STURDIGLASS Video Wall
The all-new Sturdiglass option for Easy-4K video wall displays improves screen durability without compromising viewing experience. GPO Display uses the latest in optical bonding technology to affix high-grade, durable protective glass to the LCD surface. This ensures a strong, long-term bond that won’t “bubble” or peel, even in the most demanding of applications.
Sturdiglass is ideal for displays placed in high-traffic, public settings where there is a high risk of impact. Touch video walls also benefit from Sturdiglass technology, with none of the internal reflection or parallax error that comes with installing separate pieces of protective glass in front of LCD panels. Optical bonding also prevents dust and moisture buildup associated with separate protective glass.
Clarity Increase
When separate protective glass is used, there is a small gap between the LCD panel and protective glass. The gap and panel have different refractive indexes, causing the light to bend when it passes through them. This results in a loss in its intensity, affecting the screen’s readability.

Glare Reduction
When light from an external source passes through the panel and the gap, refraction causes some of it to be reflected back, creating glare on the screen. The increased light transmission of a screen with optical bonding significantly reduces glare from external light sources.
Durability Increase
The additional resin layer in optical bonding also provides increased physical durability to the screen. Eliminating the gap between the LCD module and the panel increases the screen’s resistance to scratches, dust, and fluids.
Touch Accuracy
For touch monitors, the panel thickness and distance between panel & glass influences touch accuracy. This can affect usability with both touch pens and bare hands. A touch monitor with optical bonding maintains consistently accurate touch response making it easy to use and reliable.
Condensation Elimination
In environments with wide temperature ranges, it is common for condensation to cause screens to become foggy from moisture that penetrates the air gap. A monitor with optical bonding fills the gap to prevent condensation from occurring for improved readability.

Warranty
We offer the best-in-industry; with our 3 year standard advanced replacement warranty.
Anti-Glare
View content, not your reflection.
Overheating Prevention
Prevents internal electronics from overheating.
Bezel Width
Extreme Narrow Bezel at 1.8mm (combined), Ultra Narrow Bezels at 3.5mm (combined)
Brightness
We offer this model in high brightness (700nit) and medium brightness (450-500nit).
Color Calibration
Before shipment, displays are thoroughly color calibrated to reduce on-site setup time. We can also come onsite to ensure color balance with a finished system.
Direct-LED Backlighting
Direct-LED backlight provides better uniformity than its edge-lit counterpart. LED backlighting also provides lower power consumption and heat output compared to CCFL backlighting.

1920×1080 Native Resolution.
HDCP Compliant
HDCP-Compliant digital inputs.
Industrial Reliability
50,000+ Hours of Industrial Reliability.
Mounts
Check out our proprietary mounts.
Mullion (bezel) Compensation
Compensate for bezels for a more natural, seamless appearance or avoid loss of data behind bezels – you get to toggle and choose.
Multivision Processing
Expand sources over entire video wall arrays.
Quick Presets
Make the most of your matrix switch; save on processing and reduce transition times with our optional Quick Preset commands.
SICP Control Software
When a third-party control system isn’t in the budget, our free control software will allow you to power on/off (manual or scheduled), recall presets and conduct various control functions from a PC.
