Full HD resolution enters the world of video walls

Middle East, 25 January 2011 - NEC Display Solutions pioneers a new standard in the field of video wall installations by launching the first Full HD LCD public display in the successful NEC MultiSync® X-series range in Spring 2011. With the MultiSync® X551UN the company will, for the first time, introduce a direct LED backlight solution for video wall applications. The bezel of the 55-inch will be even narrower than any video wall product in the current NEC range with planned image transitions of just 5.7 mm. This, together with the unique high resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels guarantees an unmatched image quality. Customers in the retail signage, control room and rental market will greatly appreciate the latest improvements to the new video wall public displays from NEC, the benefits will help to meet the growing needs of these demanding environments.

With direct LED backlight technology, LEDs are situated directly behind the panel, providing even illumination over the entire public display with targeted outstanding brightness of up to 700 cd/m². "We responded to the customer's needs and reduced the bezel width even further while increasing the resolution of the screens compared to the very successful X462UN. Combined with some new additional features, NEC will set the standard again in this demanding and growing market," explains Thorsten Prsybyl, Product Line Manager Public Displays Europe at NEC Display Solutions. NEC Display Solutions will be offering a range of mounting solutions and an Overframe Kit in combination with the MultiSync® X551UN that will make the public display a product that is easy to install for video walls.
