NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS ANNOUNCES THIRD-GENERATION
P SERIES OF LARGE-SCREEN DISPLAYS
40-inch, 46-inch, 55-inch and 70-inch P Series Displays Feature New
Thinner Chassis, Edge-lit LED Backlights, Dual Expansion Slots and Near
Field Communication
CHICAGO – November 4, 2013 – NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider
of commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced today the latest
generation of its flagship P Series commercial-grade displays. The 40-inch P403, 46-
inch P463, 55-inch P553 and 70-inch P703 displays feature a new thinner chassis, LED
Edge-lit backlights, two expansion slots and Near Field Communication (NFC)
capabilities.
The new P Series displays are LED edge-lit, which means displays are thinner, lighter
and consume less power. In fact, the new generation of displays is up to 56 percent
thinner, 50 percent lighter and consume up to 33 percent less power. All of this means
reduced installation costs and reduced total cost of ownership.
P Series displays are ideal for harsh install environments, including quick-service
restaurants, airports, public information areas, healthcare facilities and retail stores.
These displays boast internal temperature sensors with self-diagnostics and fan-based
technology to prevent overheating and maximize the lifetime of the displays. Delivering
up to 700 cd/m2 maximum brightness and full high-definition panels, the P Series
displays deliver uncompromised image quality.

With new connectivity and new sensors, P Series displays are helping customers to be
more creative and flexible while reducing installation and maintenance costs. The
unique built-in NFC sensor, in combination with NEC’s new Android app, reduces
installation and maintenance costs. A human sensor accessory can be both an energy
saver and enabler of creativity.
The displays also support two expansion slots – one with Open Pluggable Specification
(OPS) technology and a second slot for additional connectivity. The OPS slot adheres
to the Intel specification for standardizing and simplifying slot-oriented digital signage
installations. The second slot allows for customizable input options.
“The P Series displays are proof that quality is never an accident,” said Rachel Karnani,
Senior Product Manager of Large-Screen Displays at NEC Display Solutions. “These
displays are designed to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the most harsh
environments while the new chassis delivers LED backlighting and an enriched feature
set. The P Series really is in a league of its own.”
The P Series displays include the following features:
•
LED Edge-lit backlight technology for reduced power consumption and a thinner
chassis
•
Dual expansion slots, which deliver first-in-class connectivity
•
Faster response times, which mean no blank screen downtime when switching
inputs so content is always visible to customers
•
Human sensor accessory, which detects presence of a person and can adjust
input, brightness and audio volume
•
NFC capabilities, which allow a smart phone or tablet to communicate with
displays for setup and servicing
•
Improved daisy chain capabilities for video and control signals (DisplayPort and
LAN), which reduce cabling requirements
•
Improved input switching speeds, which mean less down time when switching
sources
•
Multiple programmable gamma correction settings, which save time as displays
don’t have to be recalibrated every time requirements change
