Praevar, a Toronto-based media display and kiosk provider, has launched its 4K Podium 75-inch High-Brightness, Low-Power LCM outdoor display, according to a press release.

The display provides 4,000 nits of brightness and consumes 200W of energy, up to 35% less than comparable traditional displays currently on the market, and the unit's weatherproofing is engineered for sun, heat, and rain.

"At Praevar, we've built a strong reputation for designing high-performance, reliable, and energy-efficient digital signage displays," Ralph Idems, CEO at Praevar Corporation, said in the release. "Our customers are increasingly challenged by the rising costs of energy, the difficulty of providing power to remote locations, and the growing demand for environmentally friendly solutions. That's why we focused on developing a display that delivers brilliant 4K resolution with 4,000 nits of brightness, while consuming 35% less power than traditional models."

The display's full features include:

• Delivers 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) at 60Hz with 4,000 nits of brightness for clear visibility, even in direct sunlight.
• Consumes up to 35% less power compared to traditional LCD panels, reducing energy costs and environmental impact.
• High Temperature Optical Stack prevents sagging and yellowing from extreme heat, ensuring long-term image quality.
• Local dimming technology with 200 zones optimizes contrast and enhances visual depth.
• Fully sealed backlight and industrial-grade components provide durability, protecting against dust and moisture.
• Slim, open-frame design for easy integration, with the option to mount back-to-back.
• Customizable firmware and hardware for seamless compatibility with unique signage solutions.
• Includes multiple connectivity options: DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 2.0, VGA, Ethernet, and RS232 for flexible integration.
• Advanced sensors for temperature and ambient light with auto-dimming features, plus options for particle and humidity sensors.
