NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS EXPANDS BUSINESS-GRADE S SERIES WITH

52-INCH LCD DISPLAY

DisplayPort, Ethernet Connections Make S521 Ideal for Digital Signage

Applications with Extended Operation Times

CHICAGO – May 3, 2010 – NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of

commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced the addition of the 52-inch

S521 to its S Series, which includes the 40-inch S401 and 46-inch S461 LCD displays.

This full high-definition display is designed for environments with extended operation

times, such as airports, retail and other public areas, as well as applications including

corporate boardrooms, meeting rooms and video conferencing systems.

The S521’s ambient light sensor provides optimum brightness based on existing light

conditions, while its Enhanced Digital Signage Technology Suite boasts more than 30

built-in features to benefit a variety of applications. This model aligns with its S Series

siblings in maintaining a low level of power consumption and offering a number of digital

connection options, along with the standard analog connections, to satisfy the myriad of

large-format display applications in which it can be installed. Users can take advantage of

remote monitoring and flexible control by utilizing Ethernet, IR, RS-232 in/out and

DDC/CI.

“The immense capabilities provided in the S521 give businesses the opportunity to

increase their visibility with customers and communicate more effectively, all the while

maintaining efficient use of energy,” said Luke Bruschuk, Product Manager for NEC

Display Solutions. “Its advanced cooling design elongates the product’s lifetime and

minimizes the likelihood of image retention and inconsistent color display, which is crucial

for those extended operation applications. The S521’s full high-definition 52-inch screen

creates brilliant images, and its value grows significantly when additional methods of

displaying content are readily available through the future-proofing expansion slot.”

Below is a partial list of features included in the S521:

• 1920 x 1080 full high-definition resolution

• Brightness up to 500 cd/m²
