• Overview

  KEY FEATURES

  

  • Bright, vibrant LCD screens from 15.0″ to 19.0″
  • Support for resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 pixels
  • Economical plastic enclosure and metal rack mounting kit
  • Ideal for commercial and light industrial applications
  • Supports analog video with separate sync

  In order to reduce both cost and lead time, General Digital modifies high volume LCD monitors intended for the desktop market and integrates the assembly into our final product configuration.

  DURABLE MONITORS FOR AN ACTIVE WORK FORCE

  AMTFT LCD SCREENS

  General Digital integrates the latest advances in LCD display technology including 15″ and 19″ (diagonal viewing area) panels. The active matrix TFT LCD screens offer up to 16.7 million colors, wide viewing angles and fast response times (suitable for live video).

  HIGH PERFORMANCE VIDEO CONTROLLER

  

  All standard PanelPal rack mount LCD monitors support non-interlaced analog video (Separate sync).

  Features include Auto Setup, Horizontal/Vertical Positioning, Phase and Fine Tune Adjustments, Color Control, Multiple Languages, and Image Expansion (not all models).

  PLASTIC/METAL CONSTRUCTION

  The PanelPal’s display and electronics are housed in a durable, plastic enclosure that is ideal for commercial and light industrial applications.

  The plastic construction is intended for high volume production and minimizes both cost and lead time. A metal mounting frame and panel mount (flanged) bezel facilitate integration into consoles or kiosks. The standard bezel is finished with a black powder coat, although other colors are optionally available.

  

  PROTECTIVE GLASS/OVERLAY AND SEALED GASKET

  A glass or polycarbonate overlay can be added to the design to protect the LCD display. This feature is offered on a semi-custom basis and may affect lead time. In addition, a sealed gasket is installed between the display and bezel to protect the monitor’s electronics from dust, liquids (e.g., spilled coffee) or other debris.
  

  OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES

  

  The PanelPal has been optimized for mass production and cost efficiency. As a consequence, the design does not offer the same level of flexibility as its sister product, the Saber PanelMount. However, General Digital can still offer some limited customization to the design. Please speak with a Sales Engineer for additional information.

  PRIVATE LABELING

  General Digital encourages relationships with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and is willing to maintain your company identity (private label) on our products. Please speak with a Sales Engineer for additional information.

  DISPLAY

  In order to reduce both cost and lead time, General Digital modifies high volume LCD monitors intended for the desktop market and integrates the assembly into our final product configuration. Unlike the Saber PanelMount (whose components have multiple sources of supply), the PanelPal is affected by the life cycle of a single commodity product, which is typically 18–30 months. Although it is possible that the commodity monitor will be replaced with a “like or equivalent” model, it is completely subject to market availability and popularity.

  1 Native Resolution is the fixed number of horizontal and vertical pixels arrayed in the viewable area of an LCD monitor. Other resolutions can be displayed.
  2 Brightness and Contrast values for standard brightness displays are provided by the manufacturer of the LCD component; these values are nominal and may vary. 
  3 The hours for Backlight MTBF refer to the half-life of the backlight bulbs; that is, the point at which the bulbs reach half of their original brightness. It does not indicate the life expectancy of the bulbs.

  Optical Characterization Services (2:16)

  Unlike your phone, a display’s position cannot easily be adjusted to increase readability in direct sunlight. General Digital’s Optical Characterization Services take the guesswork out of quantifying how your display will perform under sunlight conditions. The following video explains the process in detail.
