PPDS has announced the launch of the new Philips Signage 3000 EcoDesign Series QE-Line, delivering 4K UHD video and picture performance while running on half the power compared to other models. The stylish Philips Signage 3650 EcoDesign – configurable to meet the needs of any environment with no additional hardware necessary – marks yet another major technology milestone for PPDS (and the AV industry) for the development of highly sustainable and energy efficient professional displays for the global market. 

Available now in 50”, 55” and 65” screen sizes, the portrait or landscape mountable Philips Signage 3000 EcoDesign Series complements the unique features and benefits enjoyed on the  Philips Signage 3000 Q-Line Series – installed around the world in schools, retail stores, hotels, cinemas, TV studios, corporate offices, among others – redesigned, remodelled and repackaged using PPDS’ new Eco Design methodology, for energy efficiency and reduced waste.

Manufactured with the environment in mind and utilizing the latest in breakthrough hardware and software, including advanced remote management, the Philips Signage 3650 EcoDesign consumes up to fifty per cent less power versus comparable models, while continuing to offer best-in-class 4K Ultra HD visual performance via a powerful 350 cd/m² LED display.

Available now, and set to go on display at ISE 2024, the Philips Signage 3650 EcoDesign has already been awarded the EPEAT Silver Climate+ Ecolabel, which measures the social and environmental impacts of products from extraction to end-of-life, certifying that it has met 100% of the Climate Criteria plus at least 50% of the existing optional criteria. It has also received among the industry’s lowest energy label ratings for a high-impact professional display, with EU Energy Label E rating on the 50″ model, and D rating label on the 55″ and 65″ models. The Philips Signage 3650 EcoDesign also benefits from PPDS’ strategy to significantly reduce wastage from its packaging, with the Series delivered in 100 per cent recycled and recyclable materials.

Mirroring other premium models, including the market favorite Philips Signage 3000 Series Q-Line, the Philips Signage 3650 EcoDesign is equipped with a powerful quad-core chipset ensuring smooth running and consistent performance. Harnessing the power of Android 10, the Signage 3650 EcoDesign is already equipped to extend into the future, with regular updates able to be added – either manually, or remotely via PPDS Wave, to further increase the lifetime of the display.

In the event of a content disruption, the Philips Signage 3650 EcoDesign also comes equipped with PPDS’ ‘FailOver’ technology, ensuring the display never goes blank, switching automatically to the secondary input if the primary source becomes unavailable. With SmartPlayer, content (video, static images, audio) can simply be saved onto a USB or microSD card plugged directly into the display, while the integrated media player allows for playlists to be easily created and scheduled via the intuitive on-screen menu, ensuring the display remains active. Completing the Philips Signage 3650 EcoDesign’s versatility, the displays also come with Bluetooth 5.2 and WiFi ready via an optional CRD22 module, with conveniently positioned HDMI, DVI, VGA, RS232, RJ45, and USB connectors.
