S Series Delivers Business-Grade Solutions with Enhanced Connectivity, Sturdy
Design
CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of commercial LCD display
and projector solutions, announced today its new S Series, featuring the
addition of the 40-inch S401 and 46-inch S461 LCD displays. Replacing the
renowned M Series, the S Series is ideal for those customers with digital
signage and entertainment applications running for extended operation times.
These types of environments can include airports, hospitality, boardrooms and
public areas.

The full high-definition displays offer a variety of new features compared to
previous generation models, including DisplayPort and Ethernet connections for
added flexibility, an ambient light sensor for optimum brightness based on
existing lighting conditions and more than 30 built-in advanced features in its
Enhanced Digital Signage Technology Suite. The displays boast a contrast ratio
of 4000:1, an increase from its predecessors, while maintaining the same level
of power consumption. The S401 and S461 have the ability to be tiled in a video
wall matrix up to 10x10 (100 displays), which is an improvement from the
previous 5x5 capability of the M Series. Their NaViSet technology offers an
intuitive graphical interface to adjust the displays` settings, and remote
access is enabled for IT professionals with the Administrator version.

"Our new S Series displays offer a feature-rich solution to those customers
looking for a strong presence with sufficient connectivity options that allow
similar performance as our award-winning P Series products," said Luke Bruschuk,
Product Manager for NEC Display Solutions. "The S401 and S461 bring incredible
new benefits to projects involving extended use and satisfy a market that didn`t
fit with the product offering in the past. Their standard bezel and
business-grade panel benefit flagship stores and designer shops that require a
sleek, sophisticated look without straining budgets."
