Visual display solutions provider BenQ America Corp. has officially released its latest interactive digital signage display, the RP700+. Designed to increase classroom interaction, boardroom collaboration and make wayfinding more intuitive, the 70-inch full HD display uses six-point multitouch technology to provide responsive feedback and more accurate positioning, the company said.

The RP700+ features 1920-by-1080p resolution, 4000:1 contrast ratio and 350 nits of brightness, and the unit's two 15W speakers provide the audio power needed to complement interactive applications. The six-point multitouch technology enables receptive tactile navigation, allowing users to touch the screen for responsive panning, zooming and scrolling as on a tablet, the company said. To increase viewer comfort, the panel is equipped with anti-glare glass to reduce screen reflection and eliminate visual noise caused by glare. The display's ambient light sensors also adjust brightness based on surrounding light levels to reduce eye strain and produce up to 50,000 hours of light life, while the unit's anti-fingerprint finish and low blue light technology further optimize the viewing experience, according to the announcement. 

The RP700+ also can be positioned in portrait or landscape mode while hotkeys embedded onto the front bezel enable access to menus, volume and other control features. Three USB ports also on the front bezel enable the RP700+ to support up to three sources simultaneously while providing overall access to HDMI, VGA, RS-232 and S-Video via additional ports. The display is compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome OS, so it works with just about any PC or smart device via plug-and-play capabilities, the company said. 

"BenQ continues to expand its professional portfolio of digital signage solutions with innovative, collaborative, and quality products like the all-new RP700+," said Bob Wudeck, associate vice president, strategy and business development, at BenQ America Corp.,in the announcement. "Featuring multitouch technology, any-source connectivity and wireless presentation capabilities, this interactive flat panel is one of the market's most versatile solutions, packed with features that expand and enhance any presentation, learning session or public information point."

The RP700+ is now shipping in North America.
