There’s a lot to take in at Samsung‘s DSE 2014 exhibit where it’s showing its 2014 lineup of commercial displays, including an 85-inch UHD display, ultra-narrow bezel video wall solutions and a new range featuring the next-generation Samsung Smart Signage Platform.
But the big follow-up to Samsung’s Smart Signage Platform in 2013 is its new D Series commercial displays featuring an enhanced system-on-a-chip that now provides support for more advanced applications including touch and video wall configurations—all without the need for an external media player or PC. Samsung says it’s built around a Quad Core processor. The new Smart Signage Platform also adds an SD slot for flexible memory expansion as well as built-in WiFi as a standard feature for many models.

New 2014 D Series Line Up
In addition to the next-generation Smart Signage Platform system-on-a-chip, the new Samsung D Series commercial displays also introduce a flexible new design approach featuring replaceable bezels in a variety of colors that enable users to customize signage to match any environment.
