDS’ Smart Browser also lets customers connect and control content via the cloud, using the display’s integrated HTML5, Chromium-based browser.

Also, the Philips 4650 Series has been updated from Android 8 to Android 11, bringing enhanced performance (including software and apps), additional capabilities and the latest security updates, among others. Optimized for native Android apps, customers can install web apps and software directly onto the display, eliminating the need for an external media player and additional costs.

Adding more convenience and peace of mind to customers, the new Philips Signage 4650 Series has also seen internal storage double, from 16GB to 32GB, allowing more content to be stored directly on the display, with RAM also increasing from 3GB to 4GB, for improved, more consistent speeds and performance.

Finally, connectivity includes Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 6, allowing for speeds of up to 9.6 Gbps. 4G connectivity and HDMI.
