while the 42VP4 features an anti-reflective filter
for areas with controlled lighting. Either way, the
view will be picture perfect every time.

A sleek new design with cable management
system, programmable timer and portrait
capability make them the perfect choice for any
public environment. No matter how you look at it,

superior image no matter how you view it

The 42 Public Display Series offers wide VGA native
resolution to give your ideas more power and clarity than
ever. The monitor ’s wide VGA panel provides a sharp, crisp
display of high-resolution text and graphics and its
progressive scan driving method offers stable, flicker-free
images. Advanced AccuBlend scan conversion provides
high quality scaling for non-native resolutions signals. And
sophisticated video signal processing, including motion­compensated 3D scan conversion and 3/2 pull down
processing, delivers smooth, lifelike video. NEC ’s patented
Capsulated Color Filter ensures realistic color and it’s
further enhanced by AccuCrimson technology for the
purest reds possible.

connect every which way

Connect to multiple sources from video to HD to RGB.
Signal loop-out capability allows a source to easily be
looped from one monitor to the next allowing you to
connect 4 displays without the use of an external DA*.

suit your style with portrait or landscape

Depending on your needs, you can display in either portrait
or landscape orientation.

matrixing simplified

The built-in matrix gives you greater flexibility by allowing
you to arrange the monitors in a 2x2 (84”) or 3x3 (126”)
matrix without an external processor. The Auto ID feature
allows the setup of the matrix to be simpler. The repeat
timer allows two different matrix settings, creating a self
running demo.
