Rugged LCD Display 27” ARD27

The ArgonFDS ARD27 Rugged Display 27″ combines ultra-high-definition clarity with military-grade durability for the most demanding mission environments. Measuring approximately 64.0 cm × 38.2 cm × 6.6 cm and weighing 8.2–10 kg.

This rugged display 27″ supports 4K UHD (3840×2160) resolution with auto-scaling, a 400+ nit standard brightness, and a fanless, IP-sealed chassis.

Built to MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-461.  It is purpose-engineered for defence, aerospace, naval, and heavy industrial operations requiring a large, reliable visual workspace.

The ARD27 Rugged Display 27″ provides expansive screen space in a compact-bezel, fully sealed design.  Making it ideal for command and control consoles, aircraft mission systems, naval bridges, tactical vehicles, and industrial control rooms.


Key Features

  • Large 27″ 4K UHD display – Provides 3840×2160 resolution with auto-scaling for exceptional detail.  Therefore, perfect for tactical maps, sensor fusion, and complex mission data.

  • High brightness & contrast – Standard 400+ nits brightness.  Along with >1400:1 contrast for clear readability in control rooms or indirect sunlight.

  • Rugged sealed construction – Fully enclosed, fanless aluminium chassis with IP-rated protection.  Against dust, salt fog, and moisture for maximum reliability.

  • Flexible power input – Operates on 18–36 VDC or 110/220 VAC (44–440 Hz) for versatile deployment across vehicles, naval vessels, and fixed installations.

  • Versatile I/O options – Supports DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, HD-SDI, S-Video, RGB, and composite video inputs, plus RS-232/USB for control and optional touch screen.

  • Optional rugged touch screen – Optically bonded analog resistive multi-touch allows operation with gloves or in wet conditions.

  • Proven MIL-STD resilience – Built and tested to MIL-STD-810 (shock, vibration, temperature, altitude) and MIL-STD-461 (EMI/EMC) for mission-critical dependability.


Key Benefits

  • Mission-ready durability – To begin with, the ARD27 thrives in high-altitude, vibration, shock, and wide-temperature environments.  Ensuring reliability in defence and industrial missions.

  • Superior clarity for complex data – Moreover, its 4K UHD resolution and strong contrast deliver outstanding readability for multi-window C4ISR displays, video feeds, or advanced mapping.

  • Streamlined integration – In addition, the thin-bezel design, universal power input, and multiple video interfaces make integration into naval control consoles, aircraft cockpits, or mobile command centres straightforward.

  • Local support & expertise – Finally, Metromatics provides Australia & NZ-based engineering, integration assistance, and after-sales support, ensuring smooth deployment and dependable long-term performance.
