According to NEC Display Solutions of America, today's businesses are looking to elevate their conference rooms and boardrooms into centers of collaboration and productivity. Part of this process involves giving organizations a reliable display product that also offers the flexibility, control and a lower total cost of ownership necessary for companies to realize their business objectives, NEC says.

To address these issues, the company today announced the introduction of its MultiSync E705 and E805 displays designed to be "feature-rich, large-screen displays with superior visual quality ideal for presentation applications."

The displays each come with an Open Pluggable Specification option slot for future-proof expandability, allowing PCs, a tuner module, an HDBaseT receiver and other options to integrate directly into the display, simplifying installations and reducing the points of failure. In addition, full bidirectional RS-232 and LAN control allow for unabridged communication capability and full compatibility with new or legacy control systems.

A full scheduler feature and commercial-grade thermostatic cooling capabilities also allow the E705 and E805 to fit within educational institutions and digital signage applications where these types of features are necessary.

The benefits of each display include:

• Full-metal chassis and commercial-grade panel with LED backlighting, which give organizations eco-friendly, durable displays;
• Internal 10W speakers and carrying handles, lowering the necessary components for certain projects and simplifying overall installation;
• Integrated temperature sensors and thermostatic cooling fans to enhance lifetime of displays;
• Comprehensive input panel, including two HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI and VGA connections to accommodate a multitude of laptop brands offering extensive flexibility for presenters;
• Infrared sensor and button lock options to bolster security;
• ECO Mode, which cuts power consumption to help users lower their overall total cost of ownership; and
• Custom input detection and auto start-up options give users flexibility with source recognition.

"The E Series large-screen displays come with a rich feature set and full external control, all at an attractive price point for this market," said Keith Yanke, senior director for large-screen displays and projectors at NEC Display Solutions, in the announcement. "NEC is committed to giving organizations more display options to help them reach their current goals, while managing their technology investments for the future."

The E705 and E805 displays are available now at a minimum advertised price of $3,199 and $5,599, respectively. The displays ship with a three-year parts and labor warranty, including the backlight.
