NEC intros new 80-inch digital signage display

June 3, 2013

NEC Display Solutions of America, provider of commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced today the V801 commercial-grade LCD digital signage display, an 80-inch large-screen display that is LED Edge-lit, with a slim cabinet depth, lightweight design and an OPS-compliant expansion slot.

Designed to be easy to install, the V801 is intended for applications that require larger screen sizes, with a full HD panel, integrated temperature sensors and fans, the company said. The V801's features make it suitable for extended use in locations such as education, retail, restaurants, training facilities and corporate boardrooms, according to NEC.

The V801 also features built-in, 10-watt speakers and an Open Pluggable Specification-compliant expansion slot. This future-proofs the display and allows for the seamless integration of a computer or other NEC/third-party accessories. Moreover, video, RS-232 control and power are passed internally from the display to the computer, eliminating additional cabling and simplifying installations.

"The V801 display provides a large canvas with which to make a strong impression to core audiences," said Rachel Karnani, product manager of large-screen displays at NEC Display Solutions. "Its slim depth, full-HD capabilities and OPS slot give education facilities, airports, restaurants and other venues more options for distinguishing themselves within an attractive total cost of ownership model."

The V801 display includes the following features:

• LED backlighting technology for reduced power consumption
• Commercial-grade LCD panel and components to enable extended run times
• 1920 x 1080 full-HD native resolution
• 320/460 cd/m² brightness (typical/maximum) and 5000:1 contrast ratio for vivid imagery
• DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI-D (in/out), VGA 15 pin D-sub (Composite, Component, S-Video), which enable connectivity to a wide range of peripherals
• RS-232C, Ethernet (RJ45), IR Remote, DDC/CI for external control
• TileMatrix, which facilitates video walls up to 10 x 10
• Built-in ATSC digital tuner, which allows for high-definition broadcast capabilities (V801-AVT model only)
