But let's start with the picture quality of the 86BDL3550Q: The display from Philips has a brightness of 400 cd/m², which is perfectly adequate for bright locations without direct sunlight. The contrast of 1200:1 is convincing for digital signage content as well as classic office applications. Together with the high-quality 4K UHD resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, you get vivid and sharp images. In addition, the IPS panel offers you the advantage that your content is still very well recognised even if you look at the display from the side. IPS displays are namely known above all for wide viewing angles and natural, precise colours. Together with the ultra-high-resolution display, your advertising content, presentations or video clips are shown much better and closer to reality.

In addition to the outstanding picture quality, the 86BDL3550Q also impresses with numerous features that also make your work easier. Let's start, for example, with the integrated media player, with which you can easily play videos, music, Office documents that you play back via USB. You programme your content and the display does the rest: for playback, the 86BDL3550Q is brought out of standby mode. After your video has been played, for example, the display returns to standby mode. Above all, this is an energy-saving and sustainable way of working. Easily plan schedules and create elaborate playlists within minutes, which are then played at set times. You also have the option of creating switch-on and switch-off times and linking them to your playlist. You can also have your desired apps start at a predefined time. This way, the display automatically plays your desired content in the morning and switches itself off again at closing time. This consumes no electricity and you don't need any staff to look after the display. By the way, your playlists and content are temporarily stored on the 86BDL3550Q, which means you don't have to worry in the event of a network failure. This way, customers and visitors won't notice a failure and you can work on the solution in the background. With Philips' FailOver feature, the display can automatically switch between primary and secondary inputs. So you can define a list of alternative inputs that the display can then access. This means that if your primary source doesn't want what you want, your content will still play.

For quick content creation and publishing, Philips offers you the free CMND & Create authoring software, which is aimed at both beginners and professionals and is a suitable solution for every user. You can download templates and built-in widgets and quickly share your photos, videos or text at . In addition, you have a SmartBrowser function: via the integrated HTML5 browser you can easily surf the Internet and do not need a PC for this, which is a great advantage especially in meetings and discussions and enables agile working.

With a runtime release of 18 hours, 7 days a week, regular monitoring is an essential part. For this, Philips gives you CMND & Control: This gives you the ability to centrally manage and monitor your Philips display. Distribute software updates to all devices, switch displays on or off without having to be on site. Administrators can intervene at any time if there is an error message in the meeting room or if, for example, a meeting visitor has accidentally changed the channel. You are in control of your displays at all times and can quickly clarify or resolve situations. With CMND & Control you also have another advantage: if you use several Philips digital signage devices, you only need to create settings and playlists once and then distribute them to all displays via CMND & Control.
