NEC Display Announces Fifty-two-inch, Full High-definition LCD
Chicago, Illinois—NEC Display Solutions of America, the recognized leader of professional-grade commercial and residential LCD panels, plasma, and projector displays, has announced the 52-inch MultiSync LCD5220, a full high-definition, wide-screen display designed for a variety of digital signage applications, corporate boardrooms, and education venues. NEC Display is the first manufacturer to introduce a fifty-two-inch display based on a professional-grade panel in the industry.
The new LCD5220 has improved contrast, color, and brightness to overcome sunlit and bright environments, and supports the 1080p HD standard. Its SpectraView IIT color calibration kit ensures color uniformity and fidelity across individual and multiple screens, creating a perfectly matched image in tiled environments. The ultra-thin bezel (19 millimeters / 0.7 inches) also allows a more seamless picture when used in multiple-display, video-wall implementations.
The LCD5220 display can be seen at the 2008 Digital Signage Expo (NEC Display Booth No. 113) February 27 through February 28 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“The new fifty-two-inch display is a top performer and should be considered anywhere high brightness and crystal-clear details are required,” said Clinton Wilhight, Senior Product Manager for NEC Display Solutions. “NEC is raising the bar in the digital signage industry. Its professional-grade LCD panel and components are industry hallmarks. They give our customers great confidence in NEC’s renowned reliability in commercial applications.”
An extension of NEC’s market share-leading MultiSync Information Display Series, the LCD5220 includes NEC’s proprietary and advanced Digital Signage Technology Suite (DSTS), making it easier to deploy and manage multi-screen networks. The suite includes nearly thirty advanced features that improve screen performance, lower total cost of ownership and enhance display management. These features and functions were developed specifically for digital signage, making the display ideal for the transportation, corporate, medical, retail, government, and hospitality markets.
The LCD5220 employs a U-shaped backlight system, leveraging fluorescent bulbs for even heat distribution and uniform brightness. In addition, the display boasts a sealed cabinet design, ideal for digital signage environments that are exposed to a variety of contaminants, such as dust, smoke and grease.
NEC is known for its comprehensive approach to digital signage, with design, financing, integration, deployment, and technology support resources, making it a leader in total display solutions.
The 2007 World Digital Signage Markets Report from Frost & Sullivan states, “NEC was the leader in the world digital signage display market 2006 with 23.1 percent market share (the latest year for which data are available). The company has built on its wide range of product offerings in both the LCD and plasma displays.”
