NEC Display Solutions Introduces Premium 22-Inch Widescreen LCD

Feature-Rich, Superior Performance, EPEAT Gold Desktop Monitor
Delivers Exceptional Quality
CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading stand-alone provider
of commercial and residential LCD and plasma displays and projectors,
announced today the launch of its new 22-inch MultiSync EA221WM
widescreen LCD monitor. This is the second MultiSync EA Series product
to be introduced following the launch of the 26-inch EA261WM in June.

The MultiSync EA221WM is a premium enterprise display built with
top-performing panel technology, and boasting a 5ms response time, a
wide-viewing angle of up to 176 degrees and an ultra-high contrast
ratio of 1000:1 for optimized image quality. Functionality is enhanced
by the four-way ergonomic capability (height, swivel, tilt,
pivot/portrait), a four-port USB hub, built-in multimedia speakers and
cutting-edge technologies. Its widescreen design complements the
growing trend of wide-format applications and helps users realize
greater productivity, especially when viewing spreadsheets, Internet
pages and extended emails, as well as working simultaneously in
multiple/side-by-side application windows.

"The new MultiSync EA Series brings premium NEC quality to those
users who demand exceptional technology, rich features, top
performance and high productivity," said Lynn Gu, Product Manager at
NEC Display Solutions. "The full ergonomics and outstanding image
quality built into this display make a big difference in the user's
experience. The MultiSync EA221WM is also designed with the
environment in mind as environmental stewardship is critical to
keeping our customers competitive in today's business climate."

Building on its environmental leadership, NEC has registered the
MultiSync EA221WM display as EPEAT Gold. As an EPEAT requirement, the
MultiSync EA221WM also is ENERGY STAR(R) compliant. Products that earn
the ENERGY STAR designation prevent greenhouse gas emissions by
meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. By
leveraging NEC's ECO Mode(TM), users can lower power consumption and
the amount of waste heat released into the environment. The built-in
carbon footprint meter informs and motivates responsible use of the
display by calculating and tracking carbon savings.

The MultiSync EA221WM display includes the following features:

-- 1680 x 1050 resolution (WSXGA)
