NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS INTRODUCES NEW 23-INCH LED-BACKLIT LCD
MONITOR TO ITS MULTISYNC
E231W Brings 1080P Resolution, DisplayPort Connectivity and
Ambient Light Sensor to Business Applications
CHICAGO – August 2, 2010 – NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of
commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced today the introduction of the
LED-backlit MultiSync E231W, an addition to the popular 23-inch desktop category. This
desktop display is designed to benefit a variety of business customers with financial

savings and power efficiency.
The EPEAT Gold rated MultiSync E231W provides users with advanced features that
were created to enhance the desktop computing experience and increase productivity.
Its widescreen display allows users to have several applications open simultaneously,
while its fully-ergonomic design includes 110mm height adjustment, tilt, swivel and pivot
for improved comfort during use.
This E Series model follows in the green footsteps of its sibling, the 22” MultiSync
E222W, with ECO Mode™ to reduce power consumption and heat generation, and an
ambient light sensor to detect external light sources and adjust the display’s brightness
accordingly. Users also have the ability to track their carbon footprint savings with the
MultiSync E231W’s carbon footprint meter, a unique tool that calculates the reduction of
green gas emissions. Additionally, the Intelligent Power Manager (IPM) helps conserve
energy and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by switching to a low power state or
automatically powering down when the monitor is on but not in use.
“NEC is committed to continuing its strong leadership role within the industry by
contributing to a greener environment with an eco-friendly display in the quickly-growing
23-inch category,” said Lynn Gu, Product Manager for NEC Display Solutions. “The
MultiSync E231W uses an LED-backlit panel to increase energy savings by up to 40% in
comparison to conventional CCFL-backlit LCD monitors. This is especially beneficial for
our business customers in this economic downturn.”
The widescreen MultiSync E231W includes the following features:
• 23-inch 16:9 W-LED backlit panel
• 1920 x 1280 full HD resolution
• 25,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio
