Power Smarter With TRU-Vu’s 24VDC Monitors

At TRU-Vu Monitors, we understand that mission-critical applications demand display solutions that don’t just perform, they excel. That’s why our 24 VDC low-voltage LCD monitors are engineered to thrive where standard AC-powered displays fall short. Designed for heavy equipment, mobile and vehicle-based installations, industrial automation, marine, transit, and other demanding environments, these monitors deliver reliable performance with simplified wiring, reduced conversion losses, and lower heat generation.

Many industrial and manufacturing facilities, heavy equipment and mass-transit systems have moved to 24 VDC LCD monitor systems. This improves operator safety, and often results in cost savings over 120 VAC systems. Additionally, they allow for easier integration into battery or vehicle-power systems (reducing the need for bulky AC inverters), lower electromagnetic interference and better safety margins around ground loops, plus the ability to deploy in mobile or remote-powered scenarios with higher efficiency. Our low-voltage monitors support a wide range of sizes and formats (from 7 ” up to 55 “), with configurations for panel-mount, open-frame, waterproof, sunlight-readable, and custom OEM builds

How to Fine-Tune an LCD Display

Typically, an LCD display will have a very good image right out of the box. Additional improvements can be made to the display by adjusting the settings. The ideal tool to use is a grayscale pattern such as the SMPTE pattern (shown above) or equivalent. This will allow the Brightness and Contrast to be set correctly without guessing. For optimal image quality, set-up your monitor in the following sequence:

1. With a representative image on the screen, use the OSD (On-Screen Display) buttons to have the display “Auto Adjust”. This will set the majority of the adjustments to their optimal level.

2. Set Brightness: With an image that displays Black portions, set the Brightness control to adjust these black portions so they appear black and not gray. Set too low, the whole image will appear too dark; set too high, the image will appear washed out.

3. Next, Set Contrast: With an image that has White portions, set the Contrast so that the whites are bright without becoming over-saturated. There should be some definition between white and slightly darker regions of the image.

4. Once the Brightness and Contrast are set, the color temperature can be set. Choose 9300K for a Cool (more blue) image, 6500K for a Warm (more red) image, or you can select “USER” to create a custom color temperature. Some displays may also offer a color temperature of 7500K. Color temperature can be subjective and greatly depends on the desired representation of the image. 

Please note, not all video cables are manufactured to the same level of quality and the information above may not pertain to every video cable on the market. It is best to contact the cable manufacturer directly and ask them to provide you with the maximum length their specific video cable will transmit your desired video resolution before committing to a purchase.
