PPDS has unveiled the Philips Stretch 3150, a new 32:9 ultra-wide digital signage display designed for installations where space is limited but visibility is critical. The display is available now and will be shown ahead of ISE 2026.
The Philips Stretch 3150 features a 37-inch display with a 1920-by-540 resolution and is designed for continuous 24/7 operation. PPDS said the new model was developed using market feedback and updated screen technology to improve flexibility, energy efficiency and reliability across a wider range of applications.
The display replaces the earlier Philips S-Line introduced in 2022 and is intended for use in environments such as retail, transportation, food and beverage, hospitality, education, healthcare, banking and public venues. Common applications include branding, wayfinding, live timetables, menu boards and promotional content.
Designed to fit in narrow or unconventional spaces, the Philips Stretch 3150 can be mounted in portrait or landscape orientation and weighs 7.6 kilograms. It features narrow bezels and delivers 700 candelas per square meter of brightness for visibility in both natural and artificial lighting. PPDS said the format makes it suitable for locations above shelving, on kiosks or within temporary installations.
For content deployment, the display can operate as a standalone unit or be daisy chained with additional displays using HDMI connections. Multiple displays can be driven from a single external player for tiled installations.
The Philips Stretch 3150 includes an integrated slot for an optional CRD32 Wi-Fi module, enabling wireless connectivity and Bluetooth support. Content can be managed from the cloud, local memory or USB, allowing AV and IT teams flexibility in how displays are controlled and secured.
The display runs on an Android 13 system on chip, allowing native Android apps to be installed directly on the display without requiring an external media player. The platform also supports compatibility with Philips Wave, PPDS’ cloud-based display management platform, which enables remote monitoring, firmware updates, playlist management and power scheduling.
PPDS said the Philips Stretch 3150 consumes approximately 26 watts of power, representing a reduction of about 60 percent compared to its predecessor. The display carries an EU Energy Label rating of F.
At PPDS, our focus is fulfilling and catering for the visual needs and unique requirements of the market,” said Bart Wouters, global product manager for digital signage at PPDS. “With the new and enhanced Philips Stretch 3150, we are bringing the best of the original Philips S-Line, together with a wave of new and upgraded features and designs, providing our partners and customers with the high quality tools to reach and exceed their ambitions.”
