CHATSWORTH, CA and INFOCOMM, LAS VEGAS, NV. -- June 18, 2008 -- SANYO, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of LCD and DLP projectors introduces their second-generation LCD Waterproof Monitor, the CE52SR1. Integrating SANYO's revolutionary sun-readable LCD panel and marine grade construction, the CE52SR1 is designed for virtually any outdoor installation.

The CE52SR1 surprisingly makes no compromises on image quality with Full HD resolution (1920 by 1080 pixels) and a stunning 1500:1 contrast ratio. Combined with the CE52SR1’s sun-readable feature, it is also ideal for viewing under sunlight with 1500 cd/m2 on-screen brightness.

Systems integrators will find the CE52SR1 is adaptable for most outdoor applications in venues such as public place like theme parks, sporting events, bus stops, and railway stations, even highway tollbooths. It can be used in shop windows with sunlight streaming in, restaurant entrances and brightly lit shopping malls. Designers and decorators can use the CE52SR1 onboard a yacht or in a crowded public garden where weather and light are most commonly problematic.
