Beyond traditional displays, Runco’s revolutionary new OPAL image enhancement technology takes Runco’s legendary flat-panel display performance even further by addressing the common flat-panel problems, particularly ambient light, which directly competes against and degrades flat-panel images and distracts the viewer.

The breakthrough Runco OPAL technology utilizes proprietary micro-visual surface treatment of the flat panel to provide three key benefits. First, OPAL’s Ambient-Light Rejection (ALR™) technology, a proprietary panel treatment applied within the flat panel, reduces internal and surface reflections by more than 20 times. As such, OPAL enhances picture clarity and legibility in areas with medium-to-high ambient light without having to resort to a boost in the panel’s backlight brightness, a traditional workaround that tends to wash out colors and contrast. Second, Runco OPAL’s Acute Contrast Enhancement™ (ACE) technology increases contrast by more than three times without losing image clarity within dark scenes, especially in high ambient light. Finally, Runco OPAL’s ISS™ (Impact, Shake and Shock) Protection enhances the panel’s resistance to dust contamination, condensation and even occasional direct impact, such as a blow from a hand-held game control. The flat panel’s surface is less sensitive to daily wear and tear, and the surface can be cleaned with typical household glass cleaner.

For the no-compromise customer who demands the absolute best panel in the market, Runco’s OPAL image enhancement option will be available exclusively for Runco LCD and plasma flat panel displays, including the CX-OPAL42, CX-OPAL47, CX-OPAL55 and CX-OPAL65 flat-panel LCD displays andXP-OPAL50, XP-OPAL50DHD, XP-OPAL65 and XP-OPAL65DHD flat-panel plasma displays.
