BenQ Announces EDLA Certification

BenQ’s latest digital signage lineup, the SH04 High Brightness series and SL04 series, are now Google EDLA-certified, delivering seamless performance and advanced capabilities. In a world-first achievement, both series are also Pantone and Pantone SkinTone Validated, ensuring true-to-life colour accuracy for unparalleled visual experiences. The SH04 and SL04 series are ideal for school common areas and classrooms, with the high-brightness SH04 displays being especially suited for campus signage applications. Both series are fully certified by Google and run on Android 13, giving school administrators and teachers access to thousands of apps via the Play Store and Google’s core services. Additionally, the SH04 and SL04 series can be easily mounted in portrait or landscape orientation and are designed for 24/7 operation, with a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours.

“We’re excited to unveil our next-generation digital signage,” says Martin Moelle, Managing Director of BenQ Australia. “These innovative displays are built to elevate campus environments, combining vibrant visuals, powerful performance, and enhanced security—setting a new standard for engaging, effective signage and learning experiences.”

Colour modes for every scenario

Both series offer 10-bit colour depth and support a variety of colour modes:

Pantone mode accurately displays Pantone colours, a collection of 110 diverse skin tones. This allows students to learn with the industry standard in colour for courses ranging from art and design to photography and even medical applications such as prosthetics.

M-book mode is designed to perfectly mimic the colours displayed on MacBooks for a seamless viewing experience between MacBooks and the display.

High-detail mode sharpens on-screen text, making it easier to see fine details when viewing blueprints, schematics, floorplans, and more.

Sketch mode is a grayscale mode that makes looking at sketches and drawings easier on the eyes by highlighting contrast, adding warmth, and lowering the display’s brightness to simulate the feel of looking at paper.

Cinema mode lets you play video projects, films, and signage videos with stunning clarity and depth. Unlock HDR10 by connecting an HDMI cable for brighter highlights, deeper blacks, and richly detailed shadows, creating a truly immersive visual experience

Built-in sustainability

The SH04 and SL04 display series are ENERGY STAR 8.0 certified for a reduced carbon footprint. In addition, the packaging size has been halved compared to previous digital signage models. This allows for improved transportation efficiency of the displays by 60% to help cut emissions.

To further reduce emissions, IT admins can use DMS to remotely set sleep modes, power on-off scheduling, and view real-time energy usage statistics of their SH04 and SL04 displays to pinpoint areas where power usage can be optimized.
