Product Description

Integrators specifying a commercial display with TV tuning will find the Philips 43BFL2214/27 professional TV covers both signage and broadcast duties in one chassis. The 4K Ultra HD LED panel delivers 3840x2160 resolution at 350 nits with a 1200:1 contrast ratio, suitable for typical indoor ambient light. Four HDMI 2.0 inputs with HDCP 2.2 accept up to 3840x2160p at 60Hz, and HDMI hotplug detection automatically switches sources and powers the display on or off when a presentation device is connected.

For control system integration, the display is Crestron Connected (v2) certified and supports Extron and SICP over IP, so it drops into managed AV rooms without custom drivers. IT and facilities teams can administer fleets remotely through CMND & Control over LAN or RF, push apps with AppControl, and lock down installation menus, volume limits, and switch-on settings in Professional Mode. The integrated tuner handles 8VSB ATSC, 256QAM cable, NTSC analog, and IP playback including multicast, unicast, and HLS streams. With 16GB of flash memory, Google Play Store access, dual 10W down-firing speakers, and ENERGY STAR certification, the 43BFL2214/27 reduces the need for external players and speakers in standard deployments.
