A series of thin and lightweight displays
20“ TL-351 (console mount)
Barco’s brand-new family of thin and lightweight displays offers significant benefits
with respect to dimensions, ruggedization and intelligence. The TL display series com-
bines unmatched thinness with exceptionally low weight to provide a unique, rugged
display solution, especially for applications where space and weight are critical.
Barco’s innovative TL series features first-class AMLCD technology, providing excellent
performance in terms of brightness, contrast and viewing angle. Several options and
bezel configurations are available to address virtually any mounting need in any appli-
cation. Additionally, the TL displays combine this high level of performance and ver-
satility with a very competitive price/performance value.

TL-248
(smallest outline)
Thin
The thin footprint of the TL series allows
easy integration into systems and plat-
forms where space is limited.
Barco’s TL-248 smallest outline version
is even less than 1U deep.
Light
The TL displays have an exceptionally
low weight in combination with a high
level of ruggedization. This allows for
major savings in applications where
weight is critical (e.g. airborne). Barco’s
TL-248 smallest outline version is even
only 6.5 kg (14.33 lbs).
Versatile
Barco’s TL series is truly the most ver-
satile display solution around, in terms
of size, ruggedness and mountability.
Barco’s full family of thin and light-
weight displays, available in 19”, 20”
and 24”, has been designed and quali-
fied for application in the most hostile
environments. Three levels of rugge-
dization allow integrators to choose the
TL display that meets their specific pro-
gram requirements. All displays come
as a fully enclosed, drip-proof unit. The
two highest levels of ruggedization
include a front bonded optical stack and
integrated heaters for sub-zero opera-
tions.
With its amazing dimensions and full
range of mounting possibilities, Barco’s
TL display is fully tailored to integrator
needs and ready for integration into
practically any mounting configuration,
in any application and on any platform.
Accessible
Even in harsh environments, Barco’s thin
and lightweight displays allow easy inter-
action with the display content. The
optional touch screen technology has
specifically been designed for military
applications and does not compromise
on image quality. The built-in On-Screen
Display functionality makes interaction
with the display even more user-friendly.
Best price/performance value
The TL series provides the best price/
performance value on the market,
allowing integrators to develop very
competitive visualization solutions for
their customers at a cost which is fully
in line with their program requirements.

A family of versatility
A full family of thin and
lightweight displays
Barco’s TL display family offers 19”
(SXGA), 20” (UXGA) and 24” (WUXGA)
screen sizes.
Mountable anywhere
Barco developed its TL display series
with a special eye to easy integration
into several mounting configurations,
such as racks, consoles, and even
portable workstations and standalone
configurations with VESA mount. The TL
series features a very compact foot-
print, minimal depth and a broad
choice of bezel configurations, all con-
forming to open industry standards. All
these features make Barco’s TL the
most versatile display solution on the
market.
Barco’s TL display series is also equipped
with an integrated hardware image
rotator allowing for optimum use in
both portrait and landscape mode. This
feature can be controlled via the user-
friendly On-Screen Display menu.
One notable example of the TL series’
versatility and compactness is the
TL-351. In its smallest outline version,
this 20” (UXGA) display unit can even
be integrated inside a 19” rack, only
taking up a depth of 2U.

Compatibility with legacy displays
The optional MIL-CON Box and AC Box offer the possibility to
connect your TL display with legacy display systems. Both options
can be easily integrated onto the back of the display.
Ruggedness in line with your
specifications
Barco’s TL displays have been designed
and qualified for application in the most
hostile environments. Next to the stan-
dard ruggedization level, Barco offers
its TL displays with two extra ruggedi-
zation levels, which are suited for spe-
cific naval combat, army and airborne
applications. Both extra ruggedization
levels include Barco’s unique bonded
optical stack, providing the best possi-
ble optical performance in combination
with a totally risk-free solution for con-
densation and other environmental
conditions.

The several fixation points (marked in red) allow the TL displays to be mounted
in practically any mounting configuration, in any application and on any platform.

Proven Barco technology
The TL display family features proven, proprietary Barco tech-
nology which has made Barco's rugged displays so successful
over the past decade in many naval, landbased and airborne
programs worldwide.
Automatic Phase Adjust (APA)
The APA technology, which is especially effective for high-
resolution displays like the TL-361, helps to avoid image arti-
facts like pixel noise. The APA function automatically locks the
LCD sampling clock to the (drifting) graphics generator pixel
frequency. Drift can be caused by temperature changes, elec-
tromagnetic interference and other environmental factors.
Low latency
TL displays are configured to have the lowest possible impact
on system latency. Barco therefore reduces the internal image
processing delay to a minimum.
Extended dimming ratio
For many products, Barco uses in-house manufactured circuitry
to provide advanced dimming solutions.
Optional LCD Flicker Compensation
The TL displays can be equipped with Barco’s unique patented
LCD Flicker Compensation (LFC) solution, which allows opera-
tors to view acoustic sonar images or dense scrolling data
without distracting flicker effects.
Optional touch screen
Barco’s TL displays optionally come with high-performance
touch screen functionality. The display uses NextWindow opti-
cal touch technology, which has high touch accuracy and is
very resistant to dust or water. The touch screen allows fluent
drag and drop actions and can be operated with any available
stylus device. The touch screen technology has no impact
whatsoever on the TL display's optical performance.
