Founded in 2002, the Florida-based company offers back-lit displays viewable in full sunlight and dimmable so as to be unobtrusive in total darkness. Although 5000nit's initial goal was to design a display markedly brighter than those of competitors, the company decided that offering the dimmest displays was just as important. Working side-by-side with experienced seamen and with a focus on safety
, 5000nits produced a display that's virtually unnoticeable while in use. was one of the first in the world to successfully incorporate LED back-light technology into an LCD display. Originally developed in concert with NASA scientists and Silicon Valley leaders our industry -leading technology has evolved over eight years and countless iterations. Today, three world-class sailing yachts are equipped with the company's water-cooled customOCEAN displays, which were installed in 2007.
5000nits' latest additions to its customOCEAN line are air-cooled 19-inch and 22-inch LCD monitors. The larger screens make it easy to use on a ship's bridge and the new display offers watch officer’s faster access to critical data. Touch-screen capabilities allow the entire ship to be controlled by a simple touch of the hand. Our all-glass front screen allows the creation of a virtual “glass bridge” by mounting multiple individual displays edge to edge. The wall-of-glass effect can be achieved without the added cost and risk of bonding multiple displays together and without creating a potential maintenance nightmare.
5000nits offers a comprehensive two-year warranty. An added margin of safety can be added by participating in our direct exchange warranty option – keep a spare display aboard and we will ship an exchange the moment we receive confirmation that your damaged screen has been shipped for repair. While our American-made exterior displays cost a few dollars more than the competition, they are three to five times as bright. Out interior models are as bright as the competitions' exterior models while still costing significantly less.
