NEC DISPL AY SOLUTIONS INTRODUCES ENTRY-LEVEL LARGE FORMAT
DIGITAL SIGNAGE DISPLAYS
32-inch and 42-inch Models Offer Sleek, Affordable Solution for
Corporate and Digital Signage Applications
CHICAGO – January 19, 2010 – NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider
of commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced today the addition of a
new commercial-grade product line, the E Series. Debuting for this entry-level series are
the 32-inch E321 and 42-inch E421, which give corporate users an affordable option for
lobbies, boardrooms and small conference rooms, while addressing the display needs of
digital signage users in retails stores, waiting rooms, and health clubs.
Due in part to the continuing advancement of the display industry and breakthroughs in
technology, NEC is able to offer high-definition resolution, integrated analog/digital tuner
and 10W stereo speakers as standard options with this series. The E Series brings
corporate and digital signage users the professional performance and looks of the latest
large-screen displays in a flexible, affordable digital signage solution. Multiple source
inputs allow users to work from a variety of sources and easily maneuver between
desired content. These LCD displays feature brightness and contrast levels suitable for
most applications, providing vivid image quality and easier viewing in areas with high
ambient light such as lobbies and health clubs. Low power consumption in the E321 and
E421 reduces energy costs, while the capability to adjust the backlight lowers total cost of
ownership.
