The HDMI 1.4 specification adds support for extremely high video resolutions that go far beyond today’s 1080p systems. 4K is shorthand for 4,000 lines wide by 2,000 lines high, or roughly four times the resolution of a 1080p display. The term actually covers two formats, both supported in the HDMI 1.4 specification:
• 3840 pixels wide by 2160 pixels high
• 4096 pixels wide by 2160 pixels high

4K displays will put high-end home theater systems roughly on a par with the state-of-the-art Digital Cinema projectors used in many commercial movie theaters. Staying true to its commitment to future-readiness, the HDMI standard can now support these systems with the extremely high bandwidth connectivity they will require.
How to Ensure 4K functionality in your Home Theater System:
• Look for devices that support 4K functionality.
• All High Speed HDMI cables will support 4K functionality when connected to 4K devices. You can use your existing High Speed HDMI cables or choose a different cable type.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 requires that displays installed within a height range of 27-80" (685.8-2032mm) above the ground can be no more than 4" (101.6mm) from the wall.

CE marking is a mandatory conformity mark for products placed on the market in the European Economic Area (EEA). With the CE marking on a product the manufacturer ensures that the product conforms with the essential requirements of the applicable EC directives.

eCoat is a common term used to reference the painting process of electrocoating or electropainting. The process uses electricity to deposit the coating in liquid bath with an anode (anodic) or more commonly a cathode (cathodic). The coating is attracted to the part with the help of the electric field generated. eCoat offers 100% coverage on the exposed surfaces and a very consistent thin film build. This coating is used extensively as a primer for outdoor applications to prolong the protection on the metal surfaces for a far longer period of time.

Peerless-AV® employs eCoat as a base primer for all of its products designed and manufactured for outdoor applications.

If you’re buying a new electrical item, we will recycle your old one (and any other small electricals you have) for free.

Why recycle? Unwanted electrical equipment is the UKs fastest growing type of waste. Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle, electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination – harming wildlife and also human health.
