As an example, Hulse said some Volvo dealerships are now installing LFDs at their dealerships. A potential customer can build their dream car via the touchscreen display, choosing colours, interior, wheels and other options, and be able to see the resulting vehicle on the display from any angle or perspective they wish. Another potential use is in the education sector, with something like Google Maps or Google Earth, where a map of the world could be drilled down with a touch of the finger. Museums and science centres are also possible venues.

"I've seen these demonstrations, and it's much more impressive on a large display where you can truly grasp the size and complexity of the image," said Hulse.

In addition to touchscreen capability, the new Samsung offerings also include built-in speakers, eliminating the necessity of adding external speakers, which complicates and lengthens the instillation.

"They're very powerful 10-watt speakers that provide fairly high-quality sound to these high-definition images," said Hulse.

Also new in this generation of LFDs is four-way anti-burn protection to prevent image burning, constantly refreshing and flickering to ensure performance doesn't degrade.
