NEC Display Solutions of America, a provider of commercial LCD display and projector solutions, recently announced its new S Series, which features the addition of the 40-inch S401 and 46-inch S461 LCD displays. Replacing the renowned M Series, the S Series is ideal for those customers with digital signage and entertainment applications running for extended operation times, said the company. These types of environments can include airports, hospitality, boardrooms and public areas.
The full high-definition displays offer a variety of new features compared to previous generation models, including DisplayPort and Ethernet connections for added flexibility, an ambient light sensor for optimum brightness based on existing lighting conditions and more than 30 built-in advanced features in its Enhanced Digital Signage Technology Suite, according to the company.
The displays boast a contrast ratio of 4000:1, an increase from its predecessors, while maintaining the same level of power consumption, said the company. The S401 and S461 have the ability to be tiled in a video wall matrix up to 10x10 (100 displays), which is an improvement from the previous 5x5 capability of the M Series, said the company.
In addition, the NaViSetT technology offers an intuitive graphical interface to adjust the displays’ settings, and remote access is enabled for IT professionals with the Administrator version, said the company.
“Our new S Series displays offer a feature-rich solution to those customers looking for a strong presence with sufficient connectivity options that allow similar performance as our award-winning P Series products,” said Luke Bruschuk, product manager for NEC Display Solutions, Itasca, Ill. “The S401 and S461 bring incredible new benefits to projects involving extended use and satisfy a market that didn’t fit with the product offering in the past. Their standard bezel and business-grade panel benefit flagship stores and designer shops that require a sleek, sophisticated look without straining budgets.”
In other news, NEC announced the addition of the 52-inch P521 to its P Series, joining the 40-inch P401, 46-inch P461 and 70-inch P701. This industrial strength display is ideal in rigorous 24/7 environments such as airports, public information, rental and staging, and healthcare, said the company.
The P521 will replace the successful MultiSync LCD5220 by supplying new features and connectivity to previous 52-inch customers, according to the company. Additions to the new model include DisplayPort for maximum connectivity, Ethernet connection for ease in remote monitoring and more than 30 built-in features as part of its Enhanced Digital Signage Technology Suite, said the company. The Quick input change feature provides fast and easy switching between inputs for customers that require content to continuously run with near-uninterruptible flow, said the company. For even more flexibility, customization options allow users to personalize input names by creating individual titles up to eight characters, such as “Menu PC” or “VidConf,” said the company.
“NEC’s new P521 display brings digital signage customers beneficial features that make deployments more effective and long-lasting,” Bruschuk said. “The P Series battles harsh conditions with a premium-grade panel, including internal temperature sensors, a sturdy mechanical design and a sealed panel design to protect against damaging elements in less than optimal settings. The combination of these advanced features secures the P521 during use and aids in maximizing the display’s lifecycle.”
