Commercial LCD display and projector solutions provider NEC Display Solutions of America today announced its latest ultra-high-definition display, the new MultiSync PA322UHD, aimed at professionals requiring the most accurate colors in their workflow, and suitable for digital signage, kiosk and desktop applications, according to an NEC spokeswoman.

With the addition of this flagship 32-inch MultiSync PA Series monitor, NEC Display said it now offers a range of desktop and large-format displays as well as projectors in UHD and 4K resolutions, extending the company's portfolio of solutions toward solving business challenges.

The PA322UHD display uses a wide-gamut white LED backlight and an IGZO technology IPS-type LCD panel that delivers high image quality with lower power consumption, while delivering 99.2 percent coverage of the Adobe RGB color space, according to the company. It also boasts a multitude of inputs, including two DisplayPort, two DVI-D and four HDMI as well as a USB 3.0 hub with DisplaySync Pro technology to give professionals broad input flexibility for any application.  

This is also the first desktop display to feature an Open Pluggable Specification-compliant option slot for expanded input options, including the SB-04HC 3G/SD/HD-SDI and SB-01HC HD-SDI input cards available from NEC, the company said.

"The PA322UHD offers a high-resolution, color-accurate solution that videographers, photographers and print production specialists can trust for almost every application," said Art Marshall, product manager of professional and medical displays at NEC Display, in the announcement. "These professionals will enjoy the higher pixel density and commercial-grade features in this cutting-edge display."
