NEC Display Solutions of America has announced the launch of its X651UHD display, a 65-inch ultra-high-definition model delivering content at 60 Hz and four times the resolution of full HD, aimed at giving organizations more options for their unique conferencing and digital signage applications, the company said.

Integrated into the X651UHD display, the new Multi Picture Mode feature enables up to four simultaneous content feeds to be displayed and manipulated. This feature, coupled with new SpectraView Engine support, allows for image performance and adjustment for all relevant visual parameters, the company said, aimed at command and control, retail, CAD/CAM design, video conferencing, rental and staging, and simulation applications to name a few.

According to NEC Display, the display also has the ability to enhance content non-native to the resolution of the panel. Expanding on normal upscaling – when a full high-definition signal is brought into the system – the new UHD Upscaling feature uses algorithms to adjust pixels based on the intensity and color of surrounding pixels in order to provide a sharper and richer image.

"The new 65-inch UHD display offers vivid content and a multitude of application options," said Keith Yanke, senior director of product marketing at NEC Display. "Its Multi Picture Mode feature delivers up to four simultaneous feeds to the display at once, allowing for content flexibility for different digital signage applications, while the SpectraView Engine support gives users the ability to showcase mission-critical color accuracy and adjustment for those applications where colors matter most." 

Some of the display's other benefits include:

• Full 60Hz UHD content playback through a single DisplayPort input;
• High performance S-IPS LCD panel, in tandem with 500 cd/m2 maximum brightness and 1400:1 contrast ratio;
• Color fidelity with 10-bit color performance;
• Integrated temperature sensors and thermodynamic cooling fans for the most rigorous digital signage apps;
• Highly flexible connectivity with DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 1.4 x4, Dual Link x2;
• Full breadth of NEC software support (NaViSet Administrator, PD Comms, SpectraView, MultiProfiler and NEC Display Wall Calibrator) for system and color control;
• Reduced power consumption with LED direct backlighting;
• Landscape and portrait modes for installation flexibility;
• Option slot support allows for UHD playback from future OPS PCs; and
• Built-in dual 10W speakers.

The X651UHD display will be available in April 2015 at a minimum advertised price of $6,899. The display ships with a three-year parts and labor warranty, including the backlight.
