Nov. 8, 2009 (PR Newswire) --

NEW YORK, Nov. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics is unveiling advanced digital signage solutions -- from interactive advertising to wayfinding applications -- for the hospitality and lodging industry this week at the International Hotel/Motel & Restaurant Show (Booth #3006).

An emerging technology leader in the digital signage industry, LG is demonstrating the growing importance of digital out-of-home advertising to hoteliers and restaurateurs, with unique LCD HDTV monitors that enhance almost any environment. Wayfinding touch screens such as LG's model M4714T not only bring enhanced customer service but also modernize hospitality spaces. With slim stretch screens (models M3800S-BN and M2900S-BN) that are roughly half the height of a traditional monitor, commercial settings like hotel gift shops and restaurants can take advantage of digital signage even in hard to fit spaces.

"The evolution of hospitality technology and design has led to new opportunities for effective information sharing between the hotel and its guests," said Jeff Dowell, vice president, Digital Signage, LG Electronics USA Business Solutions. "LG helps hoteliers meet the needs of these audiences by providing the right technology solution - from business centers to lobby entertainment - to ensure their experience is as interactive as it is enjoyable."

Touch to Stretch

LG's digital signage products incorporate wayfinding technologies that help guests find their way around the hotel and make it easier to map out a day trip, locate the business center or simply find a place to grab a cup of coffee.

Allowing patrons to pick and choose their destination or figure out their current location, LG's 47-inch class* touch-screen HDTV model (M4714T) brings sophistication to wayfinding and can be applied to lodging and hospitality atmospheres. With 3M Dispersive Signal Touch (DST) integrated technology, screen response is faster, more accurate, and interactive. Full HD 1080p native display resolution allows for crisp, clear content while ultra-high brightness levels bring color and content to life. A narrow 36 millimeter bezel helps the model fit seamlessly into any setting - in portrait and landscape mode.

For innovative software applications and unique installations where just one monitor won't fit the bill, LG's "Stretch Screens" are the perfect solution. Available in 29-and 38-inch class sizes* (models M2900S-BN and M3800S-BN), but still only around half the height of a traditional LCD monitor, the stretch screen is an elegant addition to smaller spaces.
