NEC intros backlit video wall display and bundles aimed at cost-conscious end-users

May 20, 2014

Commercial LCD display and projector solutions provider NEC Display Solutions of America announced today the addition of a lower cost, ultra-narrow bezel display and two video wall bundles for all-in-one, easy-to-configure digital signage solutions.

The X464UNV is a reduced-brightness LED backlit display aimed at the cost-conscious. The two-by-two (X464UNV-TMX4P) and three-by-three (X464UNV-TMX9P) LCD TileMatrix Digital Video Walls leverage four and nine X464UNV displays, respectively, with the full adjustment capabilities of the pull-out mounts. This mounting system allows for simple installation with alignment and access for servicing the video walls.

The 46-inch X464UNV’s ultra-narrow bezel allows for a screen-to-screen distance between two neighboring X464UNV displays of just 5.7 millimeters. The minimal transition gap between displays allows a homogenous picture across the matrix. Minimal bezel widths also help avoid interruptions of the displays, NEC said.

"We're adding to our portfolio of video wall bundles as a result of their popularity with customers," said Rachel Karnani, senior product manager of large-screen displays at NEC Display Solutions, in the announcement. "Video walls can be an important component to an overall branding strategy. The X464UNV ultra-narrow displays and the pullout mounts that comprise these bundles offer a simple and cost-effective video wall solution."

The X464UNV display, and X464UNV-TMX4P and X464UNV-TMX9P video wall bundles include the following features:

• Professional-grade LCD panels, advanced thermal protection and sealed panel design intended for the most formidable digital signage industry requirements, NEC said;
• LED backlighting technology, which improves power consumption and allows for a slimmer depth;
• 500cd/m2 maximum brightness combined with full-HD resolution;
• TileMatrix technology, which allows for manipulation of a single picture to two-by-two or three-by-three formats;
• Auto Tile Matrix capabilities, which NEC said reduce set up times and therefore cost
• Full connectivity with DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI-D digital inputs, and Ethernet with automated email notifications for diagnostic purposes; and
• Standard on-site warranty service for all included displays.

The X464UNV, X464UNV-TMX4P and X464UNV-TMX9P will be available this month.
