MagicInfo Pro also supports 1920 x 1080 full HD content, for the most impactful images possible. The CX line incorporates an RS-232C interface, allowing for a single remote computer to control up to 25 displays for convenient and efficient distribution of information.

Bringing a new level of design to the professional display market, the CX series features a high-gloss shiny finish to add a touch of class to any environment. With a resolution of 1366 x 768 cd/m(2) of brightness on the 400CX and 400CXn and 1920 x 1080 cd/m(2) of brightness on the 460CX and 460CXn, 3000:1 high dynamic contrast ratio, and a fast 8ms response time, the CX series provides a clear image to support commercial needs. Built-in 10-watt speakers bring crisp, precise sounds to consumers nearby, eliminating the need for separate speakers.

"The CX series is ideal for businesses where you need a professional TV product that exceeds expectations in form and function," said Christopher Franey, vice president of commercial sales and marketing for Samsung Electronics America, Information Technology Division. "Introducing new features, such as the addition of a built-in tuner, with design functionality and high-quality performance combined with the built-in PC, is another example of Samsung's commitment to growth, innovation, development and success within the digital signage industry."
