Rental & Staging Systems InfoComm Product Award
Samsung’s ME75B LED-backlit LCD was honored by NewBay Media’s Rental & Staging Systems as Best Flat Panel Display-Larger than 70”. The awards are designed to showcase the most innovative new commercial AV products introduced between July 2012 and March 2013. At 75-inches, the Samsung ME75B is the largest LED commercial display that uses the edge-type BLU, which not only uses less power and emits less heat than conventional CCFL LCD displays, but also drastically reduces both the weight and depth of the display, making it easier and more efficient to mount.
