FWD-B Series 55”, 46”, 42” and
32” Public Displays
FWD-55B2/46B2/42B2 Full HD LED Public
Displays and FWD-32B1 LCD Public Display
The FWD-B Series displays offer high quality images to bring excellent colour reproduction
and high visibility for indoor applications.
The FWD-55B2, FWD-46B2 and FWD-42B2 models all feature a slim installation design and
incorporate innovative LED backlighting offering low power consumption, thus lowering
running costs.
These public displays has been designed to be mounted horizontally and vertically for
use in a variety of digital signage applications including retail.
Due to the commercial-grade LCD panel, these displays are suitable for continuous 24
hour (24/7*) applications.
All models come with a 3-year warranty for professional use.
*To retain the life of the panel, we recommend that the display is put on standby for at least one hour every 24 hours.
Eco Mode
With the Eco mode function, power
consumption is reduced using powersaving technology*. Compared with
Standard mode, power consumption
using the High setting is approximately
45% less in Eco mode and using the
Low setting is approximately 30% less
in Eco mode.
* Brightness is also lowered.
Screen Saver
Images with constant brightness (such as
data and still images) can cause screen
burn-in on a display. To prevent this, three
screen saver patterns are provided which
can be adapted.
User-friendly Remote Control
Each display comes with a dedicated
remote control unit, designed with careful
attention to button shapes, sizes, spacing,
and layout. When working with multiple
displays, you can use the remote’s ID
MODE button to control each display
separately.
Control Panel Lock
The control panel lock function can
disable the control panel of a display to
prevent unauthorised changes to display
settings.
Key Features
Low power and environmentally-conscious
The FWD-55B2, FWD-46B2 and FWD-42B2
offer low power consumption with LED
backlighting (approx. 30% less than a
conventional CCFL model from Sony*).
This feature helps to reduce the total cost
of ownership by lowering the running cost.
* Per unit area
Slim installation Design
The depth of the FWD-55B2, FWD-46B2,
and FWD-42B2 is at least 30% less than a
conventional CCFL model from Sony. For
slim installation, the Signal In and Signal
Out terminals are incorporated into this
profile, and do not protrude from the unit.
Landscape/portrait
Because they use commercial-grade LCD
panels and cooling systems, these displays
can be positioned either vertically (portrait)
or horizontally (landscape) with no change
in the backlight level or service life. This
flexibility in orientation makes it possible to
create many different imaging effects in a
wide variety of spaces.

Power-on Delay
Switching on multiple displays at the same time can potentially
cause a damaging power surge. The Power-on Delay feature avoids
this risk by allowing you to stagger the timing so that each unit powers
up at a slightly different time.
High quality images
All B-Series displays achieve high brightness of 450-500 cd/m2 and a
high contrast ratio of 4000:1*. This quality enables excellent excellent
colour reproduction and high visibility for indoor applications.
* The FWD-32B1 has a 3000:1 contrast ratio.
High contrast of 4000:1 Low contrast
