“These offerings represent our most extensive set of solutions for the broadcast market yet,” said Kathy Skinski, general manager for broadcast and media at Leyard and Planar, in the company announcement.

“We’ve been hard at work over the past year developing the highest quality media experience aimed at propelling our broadcast customers to the forefront of the industry,” she said.

The Leyard TVF Series 1.2millimeter model “delivers clear, crisp images at nearly every angle and viewing distance,” according to the company announcement. It also allows commentators “to distinguish and describe content standing very close to the video wall,” the announcement says.

It offers a 27-inch, slim-profile display cabinet, front serviceability and a creative, stackable design. The Leyard TVF 1.2 joins other models available in 1.5-, 1.8- and 2.5-millimeter pixel pitches.

Leyard and Planar also recently introduced their offering in the high contrast ratio and color accuracy of high dynamic range (HDR) content using Leyard LED video wall displays.
