CHICAGO – September 22, 2015 – Out of 535 nominees, Peerless-AV® of Aurora, IL, has been selected as one of the Top 100 Finalists still in the running for the 14th annual Chicago Innovation Awards.

The product nominated is the Peerless-AV 55" Xtreme™ Outdoor Display, a unique fully-sealed display that offers the ultimate protection against weather, water, and dust without the need for vents, filters or fans. Designed for year-round use, the 55" Xtreme™ Outdoor Display relies on a patented Dynamic Thermal Transfer™ system that keeps internal components safely warmed in extreme cold and properly cooled in extreme heat, allowing for the display to operate in temperatures ranging from -40°F to 140°F. With anti-reflective, impact-resistant safety glass and an ambient light sensor, the 55" Xtreme™ Outdoor Display is ideal in any commercial setting.
